Touching The Ground

Brandi Carlile · Give Up the Ghost [2009]

I swear when we touched, I saw heaven in your eyes

And jewel studded clouds floating in your skies

Seas of blue and fields of green

Lookin' like you fell out of someone's dreams



Why, do my troubles turn true

Whenever I rest my eyes on you

Why, must my heartache be found

Wherever your feet are touching the ground



You could sing an army of angels to sleep

With songs that could cause the devil to weep

You hold me so sweet when the day is done

Enough to make you wonder where we all came from



Why, do my troubles turn true

Whenever I rest my eyes on you

Why, must my heartache be found

Wherever your feet are touching the ground

A heartache can be found

Wherever your feet are touching the ground



And now those eyes are filling with rain

Bringing me misery, giving me pain

Curse these shackles that you put on me

And blessed by the day when you set me free



Why, do my troubles turn true

Whenever I rest my eyes on you

Why, must my heartache be found

Wherever your feet are touching the ground
