Mary Chapin Carpenter

Mary Chapin Carpenter
So I think that if I do feel more freedom right now in my career, it's not so much because I have less at stake but more a sense that I've learned more.
Mary Chapin Carpenter
Dreamland is a book, but it's my song in book form. It's translated itself into a different medium.
Mary Chapin Carpenter
Everything changes in every genre, whether it's pop, rock or country.
Mary Chapin Carpenter
In this world you've a soul for a compass And a heart for a pair of wings There's a star on the far horizon Rising bright in an azure sky For the rest of the time that you're given Why walk when you can fly?
Mary Chapin Carpenter
In this world, you've a soul for a compass and a heart for a pair of wings.
Mary Chapin Carpenter

Mary Chapin Carpenter
