Dawn Landes, Will Oldham - Second Time Around Lyrics

Lord knows, I’ve seen a lot of things in my life
Some good, some bad, my first kid, my first wife
I guess I’ve weathered a storm or two
But I’ve never seen a thing like you

I’ve tried to be a good man on my own
Work hard, share the yard with my own garden gnome
Well, what’s a single guy to do?
Til now I’ve never seen a thing like you

Oh love lift me up, lift me up
When I’m feeling down
Oh love, pick me up, pick me up
When I get knocked down, c’mon now
I hope it’s better the second time around

Who knows the things she must’ve seen out there
So much time on your own can be hard to bear
She’s so strong and brave and more
I guess I’ve never seen an angel before

Oh love lift her up, lift her up
When she’s feeling down
Oh love, pick her up, pick her up
When she gets knocked down, c’mon now
Please get her back on solid ground
Protect her
Keep her safe and sound
