Back To You

In a brief an' open moment in an' ol' roadside cafe

Just outside a-Memphis in the dyin' light of day

My eyes must have betrayed me, 'cause it was you, I could have sworn

And time came to a standstill as a brand new ghost was born

Yeah, a brand new ghost was born

How can you tell the river from the rain

When so much of you an' me and us remains?

No matter what direction I go runnin' to

It always comes back to you

In the latest book I'm readin' in the crisp October air

In a face I see in traffic in some yet unwhispered prayer

You are everything and everyone and everywhere I go

Hangin' like a mornin' mist that's burnin' off too slow

You are burnin' off too slow

How can you tell the river from the rain

When so much of you an' me and us remains?

No matter what direction I go runnin' to

It always comes back to you

Just like I always did

Remindin' me, I'm such a fool to ever let you go

How can you tell the river from the rain

When so much of you an' me and us remains?

No matter what direction I go runnin' to

It always comes back to you
