Chris Eckman - Where the Spirit Rests Lyrics

Delusions have their grandeur
And poisons have their charm
But I never knew such solace
As when I fell in to your arms
Now the smoke is drifting towards the city
And a dark orange haze obscures the sky
And my finger rubs the polaroid
From the day you became
My courthouse bride
This is where the spirit rests
This is where it hides
This is where it contradicts
The half truths
And the lies
We parked under some cottonwoods
A whirl of grasshoppers and wind
Some nights I wish we'd stopped right there
When we still knew
How to pick it up again
A lakeshore road is bathed in twilight
Glints of promise
Springs to come
This is where the spirit rests
Till tomorrow Till tomorrow proves me wrong
This is where the spirit rests
This is where it hides
This is where it contradicts
The half truths
And the lies
It's true you were my ballast
When we eclipsed the madness
Lying there undressed
You checked out first
And then I left
Take this heart
Shake these bones
Take this heart
Take this heart
Shake these bones
Take this heart
We have given sway
To the one thing we can't tame
Take this heart
Take this heart
Here's that rhythm again
Here's the risks we take
Here's the limits we press
Out where the spirit rests
This year it's been one for the books
The best catch phrases have been annulled
Out beyond those towns we left
That is where the spirit rests
That's where the spirit rests
