Mary Chapin Carpenter - Beautiful Racket Lyrics
So your day begins like thisWondering what might have beenOld regrets and chances missedBorne away on some lambent windThe job's ok, so it doesn't inspireThoughts of leaving it all behingYou used to have dreams of setttin the world on fireAll you want now is peace of mindChorus:And a beautiful racket, it whispers and roarsThe bitter and sweet, between the truces and the warsThe noice and the quiet, the courage and the fearAnd all of the wisdom between a smile and a tearYou do your dreaming in traffic jamsYou do your running in shopping mallsYou do your breating the best you canBetween car pools and cell phone callsWho cares, you'll never live in ParisSo what, you'll never travel by LearHow do some of us learn what mattersWhile others never get to hearAnd a beautiful racket, it whispers and roarsThe bitter and sweet, between the truces and the warsThe noice and the quiet, the courage and the fearAnd all of the wisdom between a smile and a tearHold on, hold onSo your day will end like thisTurning slowly down your streetSilent worlds of kitchens litFront yards full of fallen leavesTrees are bare, the garden's doneAnother season gone to earthBefore you blink a new one comesTo remind you what the old one's worthAnd a beautiful racket, it whispers and roarsThe bitter and sweet, between the truces and the warsThe noice and the quiet, the courage and the fearAnd all of the wisdom between a smile and a tearSuch a beautiful racket...such a beautiful racket...hold on...such a beautiful racket...hold on...
