Half Of What We Know

歌詞

Your lonesomeness I know And your garden will not grow You can weed it all you want, you’re still too slow If it wasn’t for the sun, all the roses would’ve won And you pin up on my blouse a blue ribbon Your lonesomeness I know It was mine not long ago But I see it in your eyes, all dark with woe ‘Cause the stills have all run dry Pretty women passed you by They’re lying in a pile waiting to die And what if I never gave you keys to the kingdom fine And what if I never made you walk that crooked line And what if my love was raging-then would you be mine? ‘Cause only half of what we know comes true in time Half of what we know comes true Your lonesomeness I see, but I know it’s not for me And the mountains all have crumbled to the sea And the mermaid finds you there, puts flowers in your hair And thus begins your nautical affair And what if I never gave you keys to the kingdom fine And what if I never made you walk that crooked line And what if my love was raging-then would you be mine? ‘Cause only half of what we know comes true in time Half of what we know comes true Your lonesomeness I feel I can see it when we kneel at the altar where the ocean bites your heels But the beach is turning black and the sand storm holds me back And I lost you when you tumbled through the cracks And what if I never gave you keys to the kingdom fine And what if I never made you walk that crooked line And what if my love was raging-then would you be mine? ‘Cause only half of what we know comes true in time Half of what we know comes true in time Half of what we know comes true in time Only half of what we know comes true
