    This is one of the top 5 Mary wrote & performed in my opinion. She remains a deep lyric writer with a deep beautiful voice & guitarist of excellence. She is easily loved for reaching our human core/heart. Spiritually deep, it is impossible to compliment in words. "Please continue to write & sing all that God gives you, Dear."

    About all you really need: a warm place to lay your head, sustenance for the day and a musical soulmate playing at your side. More than I can ask. Thanks, darlin'.

    Can't wait until Ms MCC, Ms Colvin and mr Cohen are out touring together this fall, even if borders to 🇺🇸 remains closed or custom officers go on strike as they stated may be the the case today. Just to know they are back at their craft, safe taking all measures in covid times and enjoying their careers that have been put on hold a good year and a half. Beautiful song...I have so many of Ms MCC that are favorites. 🇨🇦

    Thanks for your comment bourgion64...You spoke the words of my heart and soul. I lost my 20 year old son, eight months ago(Jan 17, 2014). It's so comforting to know that artists like Mary Chapin Carpenter can touch us with her honesty, and make us all feel more human. Bless you and take care my friend, from Tim in Ontario, Canada.

      Very heartbreaking loss - your beloved son and so young. Trust your faith and believe that you will see him again - "and in that day you will ask Me nothing" (John 16:23) Jesus promises. Not to preach at you, just that I lost my newborn son (29 years ago). opened the Bible and my eyes fell upon that passage starting at verse 21. It spoke to my heart and I pray it comforts you, too.

    Don’t need much to be happy
    Four walls and a roof overhead
    Books and food in my belly
    Cool sheets upon the bed
    A fire that warms up December
    The sound of a thaw in the eaves
    Sometimes it’s hard to remember
    How tough we are to please
    All in good time
    Somehow I find
    Days that still shine with light
    All in good stead
    I’m safe and I’m fed
    With dreams in my head
    Good night
    The feel of my hand being taken
    Driving at night all alone
    The breeze on a warm summer evening
    And coming home
    All in good time
    Somehow you find
    Days that still shine with light
    All in good stead
    You’re safe and you’re fed
    With dreams in your head
    Good night
    Don’t need much to be happy
    A friend to soften a fall
    And something to show for my labors
    After all
    I had to learn to be grateful
    I had to learn how to see
    Mistakes that might have proved fatal
    Are gifts I now receive

    I know the feeling. Would give it all, past, present, and future to have my Daughter back. Dave Matthews said it best, "You should never have to bury your own babies."

    Oh Mary...women feel the fibers of life that men never do...there is a depth of this world... a sense like the vibrations on a spider's web foretelling futures unknown except through a mother's intuition and love...closer to God than our father's blotted view...
