What You're Thinking

(album: Flight Of The Crow - 2010)

You're just a stones throw from me
But throwing stones could never be
The perfect way to start

Cos sticks and stones make broken bones
And empty words make broken homes
But it's love that broke our hearts

If I knew what you were thinking
I would stop this boat from sinking
But darling you are like the sand
And you're slipping through my hands
I just don't know what you're thinking

You're just a photo in a drawer
But photographs are not much more
Than ghosts we can't forget

You're just a red rag to a bull
You're just a false hope for a fool
But its as close as I can get

If I knew what you were thinking
I would stop this boat from sinking
But darling you are like the sun
Setting when my evening comes
I just don't know what you're thinking

And I would stop the sky from falling
If I knew, if I knew
And I would love you every morning
If I knew, if I knew

If I knew what you were thinking
I would stop this boat from sinking
But darling you are like the stars
I know I can't reach that far
I just don't know what you're thinking
