《History Book(Acoustic)》歌词

[00:00:00] History Book (Acoustic) - Dry the River

[00:00:01] Like faithful oxen through the chalk

[00:00:06] With dragging tails of history walk

[00:00:10] Soon confuse the compass and the cross

[00:00:18] Carefully and cursively

[00:00:22] Fill we our travelling diaries with with loss

[00:00:35] Beneath an angry Bible flood

[00:00:40] Did you and I first learn to love

[00:00:44] In my father's car we came to know

[00:00:52] And shivered in our painted clothes

[00:00:56] And paired like every animal below

[00:01:09] It's heavy as a history book can be

[00:01:13] I will carry it with me

[00:01:17] Oh Lord

[00:01:25] Maybe when the bitterness has gone

[00:01:29] There'll be sweetness on our tongues once more

[00:01:42] Barefoot in a rowing boat

[00:01:46] You lose your shoes and freeze your toes

[00:01:50] And say I wear my sorrow like a crown

[00:01:58] And throw your arms around my head

[00:02:02] And see it there in gold and red and brown

[00:02:13] It's heavy as a history book can be

[00:02:17] I will carry it with me

[00:02:21] Oh Lord

[00:02:29] Maybe when the bitterness has gone

[00:02:33] There'll be sweetness on our tongues once more

[00:02:46] We'll soon forget our parents' names

[00:02:53] Like dogs will drive the wolves away

[00:03:02] And weep with fingertips opposed

[00:03:07] A Like church where nobody congregates

[00:03:18] But sweetness sings in the pasture

[00:03:23] We throw ourselves on the mercy of the earth

[00:03:26] If sand and salt have the answer

[00:03:30] Then the act itself will be louder than the word
