gonna get your heart broke
You better do it just right
And you gotta move your stuff
And the only friend you can reach
Isn't a good friend at all
And you know when he says now, don't you,
that you never should have made that call
He has blessings, there's nobody there,
at the moment I was most alone
And Amos says a full time fool,
I got all those birds flying
And the blessings were like poets
That we'd never find time to know
But when time stopped I found a place
And I said, here have some coffee
It's straight black and very old
and all that I could hold
I had blessings, a moment of peace
Yeah, blessings, can we meet,
At the crossroads of disaster
With the angel in the streetlamp
As I walk on a mile of 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
It's like getting the answers
when I don't need them anymore
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
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
It's not a release, it's not a reward
It's 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
See them smiling, see them stuck,
see them try, I wish them luck
