To Know A Girl

I know a girl, she knows the world in ways so many don't
She's always one for company but don't mind to be alone
She dreams too big and 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 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 red as beet, her break down to the bone
I let her in under my skin, she let's 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
