Sometimes Just The Sky Lyrics - Mary Chapin Carpenter

Noises in my head 

And endless should-haves rain 

On me like a storm 

Like a hurricane 

Losses piled up like wood 

Stacked stories high 

Feels like I've been framed 

I have no alibi 

Used to be that all I needed 

Was what I didn't possess 

Yearning makes you who you 

End up as, more or less 

Whatever choice I made 

That worked out 

Was just a lucky guess 

Just a lucky guess

Adventures half-discarded 

Half held onto now 

dancing on the ledge 

To the edge somehow 

I can still pick out the faces 

Though I forget the names 

And places that I've gone 

But the urge remains 

To throw caution to the wind 

Or is it to the stars? 

To hold out my open hands 

Despite my empty arms 

To wear my heart down on my sleeve 

Just like a battle scar 

These are battle scars 

Photos 

There's comfort in a late night 

Kitchen's radio 

And in a letter sent 

Lists of what you know 

When you don't know anything 

You make another one 

It's good to write it down 

Starting with the sun 

And sometimes church bells 

Trees and seasons 

Marking times gone by 

Sometimes starlings swell 

Some tidal moons 

And filled up eyes 

Sometimes everything at once 

But sometimes just the sky 

Sometimes just the sky
