《Better Days (Palo Alto Session)》歌词

[00:00:06] Silver gray hair neatly combed in place

[00:00:20] There were four generations of love on her face

[00:00:26] She was so wise no surprise passed her eyes

[00:00:35] She'd seen it all

[00:00:44] I was a child oh about three or four

[00:00:51] All day I'd ask questions

[00:00:54] At night I'd ask more

[00:00:58] But whenever she never would ever turn me away

[00:01:13] I'd say how can I be sure what is right or wrong

[00:01:17] And why does what I want always take so long

[00:01:21] Please tell me where does God live

[00:01:23] And why won't He talk to me

[00:01:28] I'd say Grandma what is love

[00:01:30] Will I ever find out and

[00:01:32] Why are we so poor what is life about

[00:01:35] I wanna know the answers before I fall off to sleep

[00:01:46] Ohwoohwohwoh

[00:01:46] She sort of smiled as she tucked me in

[00:01:53] Then she pulled up that old rocking chair once again

[00:02:00] But tonight she was slightly remarkably different somehow

[00:02:17] Slowly she rocked lookin' half asleep

[00:02:24] Grandma yawned as she stretched

[00:02:27] Then she started to speak

[00:02:31] What she told me would mold me and hold me

[00:02:38] Together inside ahahahahah yeah yeah

[00:02:47] She said all the things you ask

[00:02:49] You will know someday

[00:02:51] But you have got to live in a patient way

[00:02:54] God put us here by fate

[00:02:56] And by fate that means better days

[00:03:01] She said child we are all moons in the dark of night

[00:03:05] Ain't no morning gonna come 'til the time is right

[00:03:09] Can't get to better days lest you make it through the night

[00:03:15] You gotta make it through the night yes you do

[00:03:20] You can't get to no better days

[00:03:26] Unless you make it through the night

[00:03:35] Oh you will see those better days

[00:03:40] But you gotta be patient

[00:03:48] Be patient

[00:03:50] Oh baby be patient

[00:03:56] Later that year at the turn of spring

[00:04:02] Heaven sent angels down and gave Grandma her wings

[00:04:09] Now she's flying and sliding and gliding

[00:04:15] In better days

[00:04:25] And although I'm all grown up

[00:04:27] I still get confused

[00:04:29] I stumble through the dark

[00:04:31] Getting bumped and bruised

[00:04:33] When night gets in my way

[00:04:35] I could still hear my Grandma say

[00:04:39] I can hear her say

[00:04:41] I can hear her say

[00:04:43] Be patient

[00:04:44] You can't get to no better days

[00:04:54] Unless you make it through the night baby

[00:04:57] Be patient

[00:04:59] Oh you will see those better days

[00:05:01] But you gotta be patient

[00:05:01] Child do you hear me yeah

[00:05:02] Be patient

[00:05:02] You can't get to no better days

[00:05:04] Unless you make it you got to make it

[00:05:06] You got to make it

[00:05:07] You got to make it through the night

[00:05:09] Be patient

[00:05:10] Oh Grandma oh Grandma

[00:05:10] Do you see me now lady

[00:05:11] Oh oh oh oh oh

[00:05:11] Be patient

[00:05:12] She used to sit me on her knee

[00:05:12] She used to comb my hair

[00:05:13] She used to tell me stories

[00:05:25] My Grandma took me everywhere
