All my blessed mistakes The ones that I hold dear I will throw to the wind For the chance you're flying near I will find the nest we made I will listen for your call Two songbirds in the night Two lovers in the dawn I'll head west for the winter setlle on that western shore When the snow gives way to the sun I will find my way back home I will find the nest we made I will listen for your call Two songbirds in the night Two lovers in the dawn

I aint never been a ragin sober but I've had my wits enough to tide me over and since I left home, I've never been too rich but always had enough to keep me out the ditch but I aint never had enough of you x 4 always had enough of rest to keep me restless and always had enough of breath to leave me breathless and when I leave, I've always left enough for me At least enough to be sure, the others'd let me be. I aint never had enough of you x 4 I always had enough to eat but I knew hunger and always had enough to see but I knew wonder and when I wondered if the cold would break my bones I always had enough of heat to wander home but I aint never had enough of you x 4

Last night again, I saw you in my dreams. I could not reach you but you wee calling out to me. I was brought up by a tender father and a mother who writes poetry in the summer. You and I want the same thing. Can't you see, no, that hasn't changed? You don't have a phone or an address. I could not reach you but I was trying my best. You've got sirens and a howling wind. I've got the quiet, would you like to come in? You and I want the same things. Can't you see, no, that hasn't changed? Where are you going with your eyes all closed? If I were to miss you, you'd be the only one to know. Or do you startle at the pace of change? Have you bolted only to miss the reigns? You and I want the same things. Can't you see, no, that hasn't changed? Last night again I saw you in my dreams. I could not reach you but it don't matter much to me. You were calling my name. Oh, that has not changed. You and I want the same things, Can't you see, no, that won't change?

Oh the sun shines here Brighter than I knew it could It’s so lovely in the west And I will try my very best To make it home But I’m not all here yet I guess, I guess Cause I still feel something Tuggin at my chest My heart swells You’ve got a voice like a bell Rings out over the river From the hillside where we fell down Laid in the garden And watched the sun rise As the stars fell behind us And we shut our heavy eyes But I’m not all here yet I guess, I guess Cause I still feel something Tuggin at my chest But I’m glad to miss you And to know you’re something
