Take More Time, Cover Less Ground versuri

Versuri Carrie Newcomer – Take More Time, Cover Less Ground lyrics

I’m an old wind-up clock in an ancient tower
I’m a lone table lamp and the appointed hour
I’m what’s never been named and is nameless still
I’m the echo that comes back, from the bottom of the well

Let me rest in the arms of these tangled roots
I’ve been wearing my longing like a backpack and boots
Let me notice the wheels, how they rattle and turn
How my life’s filled with kindness that I didn’t earn

Time to pick it all up and to lay it back down
Time to know what I seek has already been found
Time to listen to what never made a sound
Time to take more time and cover less ground

I’m surprised how these days so quickly pass
Not half-empty or full, just a big ol’ glass
Some answers don’t come, but it’s enough to ask
Deep calls to deep, and vast calls to vast

Time to pick it all up and to lay it back down
Time to know what I seek has already been found
Time to listen to what never made a sound
Time to take more time and cover less ground

When the light lets loose and the stars take a bow
I’m grateful we’re all safe and here for now
And that love keeps us tethered somewhere, somehow

Now in the season of come on home
Slowing my life to the speed of my soul
Now when the reason’s been never so clear
At the end of a hard, but holy year

Time to pick it all up and to lay it back down
Time to know what I seek has already been found
Time to listen to what never made a sound
Time to take more time and cover less ground
Time to take more time and cover less ground
