《History Book》歌词

[00:00:01] Artist：dry the river

[00:00:02] Songs Title：history book

[00:00:17] Like faithful oxen through the chalk

[00:00:22] With dragging tails of history walk

[00:00:26] Soon confuse the compass and the cross

[00:00:33] Carefully and cursively we fill our travelling diaries with loss

[00:00:50] Beneath an angry Bible flood

[00:00:55] Did you and I first learn to love

[00:00:59] In my father's car we came to know

[00:01:06] And shivered in our painted clothes and paired like every animal below

[00:01:23] As heavy as a history book can be

[00:01:27] I will carry it with me oh Lord

[00:01:39] And maybe when the bitterness has gone

[00:01:42] There'll be sweetness on our tongues once more

[00:01:55] Barefoot in a rowing boat

[00:01:58] You lose your shoes and freeze your toes

[00:02:03] And say I wear my sorrow like a crown

[00:02:10] And throw your arms around my head and see it there in gold and red and brown

[00:02:24] As heavy as a history book can be

[00:02:28] I will carry it with me oh Lord

[00:02:40] And maybe when the bitterness has gone

[00:02:43] There'll be sweetness on our tongues once more

[00:02:55] We'll soon forget our parents' names

[00:03:02] Like dogs will drive the wolves away

[00:03:10] And weep with fingertips opposed

[00:03:15] Like a church where nobody congregates

[00:03:25] But sweetness sings in the pasture

[00:03:29] We throw ourselves on the mercy of the earth

[00:03:33] If sand and salt have the answer

[00:03:36] Then the act itself will be louder than the word

[00:03:40] And I'll be on your side
