Closer To You - Carrie Newcomer[00:00:00]
Mssouri's tied together like a rolling rag rug[00:00:13]
Bit and pieces and necessity and love[00:00:19]
You can sense the proud and working dirt poor[00:00:25]
Clean and pressed like Sunday shirt but edge worn[00:00:30]
You think by now we'd be a little further on[00:00:36]
For all this tumbling we've been through[00:00:42]
As I'm leaving Missouri into Southern Illinois[00:00:48]
I feel like I'm finally getting closer[00:00:52]
Like I'm finally getting closer to you[00:00:56]
When women look for answer[00:01:12]
Then learn to listen and sit still[00:01:14]
Men think they've got to take some kind of stand[00:01:18]
Yet we're drawn together like magnet to magnet[00:01:24]
Spend years trying to explain again[00:01:29]
You think by now we'd be a little further on[00:01:35]
For all this tumbling we've been through[00:01:41]
I'm explain still I guess I always will be[00:01:47]
Trying to get closer[00:01:53]
Trying to get closer to you[00:01:55]
There's a photo on the table of my family and me[00:02:22]
Taken in some studio in 1963[00:02:28]
The faces are familiar but I can't tell you why[00:02:35]
Most families nod and then they sigh[00:02:40]
When I get healed I'm gonna be a healer[00:02:46]
That's just the nature of those things[00:02:52]
We don't exist in any solid form[00:02:58]
We're always moving and changing[00:03:02]
You think by now we'd be a little further on[00:03:10]
For all this tumbling we've been through[00:03:16]
I'm changing still and I guess I always will be[00:03:21]
Trying to get closer[00:03:27]
Trying to get closer to you[00:03:30]
