Zephyr - Mary Chapin Carpenter

I don’t know nothing, nothing today

Whether to leave or to stay

Because underneath sorrow, underneath fear

There’s nothing that’s keeping me here

Because I’m a zephyr on the inside

And it’s a hard ride when you feel yourself tied down

Hide-and-earth bound

But there’s no tether, on a zephyr

I tried to be constant just like a star

I tried to be steady and yar

But the storms keep breaking over my head

I’m aching for blue skies instead

All of the wings I’ve ridden back home to you

All the things I’ve given I’ve wanted to

All that you see has always belonged to you

Except for the wind:

Forever and after, that’s if we’re charmed

You’ve got to hold on with more than these arms

Because love is all there is and time is just sand

And I might just slip through your hands

And it’s a hard ride when you feel yourself tied down

Hide-and-earth bound but there’s no tether

On a zephyr
