Darrell Scott - Where The Spirit Meets The Bone lyrics
[Darrell Scott - Where The Spirit Meets The Bone lyrics]
Last night I asked to see you
Needing to apologize
And the woundings there were deep
I could see it in your eyes
And we spoke of softer days since
The hard ones we had known
And a healing peace was slow but sure in
Coming- where the spirit meets the bone
And I reached for my compassion and
I held you through the tears
And a river did flow freely that
Had blocked us all those years
And we looked with eyes forgiven at
The wild seeds we had sown
Some had grown to love while we had just
Grown weary- where the spirit meets the bone
Oh, the nights being lost in
The smell of your hair
Oh, the lines we had crossed, heart-to heart
Everywhere from a bed in Amsterdam to
A boat in Windermere
In silence or in song or
The whisper in your ear
And it comes as no surprise
We could love again, again
Both co-stars in this movie but
We cannot change the end
No, the director's up in heaven and
He never checks his phone
We're frozen in this scene called
"Someone's Leaving" -where the spirit
Meets the bone oh, the times being lost in
The touch of your skin
Oh, the lines we have crossed I
Would cross them all again
From a cool lake in New Hampshire
To a field in Tennessee
You always made it known- you had
Saved the best for me
Now, in this clear, ironic moment
It is not lost on me
We're both locked in separate airplanes
Six miles above the sea
You on your way to California
And me to parts unknown
Both looking for a love
That's ours for keeping
Where the spirit meets the bone
Needing to apologize
And the woundings there were deep
I could see it in your eyes
And we spoke of softer days since
The hard ones we had known
And a healing peace was slow but sure in
Coming- where the spirit meets the bone
And I reached for my compassion and
I held you through the tears
And a river did flow freely that
Had blocked us all those years
And we looked with eyes forgiven at
The wild seeds we had sown
Some had grown to love while we had just
Grown weary- where the spirit meets the bone
Oh, the nights being lost in
The smell of your hair
Oh, the lines we had crossed, heart-to heart
Everywhere from a bed in Amsterdam to
A boat in Windermere
In silence or in song or
The whisper in your ear
And it comes as no surprise
We could love again, again
Both co-stars in this movie but
We cannot change the end
No, the director's up in heaven and
He never checks his phone
We're frozen in this scene called
"Someone's Leaving" -where the spirit
Meets the bone oh, the times being lost in
The touch of your skin
Oh, the lines we have crossed I
Would cross them all again
From a cool lake in New Hampshire
To a field in Tennessee
You always made it known- you had
Saved the best for me
Now, in this clear, ironic moment
It is not lost on me
We're both locked in separate airplanes
Six miles above the sea
You on your way to California
And me to parts unknown
Both looking for a love
That's ours for keeping
Where the spirit meets the bone
