mary chapin carpenter - all the sad songs lyrics

there’s a can in the street
kicked to the curb
and the last bridge i crossed suddenly burned
daylight’s all gone
and the night just won’t end
and i’m thinking of leaving again

could you love me like home, like hills that slumber?
could you love me like dreams, like stars without number?
could you love me like morning mist off of a road?
could you love me like the shadows of evening?

in a car going fast
like it needs to be gone
i’ve got the window rolled down, radio on
a couple of hours
and miles ago
i turned into someone i didn’t know

could you love me like stones, like wonder, like rain?
could you love me like ghosts, like echoes, and then
could you love me like hope loves forgiveness and grace?
could you love me enough not to lose me?

all the sad songs
that i ever heard
i never believed a single word
that was before
when i was with you
and now i know every sad word is true
could you love me like traces and places in time?
could you love me like bells, like roses that climb?
could you love me like a breath catching hard on your name?
could you love me enough to believe in?
in the cool, quiet shadows of evening
and all that we hear is our breathing
