Visitation Songtext
von Carrie Newcomer

It′s hard letting go more than I thought
And if the truth be told I'm a pillar salt
I′m a pillar of salt for every time that it took
Another bleeding glance another long last look

How can the mind transcend how can the heart describe
We light a candle everyday
I ask the question even when the why seems hollow
And breathe the silence in that usually follows

I am the cup mended and washed
I am the true container for all that I've lost
And all that I've lost and gathered again
Is only what hangs in the air when the music ends


How can the mind transcend how can the heart describe
We light a candle everyday
I ask the question even when the why seems hollow
And breathe the silence in that usually follows

And now and then are visitations
To have and hold for hard but true
How many times I had to ask
The thing that I already knew

He said my horizon is getting closer to me
I need you to look beyond and tell me what you see
Here′s what I see but I need what you know
Out on the curve of the earth is a hope that won′t let go

How can the mind transcend how can the heart describe
We light a candle everyday
I ask the question even when the why seems hollow
And breathe the silence in that usually follows
