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

I remember driving down the rutted roads late at night 

Following the summer moon bright as any pair of headlights 

I felt the air on my face and the night pressed inside my palm 

a moment captured in a place this memory stays strong 

Oh my darling oh my love 

Oh my darling oh my love 

Oh my darling oh my love 

The things that we are made of 

And I remember feeling I'm alive and in no need of saviors 

If the past's another country I'm at the border with my papers 

Where is your heart if not inside you where is home or are you lost 

where is love if not beside you I had no answers but they let me cross

Oh my darling oh my love 

Oh my darling oh my love 

Oh my darling oh my love 

The things that we are made of 

Like the silence of my shadow when the twilight world is calling 

The loneliness that knows me by the cadence of my walking 

And the scar upon my elbow and the sound of my own breathing 

My reflection in a window and the way I'm always leaving 

And I remember wishing for some other life than this one I've claimed 

How often have I been convinced how eagerly I'd make that trade 

Then all at once I see your face and the summer night and the open door 

dimmer now but not erased and I know what these are for
