Soul Companion

[Verse 1: Mary Chapin Carpenter] All of our dreams are laid out and measured Arrows and pins and a rainbow of threads Like hope on a string, sewn into the linings For the courage to face the unknown ahead [Chorus: Mary Chapin Carpenter & James Taylor] My soul companion Out in the world somewhere My soul companion I'll meet you there [Verse 2: James Taylor] I'm packing my compass, trusted and tested My dog-eared maps to study and fold Into a pocket, I'm traveling light now All that we have is all that we hold [Chorus: Mary Chapin Carpenter & James Taylor] My soul companion In my heart you are My soul companion Mmm, just like a star [Bridge: Mary Chapin Carpenter, Mary Chapin Carpenter & James Taylor] There are no borders, there are no boundaries There are no fences up around me But I get quiet and I get lonely Just like everyone [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3: Mary Chapin Carpenter, James Taylor & Both] These are the old roads, these are the stations I look for my ride, you wait for your train These are the chances, a life's incantations These are the places that don't know our name [Chorus: Mary Chapin Carpenter & James Taylor] My soul companion Love finds its own way in My soul companion Now let us begin My soul companion Out in the world somewhere My soul companion I'll meet you there [Outro: Mary Chapin Carpenter & James Taylor] Soul companion My soul companion
