Carrie Newcomer Cedar Rapids 10 Am
A ceaseless wind blows without mercy
I pull my jacket tighter
These boots are old
But they're still trustworthy
To take me somewhere higher
Will you come with me to the ridge top?
Lay all your burdens bare
Right there
There
I miss you like a typewriter
Long and far away
I love you like an embered fire
That's warmer than the blaze
Will you come with me to the ridge top?
Lay all your burdens bare
Right there
There
Take away all the white noise
It getting hard to hear
Souls stretched as thin as tissue paper
Edged with cuts and tears
Will you come with me to the ridge top?
Lay all your burdens bare
Right there
There
So much for all the chips we've earned
So much for all the things we've learned
So far it is still you and me
You've always been a cup of coffee
You've always been the cream
You've always believed that I was better
Than I could ever dream
Will you come with me to the ridge top?
Lay all your burdens bare
Right there
There
