《Oh， You Are The Roots That Sleep Beneath My Feet And Hold The Earth In Place》歌词

[00:00:00] Oh, You Are The Roots That Sleep Beneath My Feet And Hold The Earth In Place - Bright Eyes

[00:00:02] I met you through a common friend

[00:00:04] In the attic of my parents house

[00:00:08] And though I didn't know it then

[00:00:12] I soon was finding out

[00:00:15] You are the roots that sleep beneath my feet

[00:00:20] And hold the earth in place

[00:00:23] Each time a faucet opens

[00:00:26] Words are spoken

[00:00:28] The water runs away

[00:00:33] And I hear your name

[00:00:37] No nothing has changed

[00:00:50] There was this book I read and loved

[00:00:54] The story of a ship

[00:00:58] Who sailed around the world and found

[00:01:02] That nothing else exists

[00:01:05] Beyond his own two sails

[00:01:08] And wooden shell

[00:01:10] And what is held within

[00:01:13] All else is sure to pass

[00:01:16] We clutch and grasp

[00:01:18] And debate what's truly permanent

[00:01:22] But when the wind starts to shift

[00:01:26] There's no argument

[00:01:42] I sing and drink and sleep on floors

[00:01:46] And try hard not to be annoyed

[00:01:50] By all these people worrying about me

[00:01:58] So when I'm suffering through some awful drive

[00:02:02] You occasionally cross my mind

[00:02:06] It's my hidden hope that you are still among them

[00:02:13] Well are you

[00:02:29] Oh you are the roots that sleep beneath my feet

[00:02:34] And hold the earth in place

[00:02:37] Each time a curtain opens

[00:02:40] Sunlight pours in

[00:02:42] A lifetime melts away

[00:02:48] And we share a name

[00:02:51] On some picturesque grave
