You Can't Know Everything - Deacon Blue

I wish I was a painter now

I’d paint all of this somehow

Words just don’t come quick enough

To catch that weak winter light

Leaking in from above

The rain’s gone off for a while

Probably coming back in style

Short glimpses of near perfection

Thanks, but I’ll walk and keep my coat on

You can’t know everything

You’re such an innocent soul

You can’t learn anything

Unless you let somebody show you

And you’ll not know everything

Even if you started right now

You must trust someone

Cause someday darling trust’s all you know

Here comes those sirens again

Or is it just my dreams that they’re in?

Racing towards and ending

When everything seems to be beginning

You can’t know everything

You’re such an innocent soul

You can’t learn anything

Unless you let somebody show you

And you’ll not know everything

Even if you started right now

You must trust someone

Cause someday darling trust’s all you know
