Mary Chapin Carpenter - Sometimes Just The Sky lyrics

Noises in my head And endless [?] rain on me Like a storm Like hurricane Losses piled up like wood steps Stories high Feels like I've been framed I have no alibi Used to be that all I needed Was what I didn't possess Hurting makes you who you end up as More or less Every choice I made that worked out Was just a lucky guess Just a lucky guess Adventures half discarded Half held onto now Dancing on the ledge To the edge somehow Well I can still pick out the faces Though I forget the names In places that I've gone But the urge remains To throw caution to the wind Or is it to the stars To hold out my open hands To spite my empty heart To wear my heart down on my sleeve Just like a battle scar These are battle scars There's comfort in a late night kitchen's radio And in a letter sent Lists of what you know When you don't know anything You make another one It's good to write it down Starting with the sun And sometimes church bells, trees, and seasons Marking times gone by Sometimes starlings swell Some tidal moons And filled up eyes Sometimes everything at once But sometimes just the sky Sometimes just the sky
