A Quiet Line (feat. Mary Chapin Carpenter)

A Quiet Line - Lucy Wainwright Roche/Mary Chapin Carpenter

What can I say

Did I steal you away

From a life that you thought you would lead

All days can be strange

But then August is dangerous

Handing your heart to the heat

A quiet line

I hope you can love me a long time

I hope you can see me through

I find the light in your eyes to be bright

It started out West

In some mountain state test

That I carried back east in my bag

And then on to you

And the next thing I knew

My city had more than it had

"One day

Nothing without Providence "

They'd sing

I hope you can love me a long way

From home

Because that's where I'll be

And here's to downtown

When there's no one around

In the saddest of bars on the block

We're changing the game

Never the same

You can't argue with this little clock

And you said you were fine

But the ship is betrayed

By it's ensign

A gooave in the wind to be seen

Place me here in this minute

Of "let's see"

I hope you can love who I might be

I hope that the summer will last

A quiet line

I hope you can love me a long time

I hope you can see me through

I find the light in your eyes to be bright

The light in your eyes to be bright

The light in your eyes to be bright
