[00:00.000]The Blessings - Dar Williams
[00:05.990]Written by：Dar William
[00:11.980]If you're gonna get your heart broke you better do it just right
[00:16.560]It's gotta be raining and you gotta move your stuff that night
[00:21.420]And the only friend you can reach isn't a good friend at all
[00:28.330]And you know when he says"Now who dumped who"
[00:31.020]That you never should have made that call
[00:35.380]I had the blessings there's nobody there there's nobody home
[00:39.300]Yeah the blessings at the moment I was most alone
[00:44.870]And aimless as a full time fool the joke was on me
[00:49.340]I got all those birds flying off of that tree that's a blessing
[01:06.200]And the blessings were like poets that we never find time to know
[01:11.320]But when time stopped I found the place where the poets go
[01:17.600]And I said"Here have some coffee it's straight black and very old"
[01:22.570]And they gave me sticks and rocks and stars and all that I could hold
[01:27.210]I had the blessings a moment of peace even when the night ends
[01:32.310]Yeah the blessings can we meet Can we meet again
[01:37.750]At the crossroads of disaster and the imperfect smile
[01:42.730]With the angel in the street lamp
[01:45.070]That blinks on as I walk on a mile the blessings
[01:59.270]And the best ones were the ones I got to keep as I grew strong
[02:03.840]And the days that opened up until my whole life could belong
[02:09.980]It's like getting the answers when I don't need them anymore
[02:15.189]I'm finding the pictures and I finally know what I kept them for
[02:20.359]I remember I can see them see them smiling see them stuck
[02:29.049]See them try I wish them luck and all the blessings
[02:43.379]I was fast asleep at three in the morning when I got the pay phone call
[02:48.369]And she said"Did I wake you up" I said"Hey no not at all"
[02:54.799]And she said"I got this suitcase and I don't know what to pack"
[02:59.779]And I said"You can take anything you want just wait and see
[03:08.209]It's not a release it's not a reward it's the blessings
[03:13.269]It's the gift of what you notice more"
[03:16.309]And I walked out and I watched her kick the big pile of the night
[03:21.229]And we sat down and we waited for that strange and empty light
[03:25.839]Yeah the blessings
[03:32.309]See them smiling see them stuck
[03:34.628]See them try I wish them luck and all the blessings
