[00:00:00] Stones In The Road (Album Version) - Mary Chapin Carpenter (玛丽翠萍·卡本特)

[00:00:03] Written by：Mary Chapin Carpenter/John Jennings

[00:00:30] When we are young we plege to legents

[00:00:34] Every morning of our lives

[00:00:37] The classroom rang with children's voices

[00:00:41] Under teacher's watchful eye

[00:00:44] We learned about the world around us

[00:00:48] At our desks and at dinnertime

[00:00:52] Reminded of the starving children

[00:00:55] We cleaned our plates with guilty minds

[00:01:00] And the stones in the road

[00:01:03] Shone like diamonds in the dust

[00:01:07] And then a voice called to us

[00:01:10] To make our way back home

[00:01:14] When I was ten my father held me

[00:01:18] On his shoulders above the crowd

[00:01:21] To see a train draped in mourning

[00:01:25] Pass slowly through our town

[00:01:29] His widow kneeled with all their children

[00:01:32] At the sacred burial ground

[00:01:36] And the TV glowed that long hot summer

[00:01:40] With all the cities burning down

[00:01:43] And the stones in the road

[00:01:47] Flew out beneath our bicycle tires

[00:01:51] Worlds removed from all those fires

[00:01:54] As we raced each other home

[00:02:27] And now we drink our coffee on the run

[00:02:30] We climb that ladder rung by rung

[00:02:34] We are the daughters and the sons
