You Are Everyone - Dar Williams

I went and found a house in the northern woods

And I was doing fine until the night

But then I couldn’t take the sun in Los Angeles

Everything was blazing much too bright

I know that I should sit out on a darkened pier

Feeling the life that is not lived by chance

And yes I know it’s just blousy old Hollywood

Jostling for one more song and dance

But you are everyone, you are everyone

I ever trusted, that never made a fool out of me

(You are everyone, you are everyone)

Early again today I rushed myself around

I thought that I would miss the morning train

Angry that I had lain in my bed too long

Watching all the patterns of the rain

So many trips I took to seek somebody out

Gaining some ground but maybe losing more

So many pages scrawled to justify myself

I don’t know who I did that for

But you are everyone, you are everyone

I ever trusted, that never made a fool out of me

(You are everyone, you are everyone)

You took a couple pictures of me once

On some winter night long ago

Simply of me, you might not call them beautiful

I take them everywhere I go But you are everyone, you are everyone

I ever trusted, that never made a fool out of me

(You are everyone, you are everyone)

I ever trusted
