Comforting Thought
(Markus Rill)

Woke up too early in the a.m., shed a little tear
for no reason I could name, it’s just the passin’ of the years
just the passing of the years
Time sure keeps a-runnin’ and I can’t make her stop
I’m trippin’ and a-stumblin’, I know I can’t keep up
I know I can’t keep up

But the world might show me mercy
if not in the things that can be bought
someone might find a way to love me somewhere, somehow
ain’t that a comforting thought
hey, that’s a comforting thought

There’s few mistakes I’ve yet to make, some I made that I won’t mention
didn’t know how hard my heart could break despite my best intentions
so much for my good intentions

But the Lord might show me mercy
I bet He knows that I’m distraught
and I might find a way to be true somewhere, somehow
ain’t that a comforting thought
to me that’s a comforting thought

And a night can get so empty
and a mind can get so weak
I hope I learned from what these dues I’ve paid have taught me
hey, that’s a comforting thought
that’s a comforting thought

Yeah, the Lord might show me mercy
I bet He knows that I’m distraught
and I might find a way to be true somewhere, somehow
ain’t that a comforting thought
hey, that’s a comforting thought
