《What You Look For》歌词

[00:00:00] What You Look For - Mary Chapin Carpenter

[00:00:25] What you look for on a dirty street

[00:00:29] Is a patch of green beneath your feet

[00:00:33] A stubborn weed or traveling rose

[00:00:37] Either one it lives to grow

[00:00:46] What you look for in a stranger's eyes

[00:00:49] Is if he sees through your disguise

[00:00:54] How we long to be revealed

[00:00:58] To be known we might be healed

[00:01:02] Send it out into the universe

[00:01:06] A humble plea a wish a broken verse

[00:01:10] Be the seed that lands inside the cracks

[00:01:14] Seek the sun and it shines back

[00:01:21] It shines backs

[00:01:27] What you looked for when you were a girl

[00:01:30] Was a window out into the world

[00:01:34] From a speeding car or a passing train

[00:01:38] You were hypnotized just the same

[00:01:43] What you look for now that you are grown

[00:01:46] Is proof of how the time has flown

[00:01:51] An empty house a strand of grey

[00:01:55] And an endless long for yesterday

[00:01:59] Send it out into the great elsewhere

[00:02:03] A kind of hope a chant a simple prayer

[00:02:07] Be the child whose dreams won't ever fade

[00:02:12] Shout the storm that barricades

[00:02:49] What you look for in your darkest hour

[00:02:52] Is a dirty a street or just a flower

[00:02:59] Send it out not knowing where it went

[00:03:03] To the blue into the firmament

[00:03:07] Be the one who wonders at it all

[00:03:13] Send it out into the universe

[00:03:17] A humble plea a wish a broken verse

[00:03:21] Be the seed that lands inside the cracks

[00:03:26] Seek the sun and it shines back

[00:03:33] It shines back
