Songtext Another home Mary Chapin Carpenter

Another home

There's another home somewhere
There's another glimpse of sky
There's another place unlearned
And a face not memorized

There's another quilt of green
Where the trees throw down their shade
There's another way to lean
Into the wind unafraid

There's another life out there
Beyond your quiet room
Use dead reckoning
The sky, the stars and the moon

There's another storm to chase
There's another bridge to burn
There's nothing perfect here
Another lesson to learn

There were days I gave into losing
Empty spaces of my own choosing
There were nights I forgot to hold on
So I let go, I had to let go

There's another home somewhere
That I close my eyes to see
I will find you there
You will know it's me

By my shield and sword
By my soldier's heart
We made it through the war
We made another start
Just beyond the trees
Not so far I swear
There's another turn that leads
Towards another home somewhere
