Matt Woods - Corner of the World lyrics
[Matt Woods - Corner of the World lyrics]
Judas from the redbud and Jesus on the hill
Now I hear that Dogwoods don't
Grow the same way
She kept a picture of him framed
In the kitchen by the door
So she could see faith on the
Wall right where he hanged
Forever battle-ready from the altar
To the ground
You know the only honest enemy is time
Thinking on it now I wish I’d told her then
If you can't walk on the water
Drink the wine
And find a corner of the
World that makes you happy
Find a corner of the world to call your own
Don't give up all your light in
The shadows of the fight
And wind up in the dark and all alone
Most of my whole life I’ve been
Told the end is nigh
And there ain't much more than
Pray that we can do
Some signed up to fight while
Others worked the farm
Then they shipped off to Japan in '42
There will come a day, they say
When every mother's son
Will have to pick a side
And steady off to war
If he returns he'll know the truth
Only flags and faces change
And sing the same song that
His father sang before
So find a corner of the
World that makes you happy
Find a corner of the world to call your own
Don't give up all your light in
The shadows of the fight
And wind up in the dark and all alone
To your corner of the world, take your lover
Someone who can feel your very soul
Wrap up both yourselves in one another
Find a corner of the world to make your home
Find a corner of the world to make your home
The sky's been falling all this time
Cry heralds of demise
Fall into each other's arms and trust
The sun will also rise
Find a corner of the world
That makes you happy
Find a corner of the world to call your own
Don’t give up all your light in
The shadows of the fight
And wind up in the dark and all alone
To your corner of the world, take your lover
Someone who can feel your very soul
Wrap up both yourselves in one another
Find a corner of the world to make your home
Find a corner of the world to make your home
Now I hear that Dogwoods don't
Grow the same way
She kept a picture of him framed
In the kitchen by the door
So she could see faith on the
Wall right where he hanged
Forever battle-ready from the altar
To the ground
You know the only honest enemy is time
Thinking on it now I wish I’d told her then
If you can't walk on the water
Drink the wine
And find a corner of the
World that makes you happy
Find a corner of the world to call your own
Don't give up all your light in
The shadows of the fight
And wind up in the dark and all alone
Most of my whole life I’ve been
Told the end is nigh
And there ain't much more than
Pray that we can do
Some signed up to fight while

Then they shipped off to Japan in '42
There will come a day, they say

Find a corner of the world to call your own
Don't give up all your light in

And wind up in the dark and all alone
To your corner of the world, take your lover
Someone who can feel your very soul
Wrap up both yourselves in one another
Find a corner of the world to make your home
Find a corner of the world to make your home

Wrap up both yourselves in one another
Find a corner of the world to make your home
Find a corner of the world to make your home
