Tift Merritt - Broken (Solo acoustic) lyrics

Once you were a straight shot, a shiny quarter in a new slot Night would keep the dreams that you got for afternoon Then telling the truth got so hard, we were dancing in the backyard Once I knew the end and the start, but now that's through Now you're broken and you don't understand What is broken falls into place once again Hand of kindness, come and gather me in like a rainstorm Again and again and again Well morning comes to clean up like nothing happened when your heart stopped Like all the lawyers calling all cops to wave days through So close your eyes for this long, something's mixed up and something's gone Only fingers can you count on, and one leaves two Now you're broken and you don't understand What is broken falls into place once again Hand of kindness, come and gather me in like a rainstorm Again and again and again I think I will break but I mend And it's these most loved losses, they are just old coin tosses And it's these most loved losses are the hardest to carry I wish I were a freeway laid out clearer than a bright day I'd run wide open down this causeway like brand new But I'm broken and I don't understand What is broken falls into place once again Hand of kindness, come and gather me in like a rainstorm Again and again Cause I'm broken and I don't understand What is broken falls into place once again Hand of kindness, come and gather me in like a rainstorm Again and again and again Again and again and again Again and again and again I think I will break but I mend
