Mary Chapin Carpenter - Iceland Lyrics
Last night I dreamed of icy cliffsStanding on the precipiceI leaned to see just where the edge would take meThe wind came up, I closed my eyesI heard a shout and to my surpriseA hand reached out and pulled me back to safetyWhat's a hand, what's a dreamWho can say what it meansWhen everything that you knowCan disappearDon't look back, the spirits cryJust be glad to be aliveEverything that you love is right hereEverything that you love:Life feels smaller than this stoneWorn smooth inside my palmI keep it like a charm inside my pocketI keep thinking I'll flame outLeave no one with a doubtThat I was meant to fire like a rocketWhat's a stone, what's a flameThere's always someone else to blameWhen everything that you know disappearsDon't look back the spirits cryJust be glad to be aliveEverything that you need is right hereEverything that you need:.When I'm left here on the shoreThe ancient basalt moorWill beckon me to sleep among its heatherWho's not tempted to fold inSo that sleep may come againWhere the fire and the ice hide their treasureEverything that you loveEverything that you need
