He said, My name is Gabrielle Thomas, I blew in from out of town
My work keeps me on the road, but it's the best job that I've found
I don't mind the silence or the Super 8 Motel
And I've never met a person yet without a tale to tell
He said, I know you I heard you say, 'Jen, true love has no pride'
You gave Angela and Joe a lift that night they didn't have a ride
Across the room Elaine has drawn your face a hundred times
And I don't believe blood alone is the only tie that binds
Sit right here rest your bones No one's ever so alone
You can take the world down off your shoulders
I don't know why and how All I know is here and now
You can take the world down off your shoulders
He said, I'm moved to tenderness by what we cannot bare
Humbled by the things we can and do and learn to share
It seems I traveled years and years and yet I'm still sitting here
And nothing ever seems to change, just the dates and just
names
Sit right here rest your bones No one's ever so alone
You can take the world down off your shoulders
I don't know why and how All I know is here and now
You can take the world down off your shoulders
He said, Thank you for the coffee and for the extra cream
You seem to know instinctively that things are never what they
seem
You never know what might blow through the door like silent
prayer
And how many of us entertain angels unaware
Sit right here rest your bones No one's ever so alone
You can take the world down off your shoulders
I don't know why and how All I know is here and now
You can take the world down off your shoulders
