Lyrics: Dar Williams. Promised Land. You Are Everyone.

I went and found a house in the northern woods
And I was doing fine until the night
But then I couldn't take the sun in Los Angeles
Everything was blazing much too bright

I know that I should sit out on a darkened pier
Feeling the life that is not lived by chance
And yes I know it's just blousy old Hollywood
Jostling for one more song and dance

But you are everyone, you are everyone
I ever trusted, that never made a fool out of me
(You are everyone, you are everyone)

Early again today I rushed myself around
I thought that I would miss the morning train
Angry that I had lain in my bed too long
Watching all the patterns of the rain

So many trips I took to seek somebody out
Gaining some ground but maybe losing more
So many pages scrawled to justify myself
I don't know who I did that for

But you are everyone, you are everyone
I ever trusted, that never made a fool out of me
(You are everyone, you are everyone)

You took a couple pictures of me once
On some winter night long ago
Simply of me, you might not call them beautiful
I take them everywhere I go

But you are everyone, you are everyone
I ever trusted, that never made a fool out of me
(You are everyone, you are everyone)
I ever trusted
