Soul Companion lyrics

[Verse 1: Mary Chapin Carpenter]
All of our dreams are laid out and measured
Arrows and pins and a rainbow of threads
Like hope on a string, sewn into the linings
For the courage to face the unknown ahead

[Chorus: Mary Chapin Carpenter & James Taylor]
My soul companion
Out in the world somewhere
My soul companion
I'll meet you there

[Verse 2: James Taylor]
I'm packing my compass, trusted and tested
My dog-eared maps to study and fold
Into a pocket, I'm traveling light now
All that we have is all that we hold

[Chorus: Mary Chapin Carpenter & James Taylor]
My soul companion
In my heart you are
My soul companion
Mmm, just like a star

[Bridge: Mary Chapin Carpenter, Mary Chapin Carpenter & James Taylor]
There are no borders, there are no boundaries
There are no fences up around me
But I get quiet and I get lonely
Just like everyone
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3: Mary Chapin Carpenter, James Taylor & Both]
These are the old roads, these are the stations
I look for my ride, you wait for your train
These are the chances, a life's incantations
These are the places that don't know our name

[Chorus: Mary Chapin Carpenter & James Taylor]
My soul companion
Love finds its own way in
My soul companion
Now let us begin
My soul companion
Out in the world somewhere
My soul companion
I'll meet you there

[Outro: Mary Chapin Carpenter & James Taylor]
Soul companion
My soul companion
