The One Thing

picked up the phone tonight

can't remember when

been a long time since i've heard your voice

don't know where you've been

listened awhile and it was clear

you've been searching for something

a life on the road played out loud

kept you from hearing the one thing

heard the words of an angel

is what you said to me

but all that i was doing

was getting you to see

the feelings i had,

i left on the side of the road

of no return,

when the nights drank up the truth with lies

in the morning i came to learn

sometimes you have to make a choice

or maybe it makes you

picked up the phone tonight

and it was then i knew

heard the words of an angel

can't remember when

been a long time since you've heard my voice

don't know where i've been

listened awhile and it was clear

i've been searching for something

life in the lights became a crowd

kept me from knowing the one thing

heard the voice of an angel

so glad you called on me

reminding me of this love thing

and getting me to see
