    Every time I hear this song it elicits very strong emotions- sadness, regret, sorrow, but hope as well. She taps into the shared experience like no other songwriter.

    Mary Chapin Carpenter can fill your ears with her lovey sound...fill your heart with the dimensions of life...fill your mind with the thoughts: past, present, future...the serenity of her soul is passed to you as you contemplate her lyrics...she can calm your heart or fill your eyes with involuntary moisture...a profound poet with a guitar...she is a gift from God...an island for the weary of the music industry.

    I found this page by simply doing a Google Search using "whatever happened to Mary Chapin Carpenter?" I have most of her old CDs and have always loved her lyrics, perspective, and voice. This is a beautiful song, beautifully delivered. I'm going to try to stay in touch with her and her music much like I keep in touch with John Fogerty and his music and that is via TH-cam. Thank the lucky stars for TH-cam, ya know? As an aside, wouldn't a pairing of Mary Chapin Carpenter and John Fogerty on an album(or even just a song or two) sound great?

    Mary Chapin is one of the best songwriters of her generation.As another songwriter I ascribe to two women. Joni Mitchel and Mary Chapin Carpenter. They are genius in spinning a story, taking you on a stroll, in a break up, in a lonely place..storms and rain and all things movement. They are beyond what most of us can birth.....This song is haunting and I thank her so much for writing it.

    Noises in my head
    And endless should-haves rain
    On me like a storm
    Like a hurricane
    Losses piled up like wood
    Stacked stories high
    Feels like I've been framed
    I have no alibi
    Used to be that all I needed
    Was what I didn't possess
    Yearning makes you who you
    End up as, more or less
    Whatever choice I made
    That worked out
    Was just a lucky guess
    Just a lucky guess
    Adventures half-discarded
    Half held onto now
    dancing on the ledge
    To the edge somehow
    I can still pick out the faces
    Though I forget the names
    And places that I've gone
    But the urge remains
    To throw caution to the wind
    Or is it to the stars?
    To hold out my open hands
    Despite my empty arms
    To wear my heart down on my sleeve
    Just like a battle scar
    These are battle scars
    There's comfort in a late night
    Kitchen's radio
    And in a letter sent
    Lists of what you know
    When you don't know anything
    You make another one
    It's good to write it down
    Starting with the sun
    And sometimes church bells
    Trees and seasons
    Marking times gone by
    Sometimes starlings swell
    Some tidal moons
    And filled up eyes
    Sometimes everything at once
    But sometimes just the sky
    Sometimes just the sky

    Now, THIS makes me humble and, upon all, grateful to all the people who, unlike me, kept faith in her and by doing so, helped to this very place of eternal beauty that never will be just the sky.
