《The Rock Will Wear Away》歌词

[00:00:00] The Rock Will Wear Away - Holly Near

[00:00:06] Sixteen year old virgin

[00:00:12] Springtime takes her to the park

[00:00:17] Where the moon shines down like the future

[00:00:23] Calling her out of the dark

[00:00:28] But her nightmare finds her freedom

[00:00:32] And leaves her lying wounded worn from invasion

[00:01:02] Thirty year old mother

[00:01:07] Autumn finds her pregnant once more

[00:01:12] And the leaves like gold and copper

[00:01:17] Reminding her that she is poor

[00:01:22] And her children often are hungry

[00:01:26] She hungers too

[00:01:29] For knowledge time and choices

[00:01:55] Eighty year old poet

[00:02:01] Winter keeps her home and alone

[00:02:05] Where she freezes and darkness keeps her

[00:02:10] From writing her final wisdom

[00:02:15] But she lights her last red candle

[00:02:19] And as it is melting

[00:02:22] Tilting it writing now

[00:02:30] Light as a feather floating by

[00:02:32] Landing then covered with soot

[00:02:37] Waiting now watching now for rain

[00:02:41] To wash clean her pain

[00:02:48] Can we be like drops of water falling on the stone

[00:02:58] Splashing breaking dispersing in air

[00:03:04] Weaker than the stone by far but be aware

[00:03:09] That as time goes by the rock will wear away

[00:03:21] Can we be like drops of water falling on the stone

[00:03:30] Splashing breaking dispersing in air

[00:03:35] Weaker than the stone by far but be aware

[00:03:40] That as time goes by the rock will wear away

[00:03:52] And the water comes

[00:03:55] And the water comes

[00:03:57] And the water comes

[00:04:00] And the water comes

[00:04:02] And the water comes

[00:04:05] And the water comes again
