Mary Chapin Carpenter - Someone Else's Prayer Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Tonight the brightest moon in a hundred years
  • Floods the streets of Rome and I am standing here
  • Wondering where the ghosts of antiquity
  • Hide on nights like this once a century
  • Where do shadows fall when there's only light
  • Why'd you follow me halfway 'round the world tonight
  • What I'd give right now not to even care
  • And then this could be someone else's prayer
  • And on a sleepless night by St. Stephen's Green
  • Oh I turned and tossed with my Irish dreams
  • And when the morning shone through the burned off mist
  • I could sense you still just as close as this
  • Just as close as lips brush against a cheek
  • It's your voice I hear and it's your name I speak
  • But when I look around there's no one there
  • How I wish you were someone else's prayer
  • And now the twilight comes as a silent guest
  • And of all its gifts I like stillness best
  • Except for tin roof rains that commence with spring
  • It's a lullaby when that tin roof sings
  • Now you can look for me on the streets of Rome
  • Or in Dublin town but I've gone back home
  • I would always be just a stranger there
  • And now you're free to be someone else's prayer
