The Blessings - Dar Williams[00:00:00]
If you're gonna get your heart broke you better do it just right[00:00:11]
It's gotta be raining and you gotta move your stuff that night[00:00:16]
And the only friend you can reach isn't a good friend at all[00:00:21]
And you know when he says "Now who dumped who "[00:00:28]
That you never should have made that call[00:00:31]
I had the blessings there's nobody there there's nobody home[00:00:35]
Yeah the blessings at the moment I was most alone[00:00:39]
And aimless as a full time fool the joke was on me[00:00:44]
I got all those birds flying off of that tree that's a blessing[00:00:49]
And the blessings were like poets that we never find time to know[00:01:06]
But when time stopped I found the place where the poets go[00:01:11]
And I said "Here have some coffee it's straight black and very old"[00:01:17]
And they gave me sticks and rocks and stars and all that I could hold[00:01:22]
I had the blessings a moment of peace even when the night ends[00:01:27]
Yeah the blessings can we meet Can we meet again [00:01:32]
At the crossroads of disaster and the imperfect smile[00:01:37]
With the angel in the street lamp[00:01:42]
That blinks on as I walk on a mile the blessings[00:01:45]
And the best ones were the ones I got to keep as I grew strong[00:01:59]
And the days that opened up until my whole life could belong[00:02:03]
It's like getting the answers when I don't need them anymore[00:02:09]
I'm finding the pictures and I finally know what I kept them for[00:02:15]
I remember I can see them see them smiling see them stuck[00:02:20]
See them try I wish them luck and all the blessings[00:02:29]
I was fast asleep at three in the morning when I got the pay phone call[00:02:43]
And she said "Did I wake you up" I said "Hey no not at all"[00:02:48]
And she said "I got this suitcase and I don't know what to pack"[00:02:54]
And I said "You can take anything you want just wait and see[00:02:59]
It's not a release it's not a reward it's the blessings[00:03:08]
It's the gift of what you notice more"[00:03:13]
And I walked out and I watched her kick the big pile of the night[00:03:16]
And we sat down and we waited for that strange and empty light[00:03:21]
Yeah the blessings[00:03:25]
See them smiling see them stuck[00:03:32]
See them try I wish them luck and all the blessings[00:03:34]
