Текст песни A Tissue Or Two - Carrie Newcomer

My mother believed
Among many things
Baking soda and water
Could calm a bee sting
Crackers and soup
Could heal fever and flu
Cure the common cold
Or some heartbreaking news

But mostly I recall
Her hand on my head
The smell of Vapor Rub
As she sat on the bed
Love holds steady
And still rings true
In a world where we all
Could use a tissue or two

The rain fell hard
As we sat in that dive
You passed me a beer
And you told me you'd drive
Endings are tough
But enough is enough
If I needed some help
You'd stop by with your truck

But mostly I recall
Your hand on mine
Saying it's gonna be alright
But it's gonna take time
Yeah love holds steady
And still rings true
In a world where we all
Could use a tissue or two

You never know when some flour and water
Or just a little sweetness is all the doctor ordered
You never know how long a kindness might last
Like a bell in the distance or an echo from the past

That's why I have crackers
And soup on the shelf
Why I pack up a basket
And I bring it myself
There's power in what passes
For what's humble and small
Always shifting the balance
In spite of it all

But mostly I recall
The counting of sheep
And the whole world went still
As I drifted to sleep
Love holds steady
And still rings true
In a world where we all
Could use a tissue or two
Yeah, love holds steady
And still rings true
In a world where we all
Could use a tissue or two
