What I Thought I Wanted

Tuxedo in the closet, gold band in a box
Two days from the altar she went and called the whole thing off
What he thought he wanted, what he got instead
Leaves him broken and grateful

I passed understanding a long, long time ago
And the simple home of systems and answers we all know
What I thought I wanted, what I got instead
Leaves me broken and somehow peaceful

I keep wanting you to be fair
But that�s not what you said
I want certain answers to these prayers
But that�s not what you said

When I get to heaven I�m gonna go find Job
I want to ask a few hard questions, I want to know what he knows
About what it is he wanted and what he got instead
How to be broken and faithful

What I thought I wanted
What I thought I wanted
What I thought I wanted
What I thought I wanted

Staring in the water like Esops foolish dog
I can�t help but reflect on what it was I almost lost
What it was I wanted, what I got instead
Leaves me broken and grateful

I�m broken and grateful
I want to be broken and grateful
I want to be broken, peaceful, faithful, grateful, grateful
I want to be broken, peaceful, faithful, grateful, grateful

timely lyrics from sara groves' latest album, the other side of something. simple words, speaks volumes. not unlike many of her other songs, which is why i think this artist is tops :) the album has just been released, and after hopping online to check out the lyrics and listen to some samples, i decided to order this deal from grassroots.com - pretty good value i thought. an autographed copy of the cd, plus a bonus sampler, for under AUD $25 (including shipping). a normal copy from the local koorong (not that they have any stock yet) would cost $29.95.
