Mary Chapin Carpenter - Learning The World[00:00:01]
Grief rides quietly on the passenger side[00:00:14]
Unwanted company on a long long drive[00:00:20]
It turns down the quiet songs and turns up the din[00:00:27]
It goes where you go it's been where you've been[00:00:34]
And pushing your empty cart mile after mile[00:00:48]
Leaves you weeping in the wilderness[00:00:55]
Of the supermarket aisle[00:00:59]
And in the late night kitchen light it sits in a chair[00:01:02]
Watching you pretend that it's not really there[00:01:08]
But it is so it is and you ask[00:01:18]
Are you predator or friend[00:01:21]
The future or the past [00:01:25]
It hands you your overcoat and opens the door[00:01:36]
You are learning the world again just as before[00:01:42]
But the first time was childhood[00:01:49]
And now you are grown[00:01:51]
Broken wide open cut to the bone[00:01:56]
And all that you used to know is of no use at all[00:02:10]
The same eyes you've always had have you walking into walls[00:02:16]
And the same heart can't understand[00:02:23]
Why it's so hard to feel[00:02:26]
What used to be true[00:02:30]
What's now so unreal[00:02:34]
But it is so it is and you say[00:02:37]
I wish I were the wind so that I could blow away[00:02:45]
Grief sits silently on the edge of your bed[00:03:28]
It's closing your eyes it's stroking your head[00:03:35]
The dear old companion is taking up air[00:03:41]
Watching you pretend that it's not really there[00:03:50]
