专辑 | The Near Demise of the High Wire Dancer |
Someone is tossing petals in a stream | |
Somewhere someone is standing at the foothills of their dreams | |
Someone got a paintbrush, is painting over doubts | |
Someone opened up his eyes and saw the sun coming out | |
Someone was captive and found the courage to get off | |
From a boulder in the well, somewhere the rain has stopped | |
Someone is finding the place where they belong | |
Everyday is summer somewhere in the world | |
And the summer boys are headed for the falls to kiss the girls | |
With their impatient hands groping honey breasts and curls | |
They are filled with desire | |
And high in the hills there's a baby being born | |
As forgiveness and peace wash over bruises and sores | |
People bridging the distance over nettles and thorns | |
Everyone aboard on the merry-go-round | |
Some things will rise up so that others come down | |
If the devil don't dance, heaven won't shine | |
It's a mighty thick haze and it's a pretty thin line | |
If the facuet is tightened up the love won't flow | |
If the love isn't bright enough the corn won't grow | |
If the night isn't dark enough the moon won't glow | |
A rich man counting money, a tired man counting sheep | |
While the safe man counts his blessings, the hungry man has beans | |
There's a million people praying, raising up their eyes | |
To what turns out to be the same god, the same sky | |
We are slightly scared of death, a little bit afraid | |
So we celebrate everything we can think to celebrate | |
We shall sing out loud to keep the hounds away | |
Everyone aboard on the merry-go-round | |
Some things will rise up so that others come down | |
If the devil don't dance, heaven won't shine | |
It's a mighty thick haze and it's a pretty thin line | |
If the facuet is tightened up the love won't flow | |
If the love isn't bright enough the corn won't grow | |
If the night isn't dark enough the moon won't glow | |
Prisons will crumble and governments will fall | |
It's the order of freedom to be preceded by walls | |
Cause the truth would be worthless if no one ever lied | |
So we carry our shame in the interest of pride | |
And we have all these questions to make us go roam | |
And we’ve got all this distance to make us come home | |
As the sun burns, a child learns, the tide churns, the world turns | |
Everyone aboard on the merry-go-round | |
Some things will rise up so that others come down | |
If the devil don't dance, heaven won't shine | |
It's a mighty thick haze and it's a pretty thin line | |
If the facuet is tightened up the love won't flow | |
If the love isn't bright enough the corn won't grow | |
If the night isn't dark enough the moon won't glow |
Someone is tossing petals in a stream | |
Somewhere someone is standing at the foothills of their dreams | |
Someone got a paintbrush, is painting over doubts | |
Someone opened up his eyes and saw the sun coming out | |
