Elysium Lyrics - Carpenter Mary-chapin

I don't really know how I got here this time 

I was only just following orders 

Listening to the voice in my mind 

Saying steer clear of margins and borders 

So I wasn't thinking of where we would go 

On a could afternoon through the mountains we drove 

Up a few hairpin turns and then spread out below 

The valley appeared with the sun 

Like Elysium 

 

I looked out the window and stared at the fields 

Where the blue sky and green were colliding 

I looked back at you and I knew we were sealed 

By a fate that has ways of providing 

Yes sometimes you get there in spite of the route Losing track of your life and what it's about 

The road seems to know when to straighten right out 

The closer you come 

To Elysium 

 

They say there's a place for those who are good 

With it's pearly gates swinging wide open 

The rest of us here are just knocking on wood 

Quietly, piously hoping 

I could wonder if all of it led me to you 

I could show you the arrows and circles I drew 

I didn't have a map, it's the best I could do 

On the fly and on the run 

To dreams that were tethered like kites to the ground 

To the bridges I burned, to then turning around 

It was here in your heart I was finally found 

And the last battle won for Elysium
