Lyrics:
Who shines the light behind the stars
On abandoned boulevards
In our Minnesota winters
Carl made his peace with medicine
Though he’d say he’d never win
‘Cause he’ll always be a sinner
Yea, when life takes you to task
You run away
Chorus:
How do you fall in love when you’re sleeping?
How do you just breath out, without breathing in?
This is how it begins
He’ll chase the rain before it starts
He’s got it broken down in parts
So there’s never any guessing
But storms hit the days Carl asks for sun
And it gets him, just for fun
He’s gotta change the plans he’s making
When life throws you a curve
You pack it in
Yet he never sent up any messages of panic, then
To let me in
Let me in
Who shines the light besides the stars
On these colored boulevards
In our cold and endless winter
Carl made his peace, it came undone
He’s right, he never won
‘Cause he’ll always be a sinner
When life takes you to task
You just run
