Play It As It Lays (Album Version) - Patti Scialfa

作词：Patti Scialfa

作曲：Patti Scialfa

Sad song on the radio

Echoes down this empty road here tonight

With a lost melody and a lonely rhyme

Of windshield wipers slapping time

You know the one

Well it woke up something

That was sleeping below my skin

I wanted to tell you so much

But where do I start

Where do I begin

Do I start with how I lost my kindness

And how I found it once again

And I'm gonna play it as it lays

Play it as it lays

Ooh ooh

Every perfect picture has a mess or two

Sometimes it's me sometimes it's you

But that's all right

You surrender you confess

You make a mess you get undressed

And call it a night

But I remember the first time

That I lay down inside your arms

How I kissed your tired mouth

So full of grace so empty of harm

How I knew the road ahead would ravel itself

Cursed and charmed

And I would just play it as it lays

Play it as it lays

Play it as it lays

Say a prayer for the brokenhearted

Get back up and get it started again

Say a prayer for the brokenhearted

Say a prayer for love

Years go by you add them up

Some days are holy

Some days are rough

But that's all right

It's a used up line

You know it's true

I never loved anyone the way

That I love you

Yesterday I walked down the streets

We walked when were young

Tried to pull a thread between

Who we once were and who we've become

And if we lost a little along the way

That's all right what's done is done

And I'm just gonna play it as it lays

Oh play it as it lays

I'm just gonna play it as it lays

Oh play it as it lays

All right

Play it as it lays

I'm gonna

Play it as it lays

All right

Ooh

Ooh

Ooh
