《History Book(Live at Lightship95)》歌词

[00:00:00] History Book - Dry the River

[00:00:18] Like faithful oxen through the chalk

[00:00:24] With dragging tails of history walk

[00:00:27] Soon confuse the compass and the cross

[00:00:35] Carefully and cursively fill

[00:00:41] We our travelling diaries with loss

[00:00:53] Beneath an angry Bible flood

[00:00:58] Did you and I first learn to love

[00:01:03] In my father's car we came to know

[00:01:10] And shivered in our painted clothes

[00:01:14] And paired like every animal below

[00:01:27] Heavy As as a history book can be

[00:01:31] I will carry it with me oh Lord

[00:01:43] Maybe And when the bitterness has gone

[00:01:47] There'll be sweetness on our tongues once more

[00:01:59] Barefoot in a rowing boat

[00:02:04] You lose your shoes and freeze your toes

[00:02:08] And say I wear my sorrow like a crown

[00:02:15] And throw your arms around my head

[00:02:19] And see it there in gold and red and brown

[00:02:29] Heavy As as a history book can be

[00:02:34] I will carry it with me oh Lord

[00:02:45] Maybe And when the bitterness has gone

[00:02:49] There'll be sweetness on our tongues once more

[00:03:01] We'll soon forget our parents' names

[00:03:08] Like dogs will drive the wolves away

[00:03:16] And weep with fingertips opposed

[00:03:21] A Like church where nobody congregates

[00:03:32] But sweetness sings in the pasture

[00:03:36] We throw ourselves on the mercy of the earth

[00:03:40] If sand and salt have the answer

[00:03:43] Then the act itself will be louder than the word

[00:03:47] And I'll be on your side

[00:03:49] And I'll be on your side

[00:03:56] And I'll be on your side
