Cedar Rapids 10 Am - Carrie Newcomer

A ceaseless wind blows without mercy

I pull my jacket tighter

These boots are old

But they’re still trustworthy

To take me somewhere higher

Will you come with me to the ridge top?

Lay all your burdens bare

Right there

There

I miss you like a typewriter

Long and far away

I love you like an embered fire

That’s warmer than the blaze

Will you come with me to the ridge top?

Lay all your burdens bare

Right there

There

Take away all the white noise

It getting hard to hear

Souls stretched as thin as tissue paper

Edged with cuts and tears

Will you come with me to the ridge top?

Lay all your burdens bare

Right there

There

So much for all the chips we’ve earned

So much for all the things we’ve learned

So far it is still you and me

You’ve always been a cup of coffee

You’ve always been the cream

You’ve always believed that I was better

Than I could ever dream

Will you come with me to the ridge top?

Lay all your burdens bare

Right there

There
