I hope you enjoy the song!

THE ONES WHO NEVER KNOW LOVE

Words & Music By Jerry Pettit Facebook.com/JerryPettitMusic

There are souls who walk through gardens Never stopping for the rose They see the thorns and remember bleeding So they keep their windows closed

Built their castles out of caution Stone by stone and year by year Now the walls are grown so high and thick They can't remember why they're here

CHORUS: Oh, THE ONES WHO NEVER KNOW LOVE THE ONES WHO NEVER KNOW LOVE They're not cruel, they're just afraid Of the price that trust has paid My heart goes out to THE ONES WHO NEVER KNOW LOVE

There's a man who lives on my street Walks alone at evening time Rarely smiles at passing strangers Downturned eyes that never climb.

Past the fortress of politeness To the tender heart below He's been wounded by the arrows So he'll never let them show

CHORUS: Oh, THE ONES WHO NEVER KNOW LOVE THE ONES WHO NEVER KNOW LOVE They're not cruel, they're just afraid Of the price that trust has paid My heart goes out to THE ONES WHO NEVER KNOW LOVE

I knew a girl with eyes like amber Said she'd never need a soul That independence was her virtue That surrender killed you slow

But sometimes when the music played I'd see her sway and look away As if she heard another calling From a place she couldn't stay

CHORUS: Oh, THE ONES WHO NEVER KNOW LOVE THE ONES WHO NEVER KNOW LOVE They're not cruel, they're just afraid Of the price that trust has paid My heart goes out to THE ONES WHO NEVER KNOW LOVE
