-- LYRICS --
Across the railroad tracks, down the gravel road
headlights throw a beam on the way back home
lie down, lie down, listen wide awake
to the trains that roll, to the sound time makes
It passes through the air like a summer storm
catching on my sleeve like a roses thorn
sometimes it whispers, sometimes it roars
flies like the wind, waits by the door
And I know you know and that’s all I need
When the light of day looks like night to me
When you’re far away and I’m all alone
I can’t explain, I know you know
It fills up my chest, it fills up my eyes
like an old glass jar filled with fireflies
sometimes I’m still, sometimes I sigh
sometimes I’m lost and I don’t know why
But I know you know and that’s all I need
When the light of day looks like night to me
When you’re far away and I’m all alone
I can’t explain, I know you know
In the morning light, before the heat sets in
call the dogs to run where the shade has been
across the railroad tracks lay your silver down
find it smooth and flat, stars for your crown
In the blue distance where our lives unfurl
at the edges of the sky, the beauty of the world
I know you know and that’s all I need
When the light of day looks like night to me
When we’re far away and we’re all alone
I can’t explain, I know you know

[@eddavis6860]

Nobody paints a story with lyrics like she does. "It fill my eyes, like an old glass jar, filled with fireflies" OMG magnificent!

[@jofromoz]

This song could be called intuition, I love how she just gets non verbal communication. This is my new favourite song atm. Brilliant.

One of the Greates TROUVADORS ...Ever.

She is a master of song writing that can express in words what many people experience. Lovely!

[@floradora701]

Her music reminds me of what a poem does. It finds the words to express the inexpressible.

[@jon420]

This song and it's lyrics mean more to me than can imagined. I am missing the Twinkle of my eye and the spark that made my heart beat once more. He is the one and one day, I will be back with him again. I feel it, I know it, and yet... I ache for him. My sweet Twinkle, my Winged Wonder, my love...

[@ludwigdietsch9131]

A timelessw song from a timeless Lady.. The older the Better..

[@sharonvyse3686]

"Sound time makes..." beautiful reflections in this song of Ms Carpenter's. 'Heard' that sound such makes yesterday on a very long drive "...Unencumbered 🚗 and alone" but for some Mary Chapin cds. And "the beauty of the 🌎" I could embrace. Thanking ms MCC for all the reminders today and since her very first recordings. Here's to past, present and future releases! 👍 🙏 🇨🇦 🍁

[@ludwigdietsch]

Absolutely classic...🥰

[@tamilapp4944]

Be a few of these of late, (i.e., "Blue Distance"s) but fall not summer. That you for this one especially. Staying connected all through covid19, but for 20 months in. 💜

MCC, You are Such a talented artist, guitarist, human, musician, singer, woman, writer... Your words touch me to the core... Yours are some of the first songs I'm learning to play on my bass guitars! Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful music!

[@venidaisabelle9611]

This song touched my soul, comforting, yet sadness rolling down my cheeks. Thank you MCC!

[@stephaniewilson4195]

This brought tears to my eyes at Wolftrap this summer. We were all the hooligans with Sophie on the lawn. It was such a beautiful rich and generous concert. Thank you so much!!

[@akumwalling]

So sublime, It fills up my chest, it fills up my eyes , every single time i hear this song

[@carolwallace6242]

I get lost in her music...she's just as big as the sky...overwhelming.... sound of her voice stuns sometimes...

[@jimgoodson8318]

Thanks for posting this. We were there, pretty much where your camera was. I kept telling my friend she has no idea what she's in for. This was where she stopped down just to witness the pageantry. Given her company, this was the best concert ever.

[@unnamedband1]

I have sorely missed this voice.

[@cecilyabardoel2993]

I'm in pain. My child is lost to me. I have to do something I abhor. I have to have to force her to seek help where none is wanted. I feel like I am betraying her. But Mary Chapin Carpenter speaks to my soul. She is an oasis for a troubled soul.

[@SantiagoGarcia-od5gr]

Y sigo escuchando esta preciosidad de trabajo musical de Chapin Caroenter.

[@SantiagoGarcia-od5gr]

Voz, sentimiento y hermosa música, la constante de esta gran cantautora norteamericana.

[@SantiagoGarcia-od5gr]

No me canso de deleitarme con esta preciosura de tema de la formidable Mary Chapin Carpenter.

[@SantiagoGarcia-od5gr]

Cuatro personas que carecen de sensibilidad las que han dado dislike a esta obra de arte de la música.

[@SantiagoGarcia-od5gr]

Algo sublime, esta preciosa tonada. Voz, inspiración y sentimiento desborda esta formidable melodía. Que grande la Chapin Carpenter, de lo mejor para escuchar, sus canciones nos transportan a otras dimensiones mas etéreas.

[@SantiagoGarcia-od5gr]

Esta, a mi juicio y gusto, podría ser la canción más bella de esta genial cantautora. Qué grande es Mary Chapin Carpenter.
