《Chasing What’s Already Gone》歌词

[00:00:00] Mary Chapin Carpenter - Chasing Whats Already Gone

[00:00:26] There's a big white house on a leafy street

[00:00:31] On a summer's day in 1963

[00:00:38] A station wagon's parked in the drive

[00:00:44] With dents in the fender and wood on the side

[00:00:50] There's kids and dogs in instamatic hues

[00:00:53] Squinting hard in the sun

[00:00:57] Not just yet but one day too

[00:00:59] They'll be chasing what's already gone

[00:01:15] You grow up tall and you grow up tough

[00:01:21] Try to never admit not feeling good enough

[00:01:27] They tell you find your passion then you'll find your way

[00:01:33] I'm just trying to make it unscathed through every day

[00:01:39] And it seems to happen nearly over night

[00:01:42] Life shows you who you've become

[00:01:45] When there's no more mystery in the fading light

[00:01:49] You're just chasing what's already gone

[00:02:05] Like the line that spells the far horizon

[00:02:12] Moving with you as fast as you can run

[00:02:17] Half your life you pay it no attention

[00:02:21] The rest you can't stop wondering

[00:02:25] What you should have done

[00:02:27] Instead of chasing what's already gone

[00:03:20] I saw my father in a dream last night

[00:03:25] He was smiling and saying you're gonna be alright

[00:03:31] And this morning I stared back at myself

[00:03:38] Feeling as empty as I've ever felt

[00:03:44] But I keep on going and I hope I've learned

[00:03:47] More of what's right than what's wrong

[00:03:50] It's ashes and roses and time that burns

[00:03:53] When you're chasing what's already gone

[00:03:57] Ashes and roses and hearts that break

[00:03:59] I tried so hard to be strong

[00:04:02] It may be my worst but not my first mistake

[00:04:07] Chasing what's already gone
