lyrics

Always

Music and Lyrics by Thom Carter. Copyright Verlaine Records 2010.

Always, the voice of youth,
Is travelling in my thoughts now,
And over ‘cross to you.

Always, like the bird in flight,
Like your hand in mine,
Always out of time.

Always, between the two,
Paths that I can’t choose,
Though neither leads to you.

Always, a light will burn,
To guide you home,
If you want it to.

It’s late here,
And there’s no phone here,
To call you from,
When I need someone.

**

And oh, well isn’t it like that always?
Oh, sister, sister, please -
Well, isn’t it like that now?
But always, always, always,
Seems so hard,
Seems so hard,
To let you go,
To let you go.

**

So we walked in that market town,
In all of the rooms in the museum,
And you bought me a book of Psalms,
To take with me everywhere.

Now, I have no interest in,
The politics of faith,
And I do not believe,
That religion is the only way.

But I love that book,
It’s words are songs to me,
So I will not be pushed,
To define these private things.

Always, that book will be,
Part of my history,
With you.

And someday, I will be free,
Clean of all these things,
That tie me here to you.

So I hear now, still,
That distant sound -
That distant youth.

And it will always be,
A hand that I can’t see,
That lends its strength to me,

And it will always be,
A hand that I can’t see,
That lends it’s strength to me.
