Testo Something Tamed Something Wild - Mary Chapin Carpenter
Testo della canzone Something Tamed Something Wild (Mary Chapin Carpenter), tratta dall'album The Things That We Are Made Of
There's a shoebox full of letters
Bound up neatly with some twine
Each one was like a diamond
Now the jewel is lost to time
My reward is in the knowing
That I held it in my hands for a little while
What else is there
But the treasures in your heart?
Something tamed something wild
For every time that I've been foolish
When I'd wish that I'd been wise
The power of regret still gets me
Right between the eyes
And sometimes I want to weep
With nothing, but the tears of a little child
What else is there
But the lessons in your heart?
Something tamed something wild
Here's a map I've memorized of everywhere I've ever been
And the faces of everyone
I've loved and left to try again
I couldn't make out what they were saying
So instead I listened hard to what's inside
What else is there
But the voice inside your heart?
Something tamed something wild
Some nights I'm woken up by something stirring in my chest
It's a feeling I've no name for
It's hard to catch my breath
I'm staring down the great big lonesome
As I'm listening for the dwindling of time
What else is there
But the echoes in your heart?
Something tamed something wild
So the things that matter to me now
Are different from the past
I care less about arriving than just being in the path
Of some light carved out of nothing
The way it feels when the universe has smiled
What else is there
But the beating of your heart?
Something tamed something wild
There's the shoebox full of letters
There's the map I won't forget
The voices and the lessons
And the signals that connect us
Manifested to the spirit
Way deep down where it goes unseen by the eye
What else is there
But the love inside your heart?
To a life like a fireworks to a spark
Over and above you in its arc
Something tamed something wild
