"Everyone But Me" lyrics - ROSANNE CASH

We plow a similar field
Of all the bones of remembered hearts
And all the crackpot dreams
And all the backroom art

We run a similar course
On a track laid with broken glass
So tie your shoes real tight
It goes by real fast

[Chorus:]
Mother and Father
Now that you're gone
It's not nearly long enough
Still it seems too long

I gave up my name for you
Gave up my edge, it made me bleed
And I pleased everyone
I mean everyone but me

There behind the closing door
I'm not enough and then too much
Our strange and beautiful lives
Fade and turn to dust

[Chorus:]
Mother and Father
Now that you're gone
It's not nearly long enough
Still it seems too long
It's just wasn't long enough
Still it seems too long
