As Close As I Came To Being Right

(Rhett Miller & Rosanne Cash)

I thought you were the wind

Rattlin' through this house again

I thought you were the moon

Lightin 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

Everytime 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 as 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

I thought you were the sun

Spreading warmth on everyone but me

I thought you were the night

And that's as close as I came to being right

That's as close as I came to being right
