Between the Dirt and the Stars

Try to conjure up a night Of jessamine upon the air I'm seventeen and in a car Ready to ride anywhere The summer night sticks to my skin, and Beer's gone to my head My arm hangs out the window and I can't hear what you just said Over the radio Wild, wild horses Everything you'll ever know Is in the choruses Everything that made you whole Everything that broke your heart Whatever called you by your soul And piece by piece took you apart Every spark you ever chased All the faith love robbed you of Every light the dark erased Every cause that gave you up Turn on the radio Wild, wild horses Everywhere we'd ever go Is in the choruses Standing on the porch tonight All I hear is a distant car Watching the fading light Between the dirt and the stars Between the rough and smooth and The easy and the hard The lonely sound of loneliness that's Shaped just like my heart . . . Years will pass before we turn To face the place where we come from Years will pass before we learn What time denies to everyone If we're lucky ghosts and prayers Are company, not enemies I time travel straight back there You were singing back to me Along with the radio Wild, wild horses Everything you'll ever know Is in the choruses Over the radio Wild, wild horses Everywhere we'll ever go Is in the choruses
