《Sticks & Stones》歌词

[00:00:00] Sticks & Stones - Joe Henry

[00:00:42] Gather wood against the weather

[00:00:47] Pile up stones against the sky

[00:00:52] String of lights like pearls between us

[00:00:57] And the heavens' blackest eye

[00:01:02] Tell the hour

[00:01:03] Go take another

[00:01:06] Go down Moses

[00:01:08] Without a fuss

[00:01:11] Given to the

[00:01:13] Lawless water

[00:01:15] And send that later boat for us

[00:01:20] Sticks and stones

[00:01:22] Blood ash and bone

[00:01:25] I shake the tree

[00:01:27] Swim out alone

[00:01:30] Turnin' over the dark Missouri

[00:01:34] Now that every new leaf I had

[00:01:38] Is gone

[00:01:58] Moon's near empty a swinging saber

[00:02:03] Keeping every prayer at bay

[00:02:08] At the throat of love for ransom

[00:02:12] From the dull approaching day

[00:02:17] There's no law

[00:02:18] That rides this border

[00:02:21] No fences stretch this far

[00:02:24] To show

[00:02:26] How times will side

[00:02:28] Against another

[00:02:30] As one arrives and others go

[00:02:36] Sticks and stones blood ash and bone

[00:02:40] I shake the tree swim out alone

[00:02:45] Turnin' over the dark Missouri

[00:02:48] Now that every new leaf I had is gone

[00:03:13] Whores are dressed in fire and feathers

[00:03:17] On a beach sit in a row

[00:03:22] Climb the bank through scrub and tinder

[00:03:27] Disappear where rabbits go

[00:03:31] They had nothing

[00:03:34] That I needed

[00:03:36] But I gave them

[00:03:38] All I had

[00:03:40] Just to share

[00:03:42] Some dirt between them

[00:03:45] As we waited smoked and laughed

[00:03:50] Sticks and stones blood ash and bone

[00:03:54] I shake the tree swim out alone

[00:03:59] Turnin' over the dark Missouri

[00:04:03] Now that every new leaf I had is gone

[00:04:12] Now that every new leaf I had is gone

[00:04:21] Now that every new leaf I had is gone
