Carrie Newcomer - Every Little Bit of It lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

Just beyond my sight, something that I cannot see

I've been circling around a thought that’s been circling round me

Like the vapor of a song that is just out of your shot

And I thought I knew the question, but I guess not

(Chorus)

There it is just below the surface of

things

In a flash of blue, and the turning of wings

I drain the glass, drink it down, every moment

of this

Every little bit of it, every little bit

(Verse)

I swam against the tide, I tripped on my own pride

So I'll try again today, to get out of my own way

The face was always in the stone, said Michelangelo

We just have to chip and clear, to see what is already there

(Chorus)

There it is just below the surface of

things

In a flash of blue, and the turning of wings

I drain the glass, drink it down, every moment

of this

Every little bit of it, every little bit

(Bridge)

There it is in the apple of every new notion

There it is in the scar healed over what was

broken

In the branches, in the whispering

In the silence and the sighs

And the furious promise of limited time

(Instrumental break)

(Verse)

It's true although it’s hard

A shadow glides over the ridge

And one fast beating heart

Tries with its might to live

And we sense, but can’t describe

From the corner of our eye

Something nameless and abiding

And so we keep transcribing

(Chorus)

There it is just below the surface of

things

In a flash of blue, and the turning of wings

I drain the glass, drink it down, every moment

of this

Every little bit of it, every little bit
