Promised Land Lyrics by Rains Draper

Common Ground

2017

Verse 1:
I came wandering to you like a lost man
Who’s been in the wilderness for seventeen years
And you welcomed me like the promised land
Soothing all my fears
Chorus:
And I know it’s hard knowin’
I’ll be gone in a couple weeks’ time
And I hope I can get through it
Oh, get there and be just fine
And I know it’s hard knowin’
I’ll be gone in a couple weeks’ time
And I hope I can get through it
Oh, get there and be just fine
Verse 2:
Well these days seem to be speeding up
As my time here draws to a close
I see now all that I haven’t done
But isn’t that just how it goes?
Chorus:
And I know it’s hard knowin’
I’ll be gone in a couple weeks’ time
And I hope I can get through it
Oh, get there and be just fine
And I know it’s hard knowin’
I’ll be gone in a couple weeks’ time
And I hope I can get through it
Oh, get there and be just fine
Bridge:
But can’t I just have one more week?
One more trip to Montsweag Creek?
One more walk in the wilderness?
My, oh my does the time fly by
Till you wake up when the end’s in sight
And realize all the time you’ve missed
But can’t I just have one more week?
One more trip to Montsweag Creek?
One more walk in the wilderness?
My, oh my does the time fly by
Till you wake up when the end’s in sight
And realize all the time you’ve missed
Chorus:
And I know it’s hard knowin’
I’ll be gone in a couple weeks’ time
And I hope I can get through it
Oh, get there and be just fine
And I know it’s hard knowin’
I’ll be gone in a couple weeks’ time
And I hope I can get through it
Oh, get there and be just fine
And I know it’s hard knowin’
I’ll be gone in a couple weeks’ time
And I hope I can get through it
Oh, get there and be just fine
