Lyrics
The Ancient Commonsense Of Things
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There are those who understand
That long before this all began
A hammer hit the nail with great sympathy
A clothespin hanging on the line
The cork that bottles up your wine
Strings that bowed in concert, make a symphony
And oh oh, the ancient commonsense of things
And oh oh, the ancient commonsense of things
There are those who know to look
Through all the crannies and the nooks
When I found you dear, what it meant to me
Book to shelf, and foot to shoe
And likewise I belong to you
My heart is pounding loud, just like a timpani
And oh oh, the ancient commonsense of things
And oh oh, the ancient commonsense of things
And oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh...
Oh oh, the ancient commonsense of things
And oh oh, the ancient commonsense of things
And oh oh, the ancient commonsense of things
And oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh...
Oh oh, the ancient commonsense of things
