The Only Things I Know |
| Maybe you’re waiting |
| Hoping the world will spell it’s name |
| In an open minded, whole-hearted way |
| Maybe you’re waiting |
| Looking for the widow |
| Who’s lost between a lie and a lonely way |
| Maybe you’re afraid I’m the same way |
| A beggar’s crutch, an angel’s sigh |
| A broken hand pressed to its side |
| These are the only things I know |
| Love is nothing when it’s wise |
| Jesus holds me wondering why |
| These are the only things I know |
| Everyone’s a preacher and everyone’s a baker |
| And everyone’s a bit of an undertaker going round and round |
| Throw me a bottle and I’ll pass you a hammer |
| And we can make music like chinese lanterns blowing down |
| I can hear you talk about the space behind the mirror |
| And I can see you hold your hand up high |
| Breathe into the wind and talk about eternity |
| Look into the gutter and tell me what you see |
| The patient sun, the constant tide |
| The tuneless minstrelsy of pride |
| These are the only things I know |
| I am yours and you are mine |
| Life is circled by a line |
| These are the only things I know |
