Lyrics Visitation - Carrie Newcomer

Visitation

It’s hard letting go, more than I thought
And if the truth be told, I’m a pillar soft
I’m a pillar soft
For ever every time that it took
Another bleeding glance, another long last look
How can the mind transcend, how can the heart describe
We light a candle everyday
I’ll ask the question even when the wine seems hollow
And breathe the silence and that usually follows
I am the cup, mended and washed, I am the container for all that I’ve lost
And all that I’ve lost and gathered again
Is only what hangs in the air when the music ends
How can the mind transcend, how can the heart describe
We light a candle everyday
I’ll ask the question even when the wine seems hollow
And breathe the silence and that usually follows
And now and then all visitations
That have a?
for hard but true
How many times I had to ask
The thing that I already knew
He said my horizon is getting closer to me
I need you to look beyond and tell me what you see
Here’s what I see, but I need hardly know
Out on the curve of the earth is a hope that won’t let go
How can the mind transcend, how can the heart describe?
We light a candle everyday
I’ll ask the question even when the wine seems hollow
And breathe the silence and that usually follows
