Mental Patience

from talkin' paradox blues by Jesse O'Neill

lyrics

He was a strange man in a strange land; a stranger to himself
He saw some hard times, he held some hard lines; he felt like someone else
He made some good work out of some bad hurt, he tried to help himself
Because when the night comes and his mind runs, there's nobody else

You will get hit over the head, you're not alone
And everything that comes to pass, you'll make your own
This woe wasn't meant to be
This woe wasn't meant for me

She was a young girl in an old world, looking for her way
She had a full glass but then a bad crash drifted her astray
She's at the party but she's lonely; she does not know herself
And in the mirror things are clearer; there ain't nobody else

He's thinking out loud, he wants this dark cloud to follow someone else
And since the car wreck it's been a hard stretch, but at least she has her health
He's got a strong will and a tough heart, he needs to push on through
She's got a clean slate and a fresh start, there is nothing she can't do
