Between Here And Gone

Lyrics

Tonight the moon came up, it was nearly full
 Way down here on earth, I could feel it's pull
 The weight of gravity, or just the lure of light
 Made me want to leave my only home tonight
 I'm just wondering how we know where we belong
 Is it in a photograph, or a dashboard's poet's song
 Will I have missed my chance to right some ancient wrong
 Should I find myself between here and gone
 Now I could grab my keys, peel out in my truck
 With every saint on board bringing me their luck
 I could drive too fast like a midnight's thief
 As if there was a way to outrun the grave
 Now I'm just wondering how we know where we belong
 In a song that's left behind, in a dream I couldn't wake from
 Could I have felt the brush of a soul that's passing on
 Somewhere in between here and gone
 Up above me, wayward angels, a blur of wings and grace
 One for courage, one for safety, one for just in case
 I thought a light went out, but now a candle shines
 I thought my tears wouldn't stop hen I dried my eyes
 And after all of this, the truth that holds me here
 Is that this emptiness is something not to fear
 Yeah I'll keep wondering how we know where we belong
 After all the journeys made and the journeys yet to come
 When I feel like giving up instead of going on
 Somewhere in between...
 Yeah, I'm just wondering how we know where we belong
 Is it in the arc of the moon leaving shadows on the lawn
 In the path of fireflies and a single bird at dawn
 Singing in between here and gone
