And a love that, when it was right could always see me through
Oh, lookin' at me now you might not know it but I've had my moments
With that homeless shadow tagging along
Under the E. Street Bridge, followed me on to it
Standing with him there I felt ashamed
Moments when I knew I did what I thought I couldn't do
Moments when I knew I did what I thought I couldn't do
I went out halfway across
I've had my moments, days in the sun
I've had my moments, days in the sun
That old man just kept hanging around
When a young man almost ended it
Lookin' at me now you might not know it but I've had my moments
Moments when I knew I did what I thought I couldn't do”
That old man tells his story one more time, he says
Lookin' at me, lookin' down
And memories like a coat so warm, a cold wind can't get through
Lookin' at me now you might not know it but I've had my moments
Well, I stood there tryin' to find my nerve
“Lookin' at me now you might not know it
“Like that cool night on the E. Street Bridge
He took it lookin' just a bit ashamed
So I dug for some change, wouldn't need it anyway
“I've had my moments, days in the sun
I know somewhere 'round a trashcan fire tonight
Like that plane ride, coming home from the war
For a woman who became my wife
Moments, I was second to none
I said, “You know, I haven't always been this way”
Would care at all, miss me when I'm gone
Like the day I walked away from the wine
Wondering if a single soul on Earth
Moments I was second to none
I was right there, wasn't scared a bit and I helped to pull him through”
Moments, I was second to none
He said, “You know, I haven't always been this way”
That summer my son was born
I think he recognized that look in my eyes
