Wish I Knew

from Rough Rider by Adrian Niles

/

lyrics

You’ve got time you were given
You’ve got love you’ve refused
You’ve got reason for living
And precious moments of refuge

Retrieve the stones that you’ve thrown
Place them back at your side
The unseen things you’ve been shown
You’ve mistaken as a free ride

As I stood alone I was wishing
I’d a-known you then

No glory hangs in the balance
The fruits on ground once the storms pass by
There’s blood on brow and in chalice
My flesh from yours like a tear from an eye

I’m the shell of a man that I once was
My jivied soul left in limbo
I’ll make my peace once the deafening buzz
Tells me what it wants me to know

As I stood alone I was wishing
I’d a-known you then
