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 morning 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
