Mary Chapin Carpenter - Between Here And Gone

Текст песни

Tonight the moon came up, it was nearly full
Way down here on earth, I could feel it’s pull
The weight of gravity or just the lure of light
Made me want to leave my only home tonight
Now I’m just wondering how we know where we belong
Is it in a photograph or a dashboard poet’s song?
Will I have missed my chance to right some ancient wrong
Should I find myself between here and gone?
Now I could grab my keys, peel out in my truck
With every saint on board bringing me their luck
An' I could drive too fast like a midnight thief
As if there was a way to outrun the grief
Now I’m just wondering how we know where we belong
Is it in a photograph or a dashboard poet’s song?
Will I have missed my chance to right some ancient wrong
Should I find myself between here and gone?
Up above me, wayward angels
A blur of wings and grace
One for courage, one for safety
One for just in case
I thought a light went out but now the candle shines
I thought my tears wouldn’t stop then I dried my eyes
And after all of this, the truth that holds me here
Is that this emptiness is something not to fear
Now I’m just wondering how we know where we belong
Is it in a photograph or a dashboard poet’s song?
Will I have missed my chance to right some ancient wrong
Should I find myself between here and gone?
Now I’m just wondering how we know where we belong
Is it in a photograph or a dashboard poet’s song?
Will I have missed my chance to right some ancient wrong
Should I find myself between here and gone?
