Knowing Too Little Lyrics

Knowing Too Little lyrics

a misunderstanding born outta contempt
that was the rock I was battered against
oh sorrow dogged by sorrow was in my heart
don`t even know just where to start
I was knowin` too little an` feelin` too much
should`ve seen the penny dropping just a touch
I walked away as mad as could be
no matter how I try it`s the same damn thing

knowin` too little an` feelin` too much
more than a little bit outta touch
knowin` too little an` feelin` too much
more than a little bit outta touch

stone dead from standin` still
can`t run from the shadow that wishes me ill
a bone in the fly a fly in the bone
kept hanging around the door to my home
oh tell it to the river and tell it to the sea
this man`s gonna be the death of me
my tiny fist just isn`t a threat
not even enough to make him sweat

the wrinkle in the sheet next to him
didn`t see the trouble that she was in
when the ill wind started to blow
it was far too late for me to go
sun`s gonna shine bright at midnight
before I find out if my hunches were right
he knew damn well what lies were for
huff an` puff an` show her the door

life robs you of your bones an` slips by in dreams
and absolutely nothing is as it seems
that halfway point between life and death
slipped by and now I`ve less time left
I`ve worn this face far too long
I just got used to always bein` wrong
I know one thing one thing I know
that sweet sweet man`s just gotta go
