《The Story(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] The Story-Shawn Colvin

[00:00:03] Well we pounded the pavement between dotted lines

[00:00:07] But we always belonged to the fugitive kind

[00:00:11] We were never the best but we were better than this

[00:00:15] To be made to bow down among princes

[00:00:18] I got thrown around hallways and bedrooms and towns

[00:00:22] And you run from that voice and it drags you around

[00:00:26] It don't matter the ruse or the weapons we choose

[00:00:30] There is only one thing that can free us

[00:00:34] Oh so here I am lion and the lamb

[00:00:49] I was born to be telling this story

[00:00:53] I could only be telling this story

[00:00:56] I will always be telling this story

[00:01:05] Well our father married our mother too young

[00:01:09] And he took on a world like a fortunate son

[00:01:13] But in the cellar downstairs waiting for the bomb scare

[00:01:17] He would hide from us under the kitchen

[00:01:20] Where she simmered so soft with her weapons of tin

[00:01:24] And like so many suppers she just gave us to him

[00:01:28] And he never did guess in her cast iron dress

[00:01:32] She was burning beyond recognition

[00:01:36] Oh it's not over yet oh that I can't forget

[00:01:51] I am going to be telling this story

[00:01:55] I was born to be telling this story

[00:01:58] I will always be telling this story

[00:02:21] Sometimes I feel so reckless and wild

[00:02:25] Sometimes I feel like a motherless child

[00:02:28] I gave nobody life I am nobody's wife

[00:02:32] And I seem to be nobody's daughter

[00:02:36] So red is the color that I like the best

[00:02:40] It's your Indian skin and the badge on my chest

[00:02:44] The heat of my pride and the lips of a bride

[00:02:47] The sad heart of the truth and the flag of youth

[00:02:51] And blood that is thicker than water

[00:03:03] I was made to be telling this story

[00:03:14] I was born to be telling this story

[00:03:18] I am going to be telling this story

[00:03:22] I could only be telling this story

[00:03:25] I will always be telling this story
