Jericho - Mary Chapin Carpenter

You can’t see me yet

Seeing takes a long, long time

From the outside in

Measuring each shift and sigh

But as you let your eyes adjust

To the darkness deep within

Sifting throughthe ash and dust

We are the places that we’ve been

You can’t hear me yet

Listening takes a long, long time

And I’ve so much to tell

But words die on these lips of mine

But in the stillness you may sense

Every thing I long to say

Unraveling like golden threads

The walls will all come down this way

You don’t know me yet

Knowing takes a long, long time

And time is all we have

Never traveling in straight lines

So memorize each turn and twist

Just be careful as you go

For if love is a labyrinth

Then my heart is Jericho
