The Meadow Songtext
von Mary Gauthier

Highway 90 Westbound
In the falling dark
Rolling past cornfields
Catfish farms and swamps
A Pascagoula sunset
A longing breaking through
Don′t know why I'm always leaving
I don′t know why I left you

Won't you meet me in the meadow?
We can look up at the stars
Lean into the wind
Dream again
Find out who we are
Won't you meet me in the meadow?
No more alone
We could lay down in the grass
′Til the feelings pass, then go home


I have so much to tell you
I am ready to come clean
I am so tired of running
From things I cannot leave
You and me and Mississippi
Battled, beautiful, scarred
In need of forgiveness
And the grace of God

Won′t you meet me in the meadow?
We can look up at the stars
Lean into the wind
Dream again
Find out who we are
Won't you meet me in the meadow?
No more alone
We could lay down in the grass
′Til the feelings pass, then go home

Let's throw a blanket in the grass
′Til the feelings pass, then go home
