Carrie Newcomer - Writing You a Letter

Текст песни

I’m writing you a letter on hotel letterhead
A record of my restlessness before I go to bed
On the other side of midnight, on the far side of the world
I’m sending out a signal, hoping that you heard
I’m a stranger here, I’m only passing through
But every place I go leaves its own tattoo
That’s how it is, layin' stone on stone
Buildin' little altars by the side of the road
I’m writing you a love note, on the center of my palm
Little circles and symbols for every day I’ve been gone
It’s all miracles and magic, it’s as simple as that
Pulling fishes and loaves alike, rabbits from a hat
I’m a stranger here, I’m only passing through
But every place I go leaves its own tattoo
That’s how it is, layin' stone on stone
Buildin' little altars by the side of the road
All the fussin' and the righteous, the bewildered and confused
All the lost and the lonely are leanin' into you
They’re all leanin' into something that they cannot even name
And nobody gets outta here without forever bein' changed
I’m a stranger here, I’m only passing through
But every place I go leaves its own tattoo
That’s how it is, layin' stone on stone
Buildin' little altars by the side of the road
I’m a stranger here, I’m only passing through
But every place I go leaves its own tattoo
I know how it is, that’s how it goes
Buildin' little altars by the side of the road
And I know how it is
Know how it is
Know how it is
I know how
Know how it is
