Once you were a straight shot, a shiny quarter in a new slot   Night would keep the dreams that you got for afternoon   Then telling the truth got so hard, we were dancing in the backyard   Once I knew the end and the start, but now that’s through      Now you’re broken and you don’t understand   What is broken falls into place once again   Hand of kindness, come and gather me in like a rainstorm   Again and again and again      So morning comes to clean up like nothing happened when your heart stopped   Like all the lawyers calling all cops to wave days through   So close your eyes for this long, something’s mixed up and something’s gone   Only fingers can you count on, and one leaves two      Now you’re broken and you don’t understand   What is broken falls into place once again   Hand of kindness, come and gather me in like a rainstorm   Again and again and again   I think I will break but I mend      And it’s these most loved losses, they are just old coin tosses   And it'sthese most loved losses are the hardest to carry      I wish I were a freeway laid out clearer than a bright day   I’d run wide open down this causeway like brand new      But I’m broken and I don’t understand   What is broken falls into place once again.   Hand of kindness, come and gather me in like a rainstorm,   Again and again and again, cause I'm      But I’m broken and I don’t understand   What is broken falls into place once again.   Hand of kindness, come and gather me in like a rainstorm,   Again and again and again,   Again and again and again,   Again and again and again,   I think I will break but I mend
