Verse 1

You're just a stones throw from me

 But throwing stones could never be

 The perfect way to start

Verse 2

Cos sticks and stones make broken bones

 Empty words make broken homes

 But its love that broke our hearts

Chorus 1

And 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

Intro

Verse 3

You're just a photo in a drawer

 But photographs are not much more

 Than ghosts we can't forget

Verse 4

You're just a red rag to a bull

 You're just a false hope for a fool

 But it's as close as I can get

Chorus 2

And 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

Bridge

And I will stop the sky from falling

If I knew

If I knew

And I will love you every morning

 If I knew

 If I knew

Ohoh Oh

Chorus 3

And 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
