Subject: Lyr Add: JUBILEE (Mary Chapin Carpenter) From: Peace Date: 07 Aug 06 - 05:26 PM This is a well-written, beautiful song by Carpenter. I can tell by the way you're walking That you don't want company So I'll let you alone and I'll let you walk on And in your own good time you'll be Back where the sun can find you Under the wise wishing tree And with all of them made we'll lie under the shade And call it a jubilee And I can tell by the way you're talking That the past isn't letting you go There's only so long you can take it all on And then the wrong's gotta be on its own And when you're ready to leave it behind you You'll look back and all that you'll see Is the wreckage and rust that you left in the dust On your way to the jubilee And I can tell by the way you're listening That you're still expecting to hear Your name being called like a summons to all Who have failed to account for their doubts and their fears They can't add up to much without you And so if it were just up to me I'd take hold of your hand, saying come hear the band Play your song at the jubilee And I can tell by the way you're searching For something you can't even name That you haven't been able to come to the table Simply glad that you came When you feel like this try to imagine That we're all like frail boats on the sea Just scanning the night for that great guiding light Announcing the jubilee And I can tell by the way you're standing With your eyes filling with tears That it's habit alone keeps you turning for home Even though your home is right here Where the people who love you are gathered Under the wise wishing tree May we all be considered then straight on delivered Down to the jubilee Because the people who love you are waiting And they'll wait just as long as need be When we look back and say those were halcyon days We're talking about jubilee |

Subject: RE: Lyr Add: 'Jubilee' by Mary Chapin Carpenter From: Peace Date: 07 Aug 06 - 05:40 PM We see eye-to-eye 100% on that one, LH. I hope the mp3 s are free and that they work. I was unable to hear 'em because of a web-sense thing that is on during the day. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: 'Jubilee' by Mary Chapin Carpenter From: Peace Date: 07 Aug 06 - 06:25 PM SORRY. Just accessed the mp3 stuff and it's not her stuff. My apologies. However, there are scads of lyrics to her songs, so that'll have to do for now. |
