歌曲名 Geodes

歌手名 Carrie Newcomer

No you can't always tell one from another

And it's best not to judge a book

By it's tattered cover

I have found when I tried or looked deeper inside

What appears unadorned might be wondrously formed

You can't always tell but sometimes you just know

Round here we throw geodes in our gardens

They're as common as the rain or corn silk in July

Unpretentious browns

And grays the stain of Indiana clay

They're what's left of shallow seas

Glacial rock and mystery

And inside their shines a secret bright as promise

All these things that we call familiar

Are just miracles clothed in the commonplace

And you'll see it if you try in the next stranger's eyes

God walks around in muddy boots

Sometimes rags and that's the truth

You can't always tell

But sometimes you just know

Some say geodes were made from pockets of tears

Trapped away in small places for years upon years

Pressed down and transformed

Until the true self was born

And the whole world moved on

Like the last notes of a song

A love letter sent without return address

No you can't always tell one from another

And it's best not to judge a book by it's tattered cover

I don't open them to see folks round here just like me

We have come to believe

There's hidden good in common things

You can't always tell but sometimes you just know

You can't always tell but sometimes you just know
