willi carlisle - your heart's a big tent lyrics

this mornin’ a miracle happened as promised:
the risin’ of the world’s closest star
and the almanacs warned us that the fast coming weather
might blow us away like dandelion flowers

oh and if i had a nickel
for every time i’ve taken shelter
rom the storm alone and naked in my bedsheets
i could pay off all my loans
buy some nicer clothes
find a job that didn’t always scare me
but i’ve been trying not to think before my third cup of coffee

ah, the heart’s a big tent
you gotta let everybody in!
doesn’t matter who they are
if they can ride
or where they’ve been:
everybody gets in!

i think i know a secret, still not really sure
somewhere between i’m livin’
and i believe i can fly
what’s up i saw the devil
in a used book store
he was rippin’ up and spittin’ on the catcher in the rye
and i’m coming to myself, like a man finding religion __
am i baptized, drowned, or washed in the blood?
they say life’s an open field, well i’d like to plant a garden
and i ain’t ready for the fire or the flood
i need ethereal love

like the heart’s a big tent
you gotta let everybody in!
doesn’t matter who they are
if they can ride
or where they’ve been:
everybody gets in!

my conclusion’s not a great one
i’ll leave that to the smarter ones
the soul is an idiot and it doesn’t care why
oh, whatever you do with it
the gift’s a pretty simple one
just sing until you love yourself
and love until you die

oh, i’ve seen the trees like pillars full of blood __
chlorophyllic stupor swaying in their glory
seen the sparrows in the air
a_lite on branches there
and there’s no way they’re afraid of being thirty
if i can’t live clean than i’d better love dirty!
‘cuz the heart’s a big tent
you gotta let everybody in!
doesn’t matter who they are
if they can ride
or where they’ve been:
everybody gets in!

this mornin’ a miracle happened as promised:
the risin’ of the world’s closest star
