Old D-35 - Mary Chapin Carpenter

As long as there’s a sky turning into darkness after day

As long as you and I are standing in a photograph in a frame

As long as there’s a vine of summer squash and peach pie on a sill

As long as there’s still time and room to chase it, try and hold it still

An old hat in the hallway

The way the light turns gold

Twilight on a fall day

And the sound of your old D-35

As long you appear in my dreams to show me how it was

As long as I am here to shake a fist at the universe above

A shot glass filled with whiskey

A screen door that won’t close

Loneliness and mystery

And the sound of your old D-35

We find the one we’re meant for if we’re truly meant to be

As if fate’s in charge and all we have to do is call on destiny

As long as there are songs that sound like rain on an old terne roof

As long as we belong to another time before we knew how much we’d lose

As long as there’s a sky turning into darkness after day

As long as you and I are frozen in a photograph in a frame

A cigarette’s ash glowing

An endless stretch of road

Everything worth knowing

And the sound of your old D-35
