《Listening To Old Voices》歌词

[00:00:00] Listening To Old Voices - John Hiatt (约翰·亥特)

[00:00:23] They have come to haunt the children

[00:00:25] They have come to walk the wind

[00:00:28] I can hear them as they rustle through the trees

[00:00:33] Looking for the love that killed them

[00:00:36] So that they might live again

[00:00:39] It's a simple prayer that brings me to my knees

[00:00:56] With drums and bells and rattles

[00:00:58] They have caught us in our time

[00:01:01] To watch the eagle rise up from the fire

[00:01:06] Now is it true we are possessed

[00:01:09] By all the ones we leave behind

[00:01:12] Or is it by their lives we are inspired

[00:01:17] It's a new light new day

[00:01:23] Listening for the meaning learning how to say

[00:01:28] It's a new place but you've always been here

[00:01:33] You're just listening to old voices with a new ear

[00:01:45] It's the livin' and the dyin' well it scares the young ones so

[00:01:50] They can hardly catch their breath before too long

[00:01:56] They see the tears we're crying and they watch that river flow

[00:02:01] And they follow on the banks until it's gone

[00:02:17] I surrender to the mountains I surrender to the sea

[00:02:23] I surrender to the one who calls my name

[00:02:28] I surrender to my lover now and to my enemy

[00:02:34] I surrender to the face that holds no shame

[00:02:39] It's a new light new day

[00:02:45] Listening for the meaning learning how to say

[00:02:50] It's a new place but you've always been here

[00:02:55] You're just listening to old voices with a new ear

[00:03:25] There's a spider at my window and she spins a web of truth

[00:03:31] More beautiful than all these memories

[00:03:36] And she surely is god's artist as she's caught the morning dew

[00:03:42] It's a simple prayer that brings me to my knees

[00:03:53] It's a new light new day

[00:03:58] Listening for the meaning learning how to say

[00:04:04] It's a new place but you've always been here

[00:04:09] You're just listening to old voices with a new ear

[00:04:15] It's a new light new day

[00:04:20] Listening for the meaning learning how to say

[00:04:25] It's a new place but we've always been here

[00:04:30] We're just listening to old voices with a new ear
