Lyrics The Age Of Miracles - Mary Chapin Carpenter
The
past
comes
upon
you
like
smoke
on
the
air
You
can
smell
it
and
find
yourself
gone
To
a
place
that
you
lived
without
worry
or
care
Isn't
that
where
we
all
once
came
from
Green
leaves
and
tall
trees
and
stars
overhead
And
the
sound
of
the
world
through
the
screen
But
now
you
sleep
with
the
covers
pulled
over
your
head
And
you
never
remember
to
dream
You
think
you're
just
standing
still
One
day
you'll
get
up
that
hill
In
the
age
of
miracles
Is
one
on
the
way
Greenland
is
melting,
the
west
is
on
fire
But
don't
ever
stop
praying
for
rain
It's
a
curious
place
between
hope
and
desire
Different
gods,
but
the
prayer
is
the
same
And
thousand-year
storms
seem
to
form
on
a
breeze
Drowning
all
living
things
in
their
paths
And
when
a
small
southern
town
finds
a
rope
in
a
tree
We're
all
once
again
trapped
in
the
past
It
seems
we're
just
standing
still
One
day
we'll
get
up
that
hill
In
the
age
of
miracles
Is
one
on
the
way
We
can
fly
through
space
with
the
greatest
of
ease
We
can
land
in
the
dust
of
the
moon
We
can
transform
our
lives
with
the
tap
of
the
keys
Still
we
can't
shake
this
feeling
of
doom
But
I
woke
to
find
monks
pouring
into
the
streets
Marching
thousands
strong
into
the
rain
Now
if
courage
comes
dressed
in
red
robes
and
bare
feet
I
will
never
be
fearful
again
If
I'm
just
standing
still
One
day
I'll
get
up
that
hill
In
the
age
of
miracles,
is
one
on
the
way
Seems
we're
just
standing
still
One
day
we'll
ride
up
that
hill
In
the
age
of
miracles
There's
one
on
the
way
There's
one
on
the
way
There's
one
on
the
way
There's
one
on
the
way
There's
one
on
the
way
There's
one
on
the
way
