Soul Companion Lyrics - Ashes & Roses - Mary Chapin Carpenter

(feat. James Taylor) 

All of our dreams are laid out and measured 

Arrows and pins and a rainbow of threads 

Like hope on a string, sewn into the linings 

For the courage to face the unknown ahead 

My soul companion 

Out in the world somewhere 

My soul companion 

I'll meet you there

I'm packing my compass, trusted and tested 

My dog-eared maps to study and fold 

Into a pocket, I'm traveling light now 

All that we have is all that we hold 

My soul companion 

In my heart you are 

My soul companion 

Just like a star 

There are no borders, there are no boundaries 

There are no fences up around me 

But I get quiet and I get lonely 

Just like everyone 

These are the old roads, these are the stations 

I look for my ride, you wait for your train 

These are the chances, a life's incantations 

These are the places that don't know our names

My soul companion 

Love finds its own way in 

My soul companion 

Now let us begin 

My soul companion 

Out in the world somewhere 

My soul companion 

I'll meet you there
