As Close as I Came to Being Right - Rhett Miller, Rosanne Cash

I thought you were the wind

That went through this house again

I thought you were the moon

Lightening up these empty rooms

I thought you were the sun

Shining down on everyone but me

I thought you were the night

And thats as close as I came to being right

I saw you on the ground

Every time that I fell down

I saw you in the sky

Reaching out as I flew by

I heard you on the sea

Always calling out to me

I saw you in the Northern Lights

And thats as close I came to being right

I didnt know it could grow so dark

I didnt know it could break my heart

I thought it better not to put a fight

And thats as close as I came to being right

I thought you were the wind

Blowing through my home again

I thought you were the moon

Now nothing lights these empty rooms

Oh, I thought you were the sun

Spreading warmth on everyone but me

I thought you were the night

And thats as close as I came to being right

Thats as close as I came to being right
