Story Behind The Song
Was vacationing at Lake Powell, NM and climbed a hill one morning with guitar in hand. Started to reflect on the grandeur of that sculptured landscape ("ageless canyons carved out of the past"), and this song resulted.
Song Description
Muses over the uncertainty of relationships from within the context of a good one. "How long can this last?". You Never Know.

Lyrics
You Never Know
c T. C. Ballister
How has this world come to pass?
Ageless canyons carved out of the past.
And how long do you think they will last?
You Never Know.
And how has this all come to be?
These feelings between you and me.
And how long do you think they will last?
You Never Know.
(Chorus)
And if there is a sure thing,
It must be the change that time brings,
But how I love this time with you.
And when did our lives become one?
Woven into a thread so finely spun.
And how could it ever come undone?
You Never Know.
(Instrumental Bridge)
(Chorus)
Now how many bridges will we cross?
How ever could our future be lost?
Well I kiss you every morning just because,
You Never Know.
No, You'll Never Know.
