Broken (Buckingham Live)-Tift Merritt

[00:34.57]Once you were a straight shot, a shiny quarter in a new slot, [00:42.06]Night would keep the dreams that you got for afternoon. [00:47.86]Then telling the truth got so hard, [00:53.68]we were dancing in the backyard, [00:57.36]Once I knew the end and the start, [01:01.35] [01:02.29]but now that’s through. [01:05.53] [01:07.78]Now you’re broken and you don’t understand [01:12.09]What is broken falls into place once again. [01:16.41]Hand of kindness, come and gather me in like a rainstorm, [01:21.59] [01:22.46]Again and again and again, [01:25.33] [01:26.02]So morning comes to clean up like nothing happened when your heart stopped, [01:35.44]Like all the lawyers calling all cops to wave days through. [01:43.39] [01:44.76]Just close your eyes for this long, something’s mixed up and something’s gone, [01:52.37]Only fingers can you count on, and one leaves two. [02:01.91]Now you’re broken and you don’t understand [02:06.28]What is broken falls into place once again. [02:10.15]Hand of kindness, come and gather me in like a rainstorm, [02:17.08]Again and again and again, [02:20.95]And it’s these most loved losses, they are just old coin tosses, [02:35.67]And these most loved losses are the hardest to carry. [02:47.28]I wish I were a freeway laid out clearer than a bright day. [02:50.84]I’d run wide open down this causeway like brand new [03:00.07] [03:00.63]But I’m broken and I don’t understand [03:04.88]What is broken falls into place once again. [03:08.93]Hand of kindness, come and gather me in like a rainstorm, [03:14.61] [03:15.61]Again and again and again, [03:18.29] [03:18.80]But I’m broken and I don’t understand [03:22.60]What is broken falls into place once again. [03:25.47]Hand of kindness, come and gather me in like a rainstorm, [03:31.28] [03:31.96]Again and again and again, [03:36.27]Again and again and again, [03:40.45]Again and again and again, [03:45.00]I think I will break but I mend.
