Vienna Teng - Shasta (Carrie’s Song) lyrics
[Vienna Teng - Shasta Carrie’s Song lyrics]
So far, so good you're coming to the bend at
The end of the road you put a hand to the
Belly that's foreign more
With every day like an oversize load
And you're thinking about clouds
The color of fire
And the scent of an orange peel
The way Mount Shasta explodes
Into windshield view
And your hands steady on the wheel
So far, so good
Coffee motel coffee diner coffee, go on
Styrofoam is drying like the tears
That once did flow
Starting 10 o'clock and ending at dawn
And you can't go back but you're going back
And you don't know what you'll say
You've got half-formed sentences
Explanations for a life half-broken away
And they just may
They'll take you in their arms and
Then take out their knives
So you drive on thinking
So far, so good but, you can't go on much
Longer like this you know
You're all alone in this world
No that's not true
The nice Christian lady told you so
She was handing out pamphlets
By the clinic door
Saying, "Jesus knows what you've been through
Take the Savior into your heart my child
There's love waiting for the both of you"
Well, you don't believe but
You have to believe
It's still crumpled there in your back seat
Were you the hero or the worst
Kind of coward back there
Putting pavement back under your feet
Couldn't stand the heat
Couldn't stand the thought of ghosts
With a negative age turn the page oK
So far so good
You try to sing along to the radio
But, it's not your language, not your song
It's from some other time ago
And you're thinking about how
Someone died that day
The you that was so carefully planned
But then again maybe this life
Is like a sleeping mountain
Waking up to shape the land
Calm, calm, let it come
Let it come back to you
Calm, calm, breathe on out
You know you know what to do
The end of the road you put a hand to the
Belly that's foreign more
With every day like an oversize load
And you're thinking about clouds
The color of fire
And the scent of an orange peel
The way Mount Shasta explodes
Into windshield view
And your hands steady on the wheel
So far, so good
Coffee motel coffee diner coffee, go on
Styrofoam is drying like the tears
That once did flow
Starting 10 o'clock and ending at dawn
And you can't go back but you're going back
And you don't know what you'll say
You've got half-formed sentences
Explanations for a life half-broken away
And they just may
They'll take you in their arms and
Then take out their knives
So you drive on thinking
So far, so good but, you can't go on much
Longer like this you know
You're all alone in this world
No that's not true
The nice Christian lady told you so

Take the Savior into your heart my child

But then again maybe this life
Is like a sleeping mountain
Waking up to shape the land
Calm, calm, let it come
Let it come back to you
Calm, calm, breathe on out
You know you know what to do
