Melody Gardot- Some Lessons

"Some Lessons" from the album Worrisome Heart

Melody, you're awesome!

Well, I'm buckled up inside
Miracle that I'm alive
Do not think I can survive
On bread and wine alone

To think that I could have fallen
A centimeter to the left
Would not be here to see the sunset
Or have myself a time

Well, why do the hands of time
so easily unwind?

Some lessons we learn the hard way
Some lessons don't come easy
And that's the price we have to pay

Well, some lessons we learn the hard way
They don't come right off and right east
And that's why they say some lessons learned
We learned the hard way

Remember the sound of the pavement
World turned upside down
City streets unlined and empty
Not a soul around

Life goes away in a flash
Right before your eyes
If I think real hard, well, I reckon
I had some real good times

Why do the hands of time
So easily unwind?

Some lessons we learn the hard way
Some lessons don't come easy
And that's the price we have to pay

Well, some lessons we learn the hard way
They don't come right off and right easy
And that's why they say some lessons learned
We learned the hard way

I think that this is the song that she wrote about a near fatal bike/car accident that she encountered.  She was on Letterman last night and wowed out ole Dave.

i think the lyrics should be posted. I really didnt know the lyrics until i just read them and wow. she was talking about her accident and her appreciation for life. The song really is personal. wow. "a centimetre to the left" and i wont be filled with the thrill i get everytime i hear her music.

[KBel20]

J'ai appris qu'elle était restée très longtemps à l'hôpital !

La pauvre était cassée de tous les côtés !

Un vrai miracle qu'elle s'en soit sortie !

Quelle belle voix et quel talent !

J'ai un album d'elle et c'est une merveille !

Une vraie artiste , en tout cas !

J'apprécie énormément Melody Gardot. Avec cette chanson, elle est bouleversante si l'on connaît l'histoire de son grave accident à vélo. Superbe !

the hard way, life has us at its time, peace with your soul , thanks for the sweet spirit that is melody.  peace

I just interviewed a lady on an little internet radio program I host who asked me 'what would I do and be if...' I suppose that's why "professionals" never get personal.

I was talked into that Host gig because "I have the FACE for radio." Unfortunately, I also have the soul for the Confessional's prvacy.

America's second consitutional amendment allows idiots to shoot innocents; never mind :-)) <---double chin
