Mary Chapin Carpenter - Elysium Lyrics
I don't really know how I got here this timeI was only just following ordersListening to the voice in my mindSaying steer clear of margins and bordersSo I wasn't thinking of where we would goOn a could afternoon through the mountains we droveUp a few hairpin turns and then spread out belowThe valley appeared with the sunLike ElysiumI looked out the window and stared at the fieldsWhere the blue sky and green were collidingI looked back at you and I knew we were sealedBy a fate that has ways of providingYes sometimes you get there in spite of the route Losing track of your life and what it's aboutThe road seems to know when to straighten right outThe closer you comeTo ElysiumThey say there's a place for those who are goodWith it's pearly gates swinging wide openThe rest of us here are just knocking on woodQuietly, piously hopingI could wonder if all of it led me to youI could show you the arrows and circles I drewI didn't have a map, it's the best I could doOn the fly and on the runTo dreams that were tethered like kites to the groundTo the bridges I burned, to then turning aroundIt was here in your heart I was finally found And the last battle won for Elysium
