[00:01.33] Artist:dry the river
[00:02.97] Songs Title:history book
[00:06.10]
[00:17.52] Like faithful oxen through chalk,the
[00:22.06] With dragging tails of history walk.
[00:26.14] Soon confuse the compass cross.and the
[00:33.90] Carefully and cursively we fill our travelling diaries with loss.
[00:43.71]
[00:50.74] Beneath an angry Bible flood,
[00:55.44] Did you and I first learn to love.
[00:59.70] In my father's car we came to know.
[01:05.47]
[01:06.74] And shivered in our painted clothes and paired like every animal below.
[01:15.80]
[01:23.79] heavy As as a history book can be,
[01:27.67] I will carry it with me, oh Lord.
[01:34.33]
[01:39.14] And maybe when the bitterness has gone,
[01:42.77] There'll be sweetness on our tongues once more.
[01:54.44]
[01:55.27] Barefoot in a rowing boat,
[01:58.96] You lose your shoes and freeze your toes.
[02:03.54] And say I wear my sorrow like a crown.
[02:10.22] And throw your arms around my head, and see it there in gold and red and brown.
[02:19.68]
[02:24.95] As heavy as a history book can be,
[02:28.71] I will carry it with me, oh Lord.
[02:35.30]
[02:40.07] And maybe bitterness when the has gone,
[02:43.57] There'll be sweetness on our tongues once more.
[02:52.98]
[02:55.49] We'll soon forget our parents' names,
[03:01.45]
[03:02.88] Like dogs will drive the wolves away.
[03:08.46]
[03:10.29] And weep with fingertips opposed,
[03:15.51] Like a church where nobody congregates.
[03:19.90]
[03:25.74] But sweetness sings in the pasture,
[03:29.19] We throw ourselves on the mercy of the earth.
[03:33.00] If sand and salt have answer,the
[03:36.38] Then the act itself will be louder than the word.
[03:40.41] And I'll be on your side.
