Paw - Couldn't Know lyrics

rate me

Couldn't Know

Ah, the sun beats down

On my tan on my well-fed body

And the fishermen at the end of the pier

Strike a chord of curiosity

With their thick lines

Yeah, they've caught something big

And they asked me

Can I lend a hand?

Want you to see

What I, I could not see

I want you to know

What I, I could not know

They got the ropes down underneath her

And we started, to pull her up, as she

Started to abandon all her children

As she got along-side the pier

I stared into her one sad eye

And I, I began to dream

I want you to see

What I, I could not see

I want you to know

What I, I could not know

The most beautiful thing I'd ever seen

Oh she's, she's staring back at me

She, was eight feet long

And she weighed four hundred twenty pounds

And I'll name all her children

In hopes that they obtain

Some degree of her perfection

And it will take them all

Two years to hit the water

I want you to see

What I, I could not see

I want you to know

What I, I could not know

The most beautiful thing I'd ever seen

Oh she's staring back at me

And she's in my mind right now

Yeah, the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen

Alright, here's the rub

She, she's not comin'... back

Yeah, and that's why I sing this song

Hey, I could not know

What I got myself into

I could not see, what I'd become

I believe, I guess believing

Won't bring her on back

Yeah, take it away

Aw, everything

I'll sit on a ledge... outside

For the tenth time

Too wide

Don't wanna have to...
