I asked my Father once
How do you know that girl's the one?
What do you feel as life goes by
Is it brighter? Am I high?
He said to me, "My son
The wind will whisper words of love
The sky is blue and from above
You'll know that's where she came from"
You'll know that girl's the one
You'll know you know that girl's the one
Pa, she holds me so tight
You hold me so close, love
But do you know the worst, love?
Tears and car rides hurt, love
Running from our worst selves
Have you felt the pain, love?
The knowing they're not there, love
The other end of your line
Suddenly their own time
Suddenly, alone time
I cried to Mother once
I yelled and screamed — my tongue a gun
That girl she left me lying here
Dead to rights — nowhere clear
She said to me, "My son
Perhaps the man who builds it all
Must sit and watch the people flow
Through the door all alone
You'll know that girl's the one
You'll know you know that girl's the one
Pa, she holds me so tight
You hold me so close, love
But do you know the worst, love?
Tears and car rides hurt, love
Running from our worst selves
Have you felt the pain, love?
The knowing they're not there, love
The other end of your line
Suddenly their own time
Suddenly, alone time
Beauty sees what beauty does
And loves the things that beauty loves
Beauty be my enemy and weapon for the lucky ones
Beauty sees what beauty does
And loves the things that beauty loves
Beauty be my enemy and weapon for the lucky ones
You hold me so close, love
But do you know the worst, love?
Tears and car rides hurt, love
Running from our worst selves
Have you felt the pain, love?
The knowing they're not there, love
The other end of your line
Suddenly their own time
Suddenly, alone time
