Lyrics

[Verse]
Walking on a broken road
somewhere near my home
I heard a blackbird singing low
reminds me I'm alone

[Verse]
I picked up a flat rock
and skipped it across a stream
I was thinkin' about a song
that would bring her back to me

[Chorus]
The words they come and go
is it fast or slow
will it make her cry
or put a smile in her eyes
wish that I could write the song
'bout the things I should have known

[Verse]
I feel the night is closing in
Still not sure where I am
And the only thing that I can hear
Is the sound of myself cryin'

[Verse]
I know it was all the little things
That I just couldn't see
Cause I was in the next room writing songs
To make her fall in love with me

[Chorus]
The words they come and go
is it fast or slow
will it make her cry
or put a smile in her eyes
I wonder will I find a verse
that just makes sense to her
will I ever write the song
'bout the things I should have known

[Bridge]
Simple things like quiet hours
you never made it tough on me
all I had to do was listen
now I'm just gonna miss them


[Chorus]
The words they come and go
is it fast or slow
will it make her cry
or put a smile in her eyes
will I ever write the song...
about the things...
I should have... known
