I Now Own This:

Today I got a new CD. I haven't heard the whole album yet, but evey song I've heard so far has been amazing. If you're fond of Emmylou Harris, Julie Miller, or my personal favorite, Sandra McCracken, Patty Griffin will be a welcome addition to your cd collection. I was torn between purchasing Impossible Dream or 1,000 Kisses. I decided upon Impossible Dream because it has the track "When it Don't Come Easy." That track was one of the four that Matt sent my way and it is what I like to call "heartbreakingly beautiful." For the last couple of days I have listened to that song on repeat. It's absolutely beautiful and worthy of me posting the lyrics. So, here they are.

Red lights are flashing on the highway

I wonder if we are ever gonna get home

I wonder if we're ever gonna get home tonight

Everywhere the water's getting rough

Your best intentions may not be enough

If you break down, I'll drive by and find you

If you forget my love, I'll try to remind you

And stay by you when it don't come easy

When it don't come easy

I don't know nothing except change will come

Year after year what we do is undone

TIme keeps moving from a crawl to a run

I wonder if we're gonna ever get home

You're out there walking down a highway

And all of the signs got blown away

Sometimes you wonder if you're walking in the wrong direction

So many things I had before

That don't matter to me now

Tonight I cry for the love that I've lost

And the love I've never found

When the last bird falls

And the last siren sounds

Someone will say what's been said before

It's only love we were looking for
