To Know A Girl lyrics

I know a girl, she knows the world in ways so many don't She's always one for company but don't mind her being alone She dreams too big and sleeps too little and rises before the Sun When the midnight oil turns saints to sinners, she rivals before the dawn Oh, how lucky am I to know a girl I know a girl, she knows the world in ways so many won't Her interest in something less is quicksand to the stone She bides her time, she writes and bites her nails down to the quick Her soul is wise and Redwood high, her roots are wild as fig Oh, how lucky am I to know a girl Yeah, how lucky am I to love a girl She's the light that you leave on before you come to bed She's the aching in your heart, she's the song inside your head Oh, how lucky am I to love a girl I know a girl, I know a girl in ways so many won't I've seen her sweet, her veterans beat, her breakdown to the bone I let her in under my skin, she lets me take her home She's never less, simply the best, the best I've ever known How lucky am I to know a girl Yeah, how lucky am I to love a girl
