Geodes-Carrie Newcomer

[ti:Geodes] [ar:Carrie Newcomer] [al:The Geography Of Light] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]Geodes - Carrie Newcomer [00:05.87]No you can't always tell one from another [00:10.72] [00:11.73]And it's best not to judge a book [00:14.57] [00:15.26]By it's tattered cover [00:18.07]I have found when I tried or looked deeper inside [00:23.56]What appears unadorned might be wondrously formed [00:29.68]You can't always tell but sometimes you just know [00:33.63] [00:35.88]Round here we throw geodes in our gardens [00:39.94] [00:41.57]They're as common as the rain or corn silk in July [00:47.74]Unpretentious browns [00:49.40]And grays the stain of Indiana clay [00:53.62]They're what's left of shallow seas [00:56.56]Glacial rock and mystery [00:58.87] [00:59.57]And inside their shines a secret bright as promise [01:03.89] [01:05.81]All these things that we call familiar [01:10.57] [01:11.81]Are just miracles clothed in the commonplace [01:17.47] [01:18.17]And you'll see it if you try in the next stranger's eyes [01:23.51]God walks around in muddy boots [01:26.72]Sometimes rags and that's the truth [01:29.92]You can't always tell [01:31.79]But sometimes you just know [01:33.88] [01:36.02]Some say geodes were made from pockets of tears [01:42.07]Trapped away in small places for years upon years [01:48.70]Pressed down and transformed [01:51.69]Until the true self was born [01:54.18]And the whole world moved on [01:57.48]Like the last notes of a song [02:00.38]A love letter sent without return address [02:04.41] [02:30.55]No you can't always tell one from another [02:35.67] [02:36.73]And it's best not to judge a book by it's tattered cover [02:43.12]I don't open them to see folks round here just like me [02:49.03]We have come to believe [02:51.92]There's hidden good in common things [02:55.33]You can't always tell but sometimes you just know [02:59.50] [03:01.58]You can't always tell but sometimes you just know
