Paragraph Lyric
Maybe you're waitingHoping the world will spell it's nameIn an open minded, whole-hearted wayMaybe you're waitingLooking for the widowWho's lost between a lie and a lonely wayMaybe you're afraid I'm the same wayA beggar's crutch, an angel's sighA broken hand pressed to its sideThese are the only things I knowLove is nothing when it's wiseJesus holds me wondering whyThese are the only things I knowEveryone's a preacher and everyone's a bakerAnd everyone's a bit of an undertaker going round and roundThrow me a bottle and I'll pass you a hammerAnd we can make music like chinese lanterns blowing downI can hear you talk about the space behind the mirrorAnd I can see you hold your hand up highBreathe into the wind and talk about eternityLook into the gutter and tell me what you seeThe patient sun, the constant tideThe tuneless minstrelsy of prideThese are the only things I knowI am yours and you are mineLife is circled by a lineThese are the only things I know
