Indigo Girls - Come A Long Way lyrics

I've come a long way I was a show on ice Dazzling and brittle But subject to the sun And then one day I went little by little Back to the water The place where I'd come from And I went under Like stones tied in a sack And I got emptied And started my way back My name It's got your name on it My shame It's got your name on it My home It's got your name on it Everything I own And all my schemes drowned at the seams Have left me fine in my own skin I've come a long way Just to begin I've come a long way Under the cover of darkness Trusting a stranger A boatman at the shore The scourge of hope The ugly face of danger The keepers of the keys Had me down on my knees In front of the gilded doors And in a world where every ax was poised to grind To find my peace I only held up what was already mine My name It's got your name on it My shame It's got your name on it My home It's got your name on it Everything I own And all my swords have turned to words that blow like poems in the wind I've come a long way I used to be twisted When you called it an opiate A simple way to cope And yet I think you shouldn't skip if you haven't worn the shoes They start out tight And then they hurt your tired feet at night But then they give a little day by day And then before you know it You look back and you've come a long way It's got your name on it My shame It's got your name on it My home It's got your name on it Everything I own You call my name My name You call my name My shame You call my name My home Everything I own You call my name If it's got my name, it's got your name on it Everything I own has got your name on it When I was trying to cross the river You were at the river getting me across and now Everything, everything I own Has got your name on it Oh everything I've got your name on it
