Al Stewart - Mixed Blessing lyrics

She never learned her lesson She had to have it all It was a real mixed blessing I don't believe she saw She liked to keep them guessing Sometime later on She'd gather her possessions and be gone When the night comes following From the clear blue sky You can see her running Don't you wonder why When the light goes fading From her clear blue eyes Only in the darkest places will she feel at home Tonight From time to time I'd see her It wasn't like before No matter what you gave her She always wanted more Her life was getting fractured She didn't seem to care Wherever there was action she'd be there When the night comes following From the clear blue sky You can see her running Don't you wonder why When the light goes fading From her clear blue eyes Only in the darkest places will she be at home Tonight She never learned her lesson She had to take that fall It was a real mixed blessing After all
