    -- LYRICS --
    Across the railroad tracks, down the gravel road
    headlights throw a beam on the way back home
    lie down, lie down, listen wide awake
    to the trains that roll, to the sound time makes
    It passes through the air like a summer storm
    catching on my sleeve like a roses thorn
    sometimes it whispers, sometimes it roars
    flies like the wind, waits by the door
    And I know you know and that’s all I need
    When the light of day looks like night to me
    When you’re far away and I’m all alone
    I can’t explain, I know you know
    It fills up my chest, it fills up my eyes
    like an old glass jar filled with fireflies
    sometimes I’m still, sometimes I sigh
    sometimes I’m lost and I don’t know why
    But I know you know and that’s all I need
    When the light of day looks like night to me
    When you’re far away and I’m all alone
    I can’t explain, I know you know
    In the morning light, before the heat sets in
    call the dogs to run where the shade has been
    across the railroad tracks lay your silver down
    find it smooth and flat, stars for your crown
    In the blue distance where our lives unfurl
    at the edges of the sky, the beauty of the world
    I know you know and that’s all I need
    When the light of day looks like night to me
    When we’re far away and we’re all alone
    I can’t explain, I know you know

    Thanks for posting this. We were there, pretty much where your camera was. I kept telling my friend she has no idea what she's in for. This was where she stopped down just to witness the pageantry. Given her company, this was the best concert ever.

    "Sound time makes..." beautiful reflections in this song of Ms Carpenter's. 'Heard' that sound such makes yesterday on a very long drive "...Unencumbered 🚗 and alone" but for some Mary Chapin cds. And "the beauty of the 🌎" I could embrace. Thanking ms MCC for all the reminders today and since her very first recordings. Here's to past, present and future releases! 👍 🙏 🇨🇦 🍁

    This song and it's lyrics mean more to me than can imagined. I am missing the Twinkle of my eye and the spark that made my heart beat once more. He is the one and one day, I will be back with him again. I feel it, I know it, and yet...
    I ache for him. My sweet Twinkle, my Winged Wonder, my love...

      I'm in pain. My child is lost to me. I have to do something I abhor. I have to have to force her to seek help where none is wanted. I feel like I am betraying her. But Mary Chapin Carpenter speaks to my soul. She is an oasis for a troubled soul.

    Esta joyita de tema, bien podría ser, para mi gusto, y en verdad lo es, una de las canciones más bellas que jamás haya escuchado en mi ya, larga vida.
    Músicalmente es una maravilla y la letra, una de las mejores, refinada y elevada poesía.
