Before & After (Feat. Mary Chapin Carpenter)-Carrie Newcomer

[00:00.000] 作词 : CARPENTER, MARY [00:01.000] 作曲 : MARY CARPENTER [00:11.60]The dust settles after a hit and run [00:18.87]Bewildered by the damage done [00:24.84]I don't know why we choose the roads we travel [00:31.02]Or how a life could get so unraveled. [01:07.35]Once a trick of light made me believe, [01:14.22]A red fire was blazing from every tree. [01:20.10]We held hands as the evening gathered. [01:26.28]I forgave myself for what I didn't ask her. [01:35.64]I once saw the sky filled with falling stars [01:41.63]Bumped my head in the dark and it left a scar [01:47.64]Held on too tight before I let it go, [01:53.90]Then forgave myself for what I didn't know. [02:31.36]I've stretched my soul over fifty states, [02:37.17]I have lived on fumes and religious cornflakes, [02:43.08]And once I dreamt my shoe had grown thin and battered, [02:49.60]And forgave myself for what didn't matter. [02:58.53]God said Cain where is your brother, [03:05.29]And who will tell his grieving mother? [03:12.04]Jacob dreamt an angel called his name [03:17.44]And he never was quite the same [03:26.56][02:02.99][00:39.97]We live our lives from then until now, [03:32.54][02:09.27][00:46.16]By the mercies received or the mark upon our brow [03:38.54][02:15.51][00:52.43]To my heart I'll collect what the four winds will scatter [03:44.80][02:21.80][00:58.58]And frame my life into before and after.
