《The Blessings》歌词

[00:00:00] The Blessings - Dar Williams

[00:00:11] If you're gonna get your heart broke you better do it just right

[00:00:16] It's gotta be raining and you gotta move your stuff that night

[00:00:21] And the only friend you can reach isn't a good friend at all

[00:00:28] And you know when he says "Now who dumped who "

[00:00:31] That you never should have made that call

[00:00:35] I had the blessings there's nobody there there's nobody home

[00:00:39] Yeah the blessings at the moment I was most alone

[00:00:44] And aimless as a full time fool the joke was on me

[00:00:49] I got all those birds flying off of that tree that's a blessing

[00:01:06] And the blessings were like poets that we never find time to know

[00:01:11] But when time stopped I found the place where the poets go

[00:01:17] And I said "Here have some coffee it's straight black and very old"

[00:01:22] And they gave me sticks and rocks and stars and all that I could hold

[00:01:27] I had the blessings a moment of peace even when the night ends

[00:01:32] Yeah the blessings can we meet Can we meet again

[00:01:37] At the crossroads of disaster and the imperfect smile

[00:01:42] With the angel in the street lamp

[00:01:45] That blinks on as I walk on a mile the blessings

[00:01:59] And the best ones were the ones I got to keep as I grew strong

[00:02:03] And the days that opened up until my whole life could belong

[00:02:09] It's like getting the answers when I don't need them anymore

[00:02:15] I'm finding the pictures and I finally know what I kept them for

[00:02:20] I remember I can see them see them smiling see them stuck

[00:02:29] See them try I wish them luck and all the blessings

[00:02:43] I was fast asleep at three in the morning when I got the pay phone call

[00:02:48] And she said "Did I wake you up" I said "Hey no not at all"

[00:02:54] And she said "I got this suitcase and I don't know what to pack"

[00:02:59] And I said "You can take anything you want just wait and see

[00:03:08] It's not a release it's not a reward it's the blessings

[00:03:13] It's the gift of what you notice more"

[00:03:16] And I walked out and I watched her kick the big pile of the night

[00:03:21] And we sat down and we waited for that strange and empty light

[00:03:25] Yeah the blessings

[00:03:32] See them smiling see them stuck

[00:03:34] See them try I wish them luck and all the blessings
