Nothing But The Truth - Rosanne Cash

We’ve loved each other longer now than the falling trees

That stood up through revolution and grew out of our need

But we’re called to be much stronger now on days as bright as these

When nothing shades our eyes against this darkest mysteries

Time is a line we stumble and crawl

A perilous dream where both of us fall

Time is a shadow we venture upon

An ocean together we cross like a pond

On our way

Under the false ceiling of all we said and did

We stood away both hearts and hope like they were safe as

Thief may live among us, put tumbles every

But no wheels finding motion take shelter from the road

Time is a line we stumble and crawl

A perilous dream where both of us fall

Time is a lantern held out in the rain

A river that rose like a runaway train

On our way

Now our story wanders a long way from the page

We kiss behind the curtain that falls on every stage

Memories won’t be reconciled with promises past due

But still I promise everything and nothing but the truth

Time is a line we stumble and crawl

A perilous dream where both of us fall

Time is a mirror made deeper by light

With every good morning

Good morning

Good night
