| Lyrics: | If you're gonna get your heart broke, you better do it just right,
It's gotta be raining, and
you gotta move your stuff that night,
And the only friend you can reach isn't a good friend at
all,
And you know when he says "Now who dumped who?" that you never should have made that
call.
I had the blessings, there's nobody there, there's nobody home,
Yeah, the
blessings, at the moment I was most alone
And aimless as a fulltime fool, the joke was on
me,
I got all those birds flying off of that tree, and that's a blessing.
And the
blessings were like poets that we never find time to know,
But when time stopped I found the
place where the poets go.
And they said, "Here have some coffee, it's straight, black and very
old,"
And they gave me sticks and rocks and stars and all that I could hold,
I had
the blessings, a moment of peace even when the night ends,
Yeah, the blessings, can we meet?
Can we meet again,
At the crossroads of disaster and the imperfect smile,
With the angel
in the streetlamp that blinks on as I walk on a mile, the blessings.
And the best ones
were the ones I got to keep as I grew strong,
And the days that opened up until my whole life
could belong,
And now I'm getting the answers, when I don't need them anymore,
I'm finding
the pictures, and I finally know what I kept them for,
I remember, I can see them, see them
smiling, see them stuck,
See them try, I wish them luck and all the blessings.
I was
fast asleep at three in the morning when I got the payphone call,
And she said, "Did I wake you
up," I said, "Hey, no, not at all."
And she said, "I got this suitcase and I don't know what to
pack,"
And I said, "You can take anything you want, just wait and see,
It's not a release,
not a reward, it's the blessings,
Its the gift of what you notice more,"
And I walked out
and I watched her kick the big pile of the night,
And we sat down and we waited for that
strange and empty light.
Yeah the blessings...
See them smiling, see them
stuck,
See them try, I wish them luck and all the blessings |
