Knock on Wood Songtext
von Ian North

I told my love to wait for me
Down where the waters run
The sea became too wide to cross
What will she do if I don′t come?

My love told me to wait for her
'Til she return again
I pray the drunks and lunatics
To let my waiting end

Knock on wood
Knock on wood

My father was a soldier once
It was a tale he would not tell
But he tried to make a perfect world
Even though he′d seen it fall


And I don't wanna die too young
I wanna see my children grow
I know someday the world must end
But I don't wanna see it go

Knock on wood
Knock on wood
Knock on wood

What if the sun should fail to shine?
Or the rain should fail to rain?
What if my love should not be true?
And all my love′s in vain?

Somewhere there′s gathering in the West
My oldest child is coughing
The youngest one is torturing the dog
And in the yard, my love is laughing, laughing

Knock on wood
Knock on wood
Knock on wood
Knock on wood
