《Progress of Love》歌词

[00:00:00] Progress of Love - Joe Henry

[00:00:13] This is the progress of love that I fear

[00:00:19] You retreat just as my defeat finally nears

[00:00:26] What's only to lose myself I volunteer

[00:00:33] So all of your spoils could be mine

[00:00:40] Life takes root in the deepest dark ground

[00:00:46] Where bones blood and honor have been trampled down

[00:00:53] And beaten like ponies and driven to town

[00:00:59] Where reason is traded for rhyme

[00:01:06] Your sailor is my lawyer

[00:01:13] Your seamstress suits my king

[00:01:19] But you are the mouth of the river

[00:01:25] The star of my every dream

[00:01:34] Some young punk cut a wire the sun fell in the yard

[00:01:42] We gathered round it and we kicked it hard

[00:01:48] We passed around flowers and wine and we cried oh Lord

[00:01:56] Now here comes the night

[00:02:01] Our every word now we talk in blues

[00:02:08] A hymn to the life we're all bound to lose

[00:02:14] We'd die for more but we still refuse

[00:02:20] To live without a fight

[00:02:27] Your sailor is my lawyer

[00:02:33] Your seamstress suits my king

[00:02:39] But you are the mouth of the river

[00:02:45] At the start of my every dream

[00:02:55] We say never forget and mean never forgive

[00:03:02] No never as long as ever we live

[00:03:08] It offends all our dead to surrender this

[00:03:14] To even think we might go on

[00:03:21] And freedom doesn't need to be free when it sells

[00:03:27] Like ocean waves offered from inside of shells

[00:03:34] We bet the farm trying to ring it's bells

[00:03:40] While love still goes for a song

[00:03:47] Your sailor is my lawyer

[00:03:53] Your seamstress suits my king

[00:03:59] But you are the mouth of the river

[00:04:05] At the start of my every dream
