I know you
Boy now see
That pretty girl when I was nine and three
Charming as a king
You are the king
And across the Magpies Bridge
I heard her sing great songs and chants
I know her
Some little girl
Like the way you thrash about their curls
But what's good for me
Is good for you
And the scars of war you're in
Other people have too
Sometimes you're gonna ride high
Sometimes you're gonna run cold
Whatever you do just be kind
And lick your fingers and wipe your nose
I see him
I know her
Off she flies to shake her pretty world
Hold out your hands
Never bear grudges
And tend the roots below
Above ground
You get greater love
[Chorus]
Sometimes you're gonna ride high
Sometimes you're gonna run cold
Whatever you do just be kind
And lick your fingers and wipe your nose
Lick your fingers and wipe your nose
Lick your fingers and wipe your nose
When you go
Smile wide and slow
Give the girl or boy your heart and soul
Ten fingers will hold
You in the cold
And leave nobbut your bones
Sat at the table oppos
The one you adore
Still floating down her pretty shore
