Crooked Still - Half of What We Know lyrics

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 pa**ed 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
