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."
Chorus: 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."
Chorus: 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.
Chorus: 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
