《Learning The World》歌词

[00:00:01] Mary Chapin Carpenter - Learning The World

[00:00:14] Grief rides quietly on the passenger side

[00:00:20] Unwanted company on a long long drive

[00:00:27] It turns down the quiet songs and turns up the din

[00:00:34] It goes where you go it's been where you've been

[00:00:48] And pushing your empty cart mile after mile

[00:00:55] Leaves you weeping in the wilderness

[00:00:59] Of the supermarket aisle

[00:01:02] And in the late night kitchen light it sits in a chair

[00:01:08] Watching you pretend that it's not really there

[00:01:18] But it is so it is and you ask

[00:01:21] Are you predator or friend

[00:01:25] The future or the past

[00:01:36] It hands you your overcoat and opens the door

[00:01:42] You are learning the world again just as before

[00:01:49] But the first time was childhood

[00:01:51] And now you are grown

[00:01:56] Broken wide open cut to the bone

[00:02:10] And all that you used to know is of no use at all

[00:02:16] The same eyes you've always had have you walking into walls

[00:02:23] And the same heart can't understand

[00:02:26] Why it's so hard to feel

[00:02:30] What used to be true

[00:02:34] What's now so unreal

[00:02:37] But it is so it is and you say

[00:02:45] I wish I were the wind so that I could blow away

[00:03:28] Grief sits silently on the edge of your bed

[00:03:35] It's closing your eyes it's stroking your head

[00:03:41] The dear old companion is taking up air

[00:03:50] Watching you pretend that it's not really there
