The Only Things I Know Lyrics - Singles - Wild Strawberries

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
