Every time I hear this song it elicits very strong emotions- sadness, regret, sorrow, but hope as well. She taps into the shared experience like no other songwriter.

Mary Chapin Carpenter can fill your ears with her lovey sound...fill your heart with the dimensions of life...fill your mind with the thoughts: past, present, future...the serenity of her soul is passed to you as you contemplate her lyrics...she can calm your heart or fill your eyes with involuntary moisture...a profound poet with a guitar...she is a gift from God...an island for the weary of the music industry.

I found this page by simply doing a Google Search using "whatever happened to Mary Chapin Carpenter?" I have most of her old CDs and have always loved her lyrics, perspective, and voice. This is a beautiful song, beautifully delivered. I'm going to try to stay in touch with her and her music much like I keep in touch with John Fogerty and his music and that is via KZfaq. Thank the lucky stars for KZfaq, ya know? As an aside, wouldn't a pairing of Mary Chapin Carpenter and John Fogerty on an album(or even just a song or two) sound great?

Mary Chapin is one of the best songwriters of her generation.As another songwriter I ascribe to two women. Joni Mitchel and Mary Chapin Carpenter. They are genius in spinning a story, taking you on a stroll, in a break up, in a lonely place..storms and rain and all things movement. They are beyond what most of us can birth.....This song is haunting and I thank her so much for writing it.

I first heard mcc somewhen around 1989. In no time, I had banned her from my musical planet, obviously not knowing what I was doing. And now, just by chance, I stumbled over her latter work. Now, THIS makes me humble and, upon all, grateful to all the people who, unlike me, kept faith in her and by doing so, helped to this very place of eternal beauty that never will be just the sky. I want to say endless tnx to Mrs. Chapin Carpenter. Springsteen saved my youth, she is right now saving my middle years.

Noises in my head And endless should-haves rain On me like a storm Like a hurricane Losses piled up like wood Stacked stories high Feels like I've been framed I have no alibi Used to be that all I needed Was what I didn't possess Yearning makes you who you End up as, more or less Whatever choice I made That worked out Was just a lucky guess Just a lucky guess Adventures half-discarded Half held onto now dancing on the ledge To the edge somehow I can still pick out the faces Though I forget the names And places that I've gone But the urge remains To throw caution to the wind Or is it to the stars? To hold out my open hands Despite my empty arms To wear my heart down on my sleeve Just like a battle scar These are battle scars There's comfort in a late night Kitchen's radio And in a letter sent Lists of what you know When you don't know anything You make another one It's good to write it down Starting with the sun And sometimes church bells Trees and seasons Marking times gone by Sometimes starlings swell Some tidal moons And filled up eyes Sometimes everything at once But sometimes just the sky Sometimes just the sky
