  • I watched him circle 'round the block
    Finally stopped at mine
    Took a while before he knocked
    Like all he had was time
    Excuse me, ma'am, maybe you can help
    The directions weren't so clear
    I'm looking for Olivia Zand
    They said I might find her here

    Well, I looked real hard and asked him
    What she's got, he's looking for?

    Said there's somethin' I think she'd want to know
    And I let him in the door
    It's not like me to trust so quick
    Caught me by surprise
    But somethin' about him gave me ease
    Right there in his eyes

    And just like that, your life can change
    If I hadn't looked away
    My boy might still be with me now
    He'd be twenty-five today
    No knife can carve away the stain
    No drink can drown regret
    They say Jesus brings you peace and grace
    Well, he ain't found me yet

    Na, na, na, na, na
    Na, na, na, na, na
    Na, na, na, na, na, na

    Sat down and took a deeper breath
    And looked right in my face
    I heard about the son you lost
    How you left without a trace
    I've spent years just trying to find you
    So I could finally let you know
    It was your son's heart that saved me
    And a life you gave us both

    And just like that your life can change
    Look what the angels send
    I lay my head upon his chest
    And I was with my boy again
    Well, I spent so long in darkness
    I never thought the night would end
    But somehow, grace has found me
    And I had to let him in

    Na, na, na, na, na
    Na, na, na, na, na
    Na, na, na, na, na, na

    Na, na, na, na, na
    Na, na, na, na, na
    Na, na, na

    Na, na, na, na, na
    Na, na, na, na, na
    Na, na, na, na, na, na

    Na, na, na, na, na
    Na, na, na, na, na
    Na, na, na, na, na, na Writer/s: Bonnie Raitt
