Visitation

Carrie Newcomer

(Verse)

It's hard letting go, more than I thought

And if the truth be told, I'm a pillar soft

I'm a pillar soft

For ever every time that it took

Another bleeding glance, another long last look

(Chorus)

How can the mind transcend, how can the heart describe

We light a candle everyday

I'll ask the question even when the wine seems hollow

And breathe the silence and that usually follows

(Verse)

I am the cup, mended and washed, I am the container for all that I've lost

And all that I've lost and gathered again

Is only what hangs in the air when the music ends

(Chorus)

How can the mind transcend, how can the heart describe

We light a candle everyday

I'll ask the question even when the wine seems hollow

And breathe the silence and that usually follows

(Bridge)

And now and then all visitations

That have a ? for hard but true

How many times I had to ask

The thing that I already knew

He said my horizon is getting closer to me

I need you to look beyond and tell me what you see

Here's what I see, but I need hardly know

Out on the curve of the earth is a hope that won't let go

(Chorus)

How can the mind transcend, how can the heart describe?

We light a candle everyday

I'll ask the question even when the wine seems hollow

And breathe the silence and that usually follows
