lyrics

matter to me


I went out today

bought a fragrant sachet

for a conscience that was driving me mad

but half way thru the day

I lost that sachet

and wound up feeling worse than I had

i felt dusted off then used

profoundly confused
by a
trust that I thought we had

but at the end of the day

things never work that way

so I offer up this plea for grace


to know the things that matter

and the things that don’t

the things that might

and the things that won't

all of those beautiful and sacred

the wounded and the belated

all those memories and movie scenes

of perfect and broken things

that stay forever on a mind


I wake up each day

and put a smile on display

like some china you keep in a case

you can hear it in my bones

I’m ready to go home

so I offer up this plea for grace


to know the things that matter

and the things that don’t

the things that might

and the things that won’t

all of those beautiful and sacred

the wounded and the belated

all those memories and move scenes

of perfect and broken things

that weigh forever on a mind


through pieced together scenes

and stolen broken dreams

these are the valleys
that teach us to bare

through the dullest of aches

from the quietest mistakes

to the most public of heartfelt affairs

thru gently broken wings

and semi severed strings

he is holding the rest of what’s there


to know the things that matter

and the things that don’t

the things that might

and the things that won’t

all of those beautiful and sacred

wounded and the belated

all those memories and movie scenes

of perfect and broken things

that stay forever on a mind
