text: Sad song on the radio
  Echoes down this empty road here tonight
  With a lost melody and a lonely rhyme
  Of windshield wipers slapping time---you know the one
  Well it woke up something that was sleeping below my skin
  I wanted to tell you so much, but where do I start? Where do I begin?
  Do I start with how I lost my kindness and how I found it once again
  And Im gonna play it as it lays
  Play it as it lays
  Ooh, ooh
  Every perfect picture has a mess or two
  Sometimes its me, sometimes its you, but thats all right
  You surrender, you confess, you make a mess, you get undressed and call it a night
  But I remember the first time that I lay down inside your arms
  How I kissed your tired mouth, so full of grace, so empty of harm
  How I knew the road ahead would ravel itself, cursed and charmed
  And I would just play it as it lays
  Play it as it lays
  Play it as it lays
  Say a prayer for the brokenhearted
  Get back up and get it started again
  Say a prayer for the brokenhearted
  Say a prayer for love
  Years go by, you add them up
  Some days are holy, some days are rough, but thats all right
  Its a used up line, you know its true
  I never loved anyone the way that I love you
  Yesterday I walked down the streets we walked when were young
  Tried to pull a thread between who we once were and who weve become
  And if we lost a little along the way, thats all right, whats done is done
  And Im just gonna play it as it lays
  Oh, play it as it lays
  Im just gonna play it as it lays
  Oh, play it as it lays
  All right
  Play it as it lays
  Im gonna
  Play it as it lays
  All right
