Blessed Instant

One blessed instant, thought I'd laid my battles down

But once again it's time to move along

Though my body's aching

I spent my time, my precious time

When time was all I waited for

Scaling every dizzy height

To see what lay ahead

And they say that truth lies in the heart

I say it's in my wayward attitude

The gypsy's mark engraved upon my brow

With all my secret wishes thrown upon the wind

Some come true and others never will

And some I can't remember

I lost my love, my precious love

When love was all I counted on

I got too busy hunting down what I held in my hand

And they say that strength lies in the bone

I say it's in my stony attitude

I walk away and won't be turned around

Stand by the roadside, facing the headlights

Wait for the break of dawn

Stand by the roadside, facing the headlights

Wait for the break of dawn

One battle lost and yet another battle's won

Now's the time to hitch up and be strong

Though my heart is breaking

We move into those vacancies

And never really come to see

Our craving runs much deeper than we are prepared to go

And tonight I need a star to guide me home

I see the moon is on the run

I travel light and won't be far behind

Stand by the roadside, facing the headlights

Wait for the break of dawn

Stand by the roadside, facing the headlights

Wait for the break of dawn
