[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.
