The Dreaming Road - Mary Chapin Carpenter[00:00:00]

The stars are out tonight the breeze is warm and light[00:00:20]

As I'm walking right back to you[00:00:25]

Along the dreaming road the only way to go[00:00:30]

When I'm travelling by our code that north is true[00:00:35]

Once upon a time these same bright stars did shine[00:00:41]

Down the center line leading here[00:00:47]

Nearly thirty years ago now the map is stained and old[00:00:52]

But on the dreaming road the coast is clear[00:00:58]

I loved you more than life and I guess that's why I died[00:01:03]

When you would not love me back I couldn't survive[00:01:14]

And so the girl I was turned into someone else[00:01:25]

Keeping to myself and from the light[00:01:30]

I wasn't odd or strange just quietly rearranged[00:01:35]

Sometimes the biggest change stays out of sight[00:01:41]

So without plot or clue I ran away from you[00:01:57]

I was twenty-two and drunk in Amsterdam[00:02:02]

Got robbed in Paris France got home on one last chance[00:02:07]

And without a backward glance I began again[00:02:13]

And the days just kept on rolling and I just kept on going[00:02:18]

Without a thought of ever slowing down[00:02:24]

I made this long road mine but it was not the dreaming kind[00:02:29]

Too many lost souls trying to get found[00:02:35]

But beneath this ancient sky one night we did collide[00:02:40]

And the hole I thought was scaled opened wide[00:02:51]

I tried so hard again not to fall back in[00:03:02]

But you had me then by the throat[00:03:08]

And a strange futility came washing over me[00:03:12]

Almost peacefully I felt the rope[00:03:18]

A million miles goes by in the blink of an eye[00:03:54]

And so I cannot try to slow time down[00:03:59]

And years are made of sand slipping through my hands[00:04:04]

Even faster than the speed of sound[00:04:10]

The stars are out tonight the breeze is soft and light[00:04:15]

As I'm walking right back to you[00:04:21]

With nothing left to hide the tears have all been cried[00:04:26]

And the girl who died is walking too[00:04:32]

Down the dreaming road where the light is always gold[00:04:37]

The air is never cold and always fine[00:04:43]

And north is always true and you are always you[00:04:48]

And I'm that girl you knew once upon a time[00:04:54]
