Iceland Lyrics - Age Of Miracles - Mary Chapin Carpenter

Last night I dreamed of icy cliffs 

Standing on the precipice 

I leaned to see just where the edge would take me 

The wind came up, I closed my eyes 

I heard a shout and to my surprise 

A hand reached out and pulled me back to safety 

What's a hand, what's a dream 

Who can say what it means 

When everything that you know 

Can disappear 

Don't look back, the spirits cry 

Just be glad to be alive 

Everything that you love is right here 

Everything that you love:

Life feels smaller than this stone 

Worn smooth inside my palm 

I keep it like a charm inside my pocket 

I keep thinking I'll flame out 

Leave no one with a doubt 

That I was meant to fire like a rocket 

What's a stone, what's a flame 

There's always someone else to blame 

When everything that you know disappears 

Don't look back the spirits cry 

Just be glad to be alive 

Everything that you need is right here 

Everything that you need:.

When I'm left here on the shore 

The ancient basalt moor 

Will beckon me to sleep among its heather 

Who's not tempted to fold in 

So that sleep may come again 

Where the fire and the ice hide their treasure 

Everything that you love 

Everything that you need
