[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. |
