Jesse Terry "No Disguise" Live at The Bluebird Cafe, 12.17.09

words & music by Jesse Terry and Amy Loftus

No Disguise

It seems like my whole life
Every sliver of light
Is followed by miles of black smoke
But a door always opens
After I have been broken
Like an angel has thrown down a rope

And that lonesome river that swallows me whole
Is the same steady current that can polish a stone
And I know that theres beauty in all the wrong turns
But this time baby I dont wanna learn

Give me just one blessing that dont come from pain
Give me just one sunrise without any rain
Give me just one blessing that dont make me wise
Give me just one blessing with no disguise

Im left with no choice
When I hear your voice
Theres only one direction to run
I hope the moon in the trees
And how youre looking at me
Dont haunt me for years still to come

But those cant be the cards, cant be the plan
To build every castle on a bed of quick-sand
Cause this time feels different, it feels like its fate
Like you are somebody I could never replace

Give me just one blessing that dont come from pain
Give me just one sunrise without any rain
Give me just one blessing that dont make me wise
Give me just one blessing with no disguise

Please no more perspective, I never want to forget this

Just one blessing, just one blessing
Just one blessing, just one blessing
Give me just one blessing with no disguise
