Between Here and Gone Lyrics by Mary Chapin Carpenter

Between Here and Gone

2004

[Verse 1]
Tonight the moon came up, it was nearly full
Way down here on earth, I could feel its pull
The weight of gravity or just the lure of light
Made me want to leave my only home tonight
[Chorus]
Now I'm just wondering how we know where we belong
Is it in a photograph or a dashboard poet's song?
Will I have missed my chance to right some ancient wrong
Should I find myself between here and gone?
[Verse 2]
Now I could grab my keys, peel out in my truck
With every saint on board bringing me their luck
An' I could drive too fast like a midnight thief
As if there was a way to outrun the grief
[Chorus]
Yes I'm just wondering how we know where we belong
In a song that's left behind, in a dream I couldn't wake from
Could I have felt the brush of a soul that's passing on
Somewhere in between here and gone
[Bridge]
Up above me, wayward angels
A blur of wings and grace
One for courage, one for safety
One for just in case
[Verse 3]
I thought a light went out but now the candle shines
I thought my tears wouldn't stop then I dried my eyes
And after all of this, the truth that holds me here
Is that this emptiness is something not to fear
[Chorus]
Yes I'm just wondering how we know where we belong
Is it in the arc of the moon leaving shadows on the lawn
In the path of fireflies and a single bird at dawn
Singing in between here and gone
