《Prayer for Ruby Elm》歌词

[00:00:00] Prayer for Ruby Elm - John K. Samson

[00:00:18] Oh may the roots reach beneath the sleeping street

[00:00:25] The station and the riverbed register what we won't hear

[00:00:36] May the leaves bustle out the canopy

[00:00:44] Shake and photosynthesize everything we're sorry for

[00:00:55] Into one long breath of air

[00:01:09] May the rings of tanglefoot and fiberglass

[00:01:17] Guard against the thunderstorm canker worms and climate change

[00:01:28] May the bar rub away the power line

[00:01:35] Bandage over knots and burls

[00:01:40] Commemorate our injuries

[00:01:46] May the hydro

[00:01:48] Commemorate our injuries

[00:01:54] May the hydro worker's blade be swift and precise

[00:02:08] May the rope remember all the rhymes for knot

[00:02:16] Lift me up and lay me down

[00:02:21] Bear the swinging weight of love

[00:02:27] May the birds answer carabiner clicks

[00:02:34] Carry off the tiny seeds

[00:02:39] Better ways to be alive

[00:02:45] May it all seem plausible wherever we land

[00:02:59] May we grow
