All I Need to Know

There are several songs with this title, but only one is by Keith Reid. Wouter Kramer alerts us to this Waite/Reid rarity, and kindly transcribed the words for us: at present we don't know what the song sounds like, nor when it was recorded, but it was probably around 1995, same time as In God's Shadow; it has some characteristic imagery in it, albeit clearly in the 'late' Reid style.

Her love lies in shadows.
Ten silent fathoms deep.
I'll swim through dark waters
to watch her sleep.

My love calls on wastelands.
Crossing through space and time.
Awaiting her pleasure and mine.

  All of my life
  Tossed in the tide
  Washed in the rain and snow
  Someday I'll be with her
  and that's all I need to know, oh yeah
  That's all I need to know

Her voice is sweet reason
She knows my darkest fears
She suits(?) my confusion
and my tears

She knows that I need her soul.
I give her my very heart
Existence, till death us part
oh yeah

   All of my life
   Tossed in the tide
   Washed in the ebb and flow,
   Someday I'll be with her
   and that's all I need to know, oh yeah
   All I need to know

      Come innocence,
      Up to the palace, you find
      The mirror in the room
      She left behind a hand full of seashells
      Reflecting in the moonshine
      Oh yeah, the moonshine
      Telling me, that's all I need to know

   All of my life
   Tossed in the tide
   Washed in the ebb and flow
   Someday I'll be with her
   and that's all I need to know, oh yeah
   All I need to know
