Jubilee Mary Chapin Carpenter

[Verse 1]
I can tell by the way you're walking
That you don't want company
Well, I'll let you alone
And I'll let you walk on
And in your own good time you'll be
Back where the sun can find you
Under the wise wishing tree
And with all of them made
We'll lie under the shade
And call it a jubilee

[Verse 2]
And I can tell by the way you're talking
That the past isn't letting you go
There's only so long
You can take it all on
And then the wrongs gotta be on its own
And when you're ready to leave it behind you
You'll look back and all that you'll see
Is the wreckage and rust
That you left in the dust
On your way to the jubilee

[Verse 3]
And I can tell by the way you're listening
That you're still expecting to hear
Your name being called
Like a summons to all
Who have failed to account for their doubts and their fears
They can't add up to to much without you
And so if it were just up to me
I'd take hold of your hand
Saying come hear the band
Play your song at the jubilee
