	When you know that the only thing you can do is not enough, you do it anyway
	Story Behind the Song On one level this song is about the aftermath of an auto accident. On another it reaches into the heartbreak of not being able to fix the things that you want most badly to able to fix. Lyrics Little bits of red and yellow glisten in the whirling lights Scream and torqueing of the metal Tow trucks disengage the fighters Hint of diesel tinged with rubber waltzes ‘round the aftermath Sweeping up the glass Hear my broom hush on the pavement Soothe and smooth away the fear Hide the evidence of anguish Wipe the shards away like tears I push the pain against the curbside feel the bristles grab and rasp Sweeping up the glass I’m not the one dialing the telephone I won’t sit by the bed or set the bone There’s a thousand things that I can’t restore But I can make this place look like it looked before Someone’s crying with the siren Car doors shut and engines grieve Flares abandoned on the highway beckon as the last ones leave My blue jeans sparkle in the moonlight an accidental autograph Sweeping up the glass
