As Close as I Came to Being Right Rhett Miller (Ft. Rosanne Cash)

I thought you were the wind
That went through this house again
I thought you were the moon
Lightening up these empty rooms

I thought you were the sun
Shining down on everyone but me
I thought you were the night
And that’s as close as I came to being right

I saw you on the ground
Every time that I fell down
I saw you in the sky
Reaching out as I flew by

I heard you on the sea
Always calling out to me
Yeah, I saw you in the Northern Lights
And that’s as close I came to being right

I didn’t know it could grow so dark
I didn’t know it could break my heart
I thought it better not to put up a fight
And that’s as close as I came to being right

I thought you were the wind
Blowing through my home again
I thought you were the moon
Now nothing lights these empty rooms
