To Know A Girl

I know a girl
She knows the world
In ways so many don't
She always one for company
But don't mind to be alone
She dreams too big
And she sleeps too little
And rises before the sun
When the midnight oil
Turns saints to sinners
She brightens 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's 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 know a girl
I know a girl
I know a girl
In ways so many won't
I've see her sweet
Her red as beet
Her break down 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
