Lately I've been walking all alone
through the wind and through the rain
Been walking through the streets
and finding sweet relief in knowing
that it won't be long.
Lately it's occurred to me that I've had enough of that
and lately I've been satisfied by simple things
like breathing in and breathing out

Never again, not in this life
will I be taken twice
Never again, never on your life
Will I make that same mistake
I can't make it twice

Lately it's occurred to me
exactly what went wrong
I realized I compromised
I sacrificed far too much for far too long

Never again, not in this life
Will I be taken twice
Never again, not on your life
Will I make that same mistake
I can't make it twice
Starting out from here today
Swear I'm gonna change my ways
Once mistaken in this life
but never twice

Such a talent. Her music is timeless. Hard to believe this album is over 20 years old.

Will always love her… Her voice i has ripened with age and she gets better and better.. I’ve kind of grown up with her.

Don’t you hate it when you hear a song on RP, like it and then look it up and realize it’s been in your album collection for years?

I'm very fortunate that I really love Natalie Merchant's signing. Clearly she's polarizing and many don't. I'm just lucky, I guess.

Maybe RP should have a new fund raiser to get Natalie some diction lessons (and, while they're at it, some talent)

I'm not sure there's enough money in the world to accomplish that but one can always hope.

I recognize that the girl can sing, but she\'s so boring... :roll:

I just heard this song, and even if I allready known Natalie, I must say that this is a real pice of Art! I love her songs and I wanna thank RP to make me know her!
