You Are Everyone Lyrics - Promised Land - Dar Williams

I went and found a house in the northern woods 

And I was doing fine until the night 

But then I couldn't take the sun in Los Angeles 

Everything was blazing much too bright 

I know that I should sit out on a darkened pier 

Feeling the life that is not lived by chance 

And yes I know it's just blousy old Hollywood 

Jostling for one more song and dance 

But you are everyone, you are everyone 

I ever trusted, that never made a fool out of me 

(You are everyone, you are everyone) 

Early again today I rushed myself around 

I thought that I would miss the morning train 

Angry that I had lain in my bed too long 

Watching all the patterns of the rain 

So many trips I took to seek somebody out 

Gaining some ground but maybe losing more 

So many pages scrawled to justify myself 

I don't know who I did that for 

But you are everyone, you are everyone 

I ever trusted, that never made a fool out of me 

(You are everyone, you are everyone) 

You took a couple pictures of me once 

On some winter night long ago 

Simply of me, you might not call them beautiful 

I take them everywhere I go 

But you are everyone, you are everyone 

I ever trusted, that never made a fool out of me 

(You are everyone, you are everyone) 

I ever trusted
