The Only Things I Know Lyrics

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
