Blessed The Hand Lyrics & Chords By Jennifer O'connor

Oh blessed the hand
We have been good
And we understand
That everyday sun can matter to none if rain is our pride

Oh Mari my god
We have been still
But we have too lied
The sampsonite dread
The things that were said
your memory that died

I don't want to be a false hope to thee
I want you stay and see how I know I can turn out to be

Oh let it all go
Something so sweet
For something so slow
The difference is now
The hands of my clothes
The covers and sand
That each of us know
The letter unsent
And the shaking regret
Of having not tried

I don't want to be a false hope to thee
I want you to stay and see how I know I can turn out to be
Lyrics For : You Did

Take your photographs and don't say you'll be back cause I know I know you won't
It's a little thing I learned last time
oh last time we met
Last time I did not forget

I've been counting off the ways on dirty fingers all day
And I keep glancing up the stairs every, oh every chance I get

Last time I did not forget
But you did
Lyrics For : Sister

N train going home I am here alone
Night falls on city skin that's closed off and withering
I've been thinking of your face the last time that we embraced
It feeds me while I count stars from the back of this subway car

Sister what can I do
Sister I miss you

He calls twice a week just to hear me speak
We don't talk about what's gone or who's without
It's a stones throw to a black flower
It's got me counting hours
When a phone rings late a night
there's no way its ever gonna be right ever again

Sister what can I do
Sister I miss you
Lyrics For : Pink Florida

Pink sun I'm done
I won't come here again
I am so tired
I slept for 12 hours last night

Your hands soothes the hardest parts
The pink remove that mends the studied art

Sunscreen fails me
I'm as pink as a candy
I love some things
Some things break and tear me

Your hands soothe the hardest parts
The pink remove that mends the studied art

Pink Florida
Pink Florida
Lyrics For : Annie

Well I tried but I lied to you
I don't need a lot of answers
I don't take a lot of chances its true

2 years back from the farm
A city life that's doing me harm
A job and a train and folks who don't know my name
This city's got me blue

Annie can't you see that we have been down this road before
With all the shaded dances and all the failed romances in store
Where every day is the same
Feelings that we fail to name
annie we can do it cause baby we have done it
We've done it before

Annie I've got your best wishes in my back pocket forevermore
And a hope that doesn't falter no matter what's to come or has before

This could be our reason as good as any reason can get
This could mean the freedom to do what we have not done yet
It couldn't be any clearer
Oh baby won't you look in the mirror
Nothing's gonna change until we cannot stay the same and yes it's for the better

Annie I've got your best wishes in my back pocket forevermore
And a hope that doesn't falter no matter what's to come or has before.....

Lyrics For : Spiders and Handgrenades

Take my hand
We're getting out of here
We can hide
From those people who want our lives
Oh I wanted to be with you
And that's the truth

I'm not afraid of spiders or handgrenades
I've lost my fear
And I will call all your bluffs my dear
Cause i wanted to be with you
and that's the truth
Lyrics For : Perfection is Not An Accident

She said shoot me twice I won't die the first time
I'm resilient and full of pride
I don't believe in bullets and bad bad dreams
I am not what you think you see

Oh I will say goodbye
But I won't say you're out of my mind
I know that my will just won't
my will just won't survive

It takes practice to be perfect in every way
And I see that you're right about most every thing
You are practically shimmering

Oh I will say goodbye
But I won't say you're out of my mind
I know that my will just won't
my will just won't survive

Take me back to my bed where I feel safe and warm
I don't know what to do today
Oh there's no time and too much time at the same
I have lost my ability


Oh I will say goodbye
But I won't say you're out of my mind
I know that my will just won't
my will just won't survive
Lyrics For : Beggar's Cup

Flu-ridden days
Sleep past my stop
Can't say enough about what you've got
And I feel lonely today
But nothing is wrong
I guess I'm ok about where I stand

I know the shake of your beggar's cup
I recognize the sound of you giving up
I can hear it
Oh i hear it
I hear it from two towns away

We wake every day as if we are frozen to death
And I can't say I blame you for being upset
With the ways and the means of all these days in between
But it don't matter much now
Do you know what I mean?

I know the shake of your beggar's cup
I recognize the sound of you giving up
I can hear it Oh I hear it
I hear it from two towns away....


Lyrics For : Falling Towers

Jump first and don't ask questions
First place to all who come
This is the town of futures
We hear the starting gun

We don't pray to a higher power
We just watch out for falling towers

Your song that keesp me holy
The greatest love of all
I miss the ceremony
Of every spring and fall

We don't pray to a higher power
We just watch out for falling towers

Jump first and don't ask questions
First place to all who come
This is the town of futures
We hear the starting gun
Lyrics For : Winter Song

Could this be the last snow of the season
Or just another very good reason to stay indoors
Keeping score
Of what I want less in my life and what I want more

I guess I could call you up and
tell you all my thoughts about our biggest mistakes
The second-hand breaks of a girl who don't know what she wants and then cries when its fake

But you know I won't let go
Until you say I should
You know I steal the show
Just so you can see me shine

It's cold and it's getting colder but
You should know that I'm getting older and
I'm really all right
If just for tonight
The view of the world that you hold in your heart
It's a beautiful sight
Lyrics For : What If I'm Right

I've left so many times
it's hard for me to find a place I can call home
I've done it with my love and I've done it with noone that I could call my own
Each time it is the same
I find that nothing's really changed
Nothing you can show
It's the itch you cannot scratch
The burning of the lack
Everywhere you go

What if I am right
What if I am true
What if it is not enough for you

Did I leave it far behind on the New York subway line or in her lover's hair?
Will I find it on the shore in this southern city bore, I hardly recognize
Cause I've seen it in his eyes and in the long goodbyes from here to falling rock
Oh I know that it won't quit that we won't hear the end of it
until the day we die

What if I am right
What if I am true
And what if it is not enough for you

So give it all you've got love
Don't look to what you had
I think that you will find love
It's not so bad
