Deep Deep Down Heart Lyrics - The Things That We Are Made Of - Mary Chapin Carpenter

How do you know what you know 

Because you've seen it with your eyes? 

How do you know where to go, 

How to identify your guides? 

How do you see what was next 

In your palm or a show of cards? 

How do you learn to detect 

The outlines of a scar? 

Now the sky holds the night, 

As the trees hold the shade 

And the road holds the map 

Of every journey I've made 

And the clouds hold the sigh 

Of the wind and the rain 

In my deep, deep down heart 

My deep, deep down heart

Now these wheels go so fast 

There is nothing here to hold; 

I keep pushing back the past 

So that the future can unfold 

I guess the best of my mistakes 

Show me all that I don't know 

But this strange kind of ache 

Never seems to let me go 

And the sky holds the night, 

And the trees hold the shade, 

And the stars hold the light 

That's travelled all this way 

But who holds my hand 

So I am not afraid 

In my deep, deep down heart 

My deep, deep down heart? 

Photos 

I thought I heard my name 

Walking late tonight 

From the porch after the rain 

In this rowing down the light 

There was no one standing there 

Beyond the lantern's cast, 

But just voices in the air 

But just questions that ask, 

How the sky holds the night? 

How the trees hold the shade? 

How your sleep holds your dreams 

Till they shake you awake? 

And how love holds you up 

And then to chooses to break 

Your deep, deep down heart 

Your deep, deep down heart?
