The Blue Distance Lyrics - The Things That We Are Made Of - Mary Chapin Carpenter

Across the railroad tracks, down the gravel road 

headlights throw a beam on the way back home 

lie down, lie down, listen wide awake 

to the trains that roll, to the sound time makes 

It passes through the air like a summer storm 

catching on my sleeve like a roses thorn 

sometimes it whispers, sometimes it roars 

flies like the wind, waits by the door 

And I know you know and that's all I need 

When the light of day looks like night to me 

When you're far away and I'm all alone 

I can't explain, I know you know

It fills up my chest, it fills up my eyes 

like an old glass jar filled with fireflies 

sometimes I'm still, sometimes I sigh 

sometimes I'm lost and I don't know why 

But I know you know and that's all I need 

When the light of day looks like night to me 

When you're far away and I'm all alone 

I can't explain, I know you know 

In the morning light, before the heat sets in 

call the dogs to run where the shade has been 

across the railroad tracks lay your silver down 

find it smooth and flat, stars for your crown 

Photos 

In the blue distance where our lives unfurl 

at the edges of the sky, the beauty of the world 

I know you know and that's all I need 

When the light of day looks like night to me 

When we're far away and we're all alone 

I can't explain, I know you know
