Farther Along and Further In Lyrics by Mary Chapin Carpenter

The Dirt and the Stars

2020

[Verse 1]
Farther along and further in
I've never gone, I've never been
But I feel a shift, a turning in
I've never felt before
[Verse 2]
Farther along and further in
There's a crack in the armor, an opening
My heart seeing out and my eyes see in
But they've never seen before
[Chorus]
What I chased that couldn't be caught
Wars I lost I shouldn't have fought
Everything that can't be taught
[Verse 3]
Farther along and further in
I think I'm finally listening
To some kind of spirit murmuring
I've never heard before
[Chorus]
Hold the world and trust the wait
The road back home is never straight
Bang the drum and keep the faith
[Chorus]
Time, memory, love and grace
The kindred eyes in a strangers face
Lead down to the deeper place
[Verse 4]
Farther along and further in
We're atoms and stardust circling
Catching the light then we're gone again
Farther along and further in
