Mary Chapin Carpenter piosenki

We were born during the boom times, played house down in the bomb shelter Suffered through the wonder years, and silence at the dinner hour But once upon a summertime, out behind the old garage We were buzzing on midnight, Luckys and Rolling Rock Thinking we w...

Heros and heroines are scarcer than they've ever been So much more to lose than win the distance never greater Way back when you made history by flying planes across the sea Embarking on your odyssey You put away the danger Heaven bless the one who flys A pion...

I found myself between two places Neither of them home I could not recognize the faces I've never felt so alone So Alone I found myself between two choices To settle or to run All my life I've heard the voices This time mine's the only one The only one I wan...

Years ago in my hometown I was a headstrong girl and a heartstrong one We'd ride all summer with the top rolled down through the sleepy streets of that Jersey town Now I knew girls when I was sixteen Could make a smart boy stutter, turn a nice boy mean And the...

When chimney smoke hangs still and low Across the stubbled fields of snow And angry skies reach down and seize The sorry blackened bones of trees In the dead of winter when the silent snowbirds come You're my sweet maple sugar, honey, hot buttered rum When dr...

I grew up in a house like this, we knew the groan of every stair All the walls seemed to listen in, all the years seemed to take up air When you dreamed it was of the wind blowing cold and hard In those dreams you thought you lived in a house of cards I grew...

Mama's got her babies Sleeping in a grocery cart Daddy's eyes are hazy Wondering where they are Waiting for the buses Waiting on some Providence Once we get to Houston Maybe it will all make sense Praying to the Father And calling for the cavalry Look at all...

Well that's a real nice jacket son It looks like it cost you too And that car you're driving Hey does that belong to you Well you don't look familiar Are you new in town Here's a local girl Who wants to show you around How do Where'd you get that accent son I...

I'm a town in Carolina, I'm a detour on a ride For aphone call and a soda, I'm a blur from the driver's side I'm the last gas for an hour if you're going twenty-five I am Texaco and tobacco, I am dust you leave behind I am peaches in September, and corn from...

I can see it now, walking by myself And suddenly you're there walking with somebody else I can see it now, what's right up ahead A scene I've played a thousand times over in my head I can see it now, it isn't just a dream Can't shake myself awake, can't fall...

Well I woke up this morning stumbled out of my rack I opened up the paper to the page in the back It only took a minute for my finger to find My daily dose of destiny, under my sign My eyes just about popped out of my head It said "the stars are stacked agains...

I have a need For solitude I'll never be Safe in crowded rooms I like the sound Of silence coming on I come around When everyone has gone I have a need For cool, verdant spaces Beneath the trees Secret empty places Nobody knows So no one will intrude I have a...

Who knows where faith comes from But last night I put my ring back on 'Cause here with you is where I belong Last night I put my ring back on No life's without uncertainty We both know how hard this love can be It's just this hurting inside of me that threw i...

I took a walk in the rain one day on the wrong side of the tracks I stood on the rails till I saw that train Just to see how my heart would react Now some people say that you shouldn't tempt fate And for them I would not disagree But I never learned nothing fr...

I tried going west where the sky meets the sun Where the edge of the world’s always been As far from this place as a girl gets to run When her reasons to stay have worn thin Out there the days were so bright and so blue Yet I missed all my thunder and rain Th...

I want to be your girlfriend, I want to be your new love I want to be the one that you can't get enough of I want to be your girlfriend, nobody else's but yours I want to be the one who you'll do anything for Never thought I'd ever wind up in a daze like this...

I was a bird that loved to fly Catching the wind as it went south And I could touch every inch of sky And the sweetest songs trilled from my mouth But I'm no bird anyone can see And there's no wind waiting for me It's just a dream, it's just a dream To...

What do you get when you fall in love? A guy with a pin to burst your bubble That's what you get for all your trouble. I'll never fall in love again. I'll never fall in love again. What do you get when you kiss a guy? You get enough germs to catch pneum...

Last night I dreamed of icy cliffs Standing on the precipice I leaned to see just where the edge would take me The wind came up, I closed my eyes I heard a shout and to my surprise A hand reached out and pulled me back to safety What's a hand, what's a dream...
