Mary Chapin Carpenter - The Swords We Carried[00:00:01]

Back when I believed in luck[00:00:13]

And stones and crosses[00:00:16]

I''d put a coin found on the street[00:00:19]

Towards cosmic losses[00:00:22]

And passing graveyards in a car[00:00:26]

Tracing every falling star[00:00:29]

Luck was never very far from childhood causes[00:00:32]

And pennies kissed with wishes arced into the fountains[00:00:38]

And time was said to heal all pain[00:00:45]

And hope move mountains[00:00:51]

And all that could befall a heart[00:00:55]

Or break this perfect life apart[00:00:58]

The swords we carried could not do a thing about them[00:01:00]

Away I am going' away I am gone[00:01:05]

Ghosts and angels are but memories and visions[00:01:21]

And revenants are out there taking up positions[00:01:27]

But back when I believed in you[00:01:34]

You''d raise the sun and set the moon[00:01:37]

How could I help but love you holy as religion[00:01:40]

Away you are going' away you are gone[00:01:48]

But back when I believed in luck and words as spoken[00:02:03]

I found a lie could break and split the world clean open[00:02:09]

And grief became my company[00:02:16]

Pain so deep I could not breathe[00:02:19]

All betrayal is like dying in slow motion[00:02:23]

Is it luck that makes us shout or makes us whisper[00:02:55]

Is it luck that makes us wise or turns us bitter[00:03:01]

With our maps that point true north[00:03:07]

With our vows we sally forth[00:03:11]

The swords we carried can''t protect us from each other[00:03:15]

Away we are going[00:03:21]

Away we are gone[00:03:28]

Away we are going[00:03:36]

Away we are gone[00:03:41]
