Good Again
(c) and (p) 2004 Jody Blackwell, Sweet Amnesia Music (ASCAP)
You’d better go there alone
I’m not in any kind of mood
to tell a circle of shadowy faces
who I am and what I do
Drink a lot of wine
Make a bunch of new friends
Have the time of my life
only to lose it again
No, I’ll stay in this room
Keeping watch over the silence
Be the self-appointed guardian
of these uncertain times
You can call it jaded or
Holding out for a better end
But I’m saving up my graces for
when things are good again
All the hope in my veins
I used to treat it like water
Squeezing out torrential rains
on anyone who would loiter
Now I’m learning patience
Let the spaces draw me to them
I’m saving up all my graces for
when things are good again

Rescue
Days of waiting
under wind-starved sails
Her heart had taken to rationing
All that remained of a hope
now capsized
Time was as still as a moonless tide
Sometimes in the breeze would blow
another heart without oars
with a wanderer’s eye
and a pirate’s remorse
and for a while they’d hold
an uneasy course
But she’d grown accustomed to
the quiet nights
No room for reeling in a heartache
Two souls steering through a starless sky
does not a rescue make
Now and again
she’d have visions of light
goading her on toward some promise land
but sometimes drifting is it’s own relief
keeping her distance from invisible reefs
But she’d grown accustomed to
the quiet nights
No room for reeling in a heartache
Two souls steering through a starless sky
does not a rescue make
