Always the Last to Know

The things you did
I never saw them
I only picked up what I found
The deeds you hid
How could I’ve missed them?
They’re floating free all over town
When all screamed high
I whispered low
Always the last to know

Suspicious calls
I wasn’t listening
I never felt that insecure
Mail arrived
I wasn’t reading
I wasn’t ready to be sure
I was just a part
Of your late show
Always the last to know

Hallelujah
Sister
Brother
Bring out the blessing
Human touch
You ran so fast
I was so slow
Always the last to know

Please forgive me
For being foolish
That’s how I am
How about you?
I close my eyes
To keep and cherish
Guarding what was once so true
A love left freezing
In the snow
Always the last to know

Hallelujah
Sister
Brother
Bring out the blessing
Human touch
You ran so fast
I was so slow
Always the last to know

Hallelujah
Sister
Brother
Bring out the joy
I miss so much
You placed me with grace
In your darkest shadow
And I was always the last to know
