Four

Working through my millions of CD's, I came across Blues Traveler's great record Four this week. These three ballads are among my favorites, and all have had the capacity to make me cry for one reason or another over the years.

And if you can't already tell
I am unable to let things go
I'm told I do it very well
But more important you should know

That all the same
You've got no one to blame
But yourself
If you call that a waste

Cause it ain't me
That's been hurting you inside


Dreams we dreamed at night were never meant to come to life
I can't understand the ease she pulled away her hand
This time in my life I was hurt enough to care
I guess from now on I'll be careful what I share

...

A pocket is no place for a smile anyway
Someday I will find love again will blow my mind
Maybe it will be the love that got away from me
Is there a line to write that could make you cry tonight


I ask of you a very simple question
Did you think for one minute that you are alone
And is your suffering a privilege you share only
Or did you think that everybody else feels completely at home

...

If you think I've given up on you you're crazy
And if you think I don't love you well then you're just wrong
In time you just might take to feeling better
Time is the beauty of the road being long

...

Just wait
And it will come
