TANGLED PATHS

I took a back road this morning

Avoiding traffic into town

Just my luck, there was some old truck

In my lane broken down

There was no way to evade it

I knew that I would stop to help

I was raised, with a sense of grace

That has always served me well

When I finally got pulled over

I heard a curse under his hood

He saw me, said forgive me please

I’d have answered if I could

~~~*Chorus*~~~

I was speechless

Totally blown away

Dumbfounded and astonished

Impressed, stunned, and amazed

I counted my blessings

You all do the math

I was thinking of a way to

Tangle up our paths

~~*~~

He’d been using his t-shirt

To wipe the grease off of his hands

I felt flushed, and I know I blushed

He was such a gorgeous man

He said he’d forgot his cell phone

Then he asked if I would mind

Could he use mine, or get a ride

But all I could do was smile

~~~*Chorus*~~~

I was speechless

Totally blown away

Dumbfounded and astonished

Impressed, stunned, and amazed

I counted my blessings

You all do the math

I was thinking of a way to

Tangle up our paths

~~*~~

~~~*Finale*~~~

Tangled is knotted,

Together, interlaced

I believe, he was meant to be

Right there in that place

Love’s divine, now he’s all mine

Our lives are amassed

Fate and grace figured out a way

To tangle up our paths
