Between Here and Gone

Tonight the moon came up, it was nearly full Way down here on earth, I could feel it's pull The weight of gravity or just the lure of life Made me want to leave my only home tonight Now I'm just wonderin' how we know where we belong Is it in a photograph or a dashboard poet's song? Will I have missed my chance to right some ancient wrong Should I find myself between here and gone? Now I could grab my keys, clear out in my truck With every cent on board bringing me their luck An' I could drive too fast like a midnight sleeve As if there was a way to outrun the grief Now I'm just wonderin' how we know where we belong In a song that's left behind, in the dream I couldn't wake from Could I've felt the brush of a soul that's passing on Somewhere in between, here and gone? Up above me, wayward angels A blur of wings and grace One for courage, one for safety One for just in case I thought a light went out but now the candle shines I thought my tears wouldn't stop then I dried my eyes And after all of this, the truth that holds me here Is that this emptiness is something not to fear Yeah, I'll keep wondering how we know where we belong After all the journey's made and the journey's yet to come When I feel like giving up instead of going on Somewhere in between Yeah, I'm just wondering how we know where we belong Is it in the arc of the moon leaving shadows on the lawn? In the path of fireflies and a single bird at dawn Singing in between, here and gone
