Carpenter, Mary Chapin - Map Of My Heart Lyrics
The map of my heart looks a lot like yours
from the one way streets to the old detours
to the dark dead ends with their missing signs
the sun and the moon and the roads that wind
like the stories we tell tracing the routes
The map of my heart is torn at the corners
from ignoring the warnings, disobeying the orders
I’ve been lost in a crowd, found in solitary
I learned how to travel with just what I could carry
towards the vast unseen and the great unknown
the map of a heart is all that we own
Leaving safety to chance and reason behind
x marks every spot I thought I’d lost my mind
And I can’t stop trying to hold in my hands
that moment I could feel my heart expand
with more love than I thought could exist in the world
the hollows were gone, the emptiness filled
a life transformed down to the bone
this map of my heart is all that I own
Do we ever stop longing and looking for home
do we ever stop feeling apart and alone
do we ever stop dreaming of where we belong
This map of my heart looks a lot like yours
This map of my heart looks a lot like yours

Carpenter, Mary Chapin Map Of My Heart Comments
You ROCK girl!
She's touring in August / Sept. If you have any chance to see her, do it. She played most of the new album, and closed the show rockin' the house down with some old songs. She gives it her all and the band she's touring with is phenomenal. God bless MCC
brilliant!
I would like to think the edge of that map might lead to me, but no one would ever try to navigate all those potholes. So I got a copy of the new CD and fell in love all over again.
