Shelter Of Storms
Mary Chapin Carpenter
Watch: New Singing Lesson Videos Can Make Anyone A Great Singer
You always had the gift of speed; You'd disappear without a trace. It all depended on the need, And on the pain you could not face. So you would leave the home you'd found, Pack it up without delay. Cut your losses, blow that town, Tomorrow was another day. All the years and all the miles, They lost track of time. I look back now only once in awhile; My memory just wants to blur the lines. 'Cause you know me, I just can't change. I greet the sun, and find it strange To watch you run For the shelter of storms For the shelter of storms. Now where are you out in the world Searching for a little grace Searching for a precious pearl Wisdom from some future place. You let me go without a wave I noticed that and nothing more I guess I'm going to my grave Wondering what it all was for. All the years and all the miles It's so hard keeping track of time Do you think of me every once in awhile When the rain lets up and the sun can shine Just a little peace and quiet for a change I still greet the sun and find it strange To watch you run For the shelter of storms For the shelter of storms. Go back the years, subtract the miles, And see what's left for you to find All the battles, all the trials, You can't be free till you leave behind Your bitter heart, but you can't change; You curse the sun, and pray for rain, You always run For the shelter of storms, For the shelter of storms.
