《The Swords We Carried》歌词

[00:00:01] Mary Chapin Carpenter - The Swords We Carried

[00:00:13] Back when I believed in luck

[00:00:16] And stones and crosses

[00:00:19] I''d put a coin found on the street

[00:00:22] Towards cosmic losses

[00:00:26] And passing graveyards in a car

[00:00:29] Tracing every falling star

[00:00:32] Luck was never very far from childhood causes

[00:00:38] And pennies kissed with wishes arced into the fountains

[00:00:45] And time was said to heal all pain

[00:00:51] And hope move mountains

[00:00:55] And all that could befall a heart

[00:00:58] Or break this perfect life apart

[00:01:00] The swords we carried could not do a thing about them

[00:01:05] Away I am going' away I am gone

[00:01:21] Ghosts and angels are but memories and visions

[00:01:27] And revenants are out there taking up positions

[00:01:34] But back when I believed in you

[00:01:37] You''d raise the sun and set the moon

[00:01:40] How could I help but love you holy as religion

[00:01:48] Away you are going' away you are gone

[00:02:03] But back when I believed in luck and words as spoken

[00:02:09] I found a lie could break and split the world clean open

[00:02:16] And grief became my company

[00:02:19] Pain so deep I could not breathe

[00:02:23] All betrayal is like dying in slow motion

[00:02:55] Is it luck that makes us shout or makes us whisper

[00:03:01] Is it luck that makes us wise or turns us bitter

[00:03:07] With our maps that point true north

[00:03:11] With our vows we sally forth

[00:03:15] The swords we carried can''t protect us from each other

[00:03:21] Away we are going

[00:03:28] Away we are gone

[00:03:36] Away we are going

[00:03:41] Away we are gone
