《Jacob And Two Women》歌词

[00:00:02] Jacob And Two Women - Rich Mullins

[00:00:13] Jacob he loved Rachel and Rachel she loved him

[00:00:19] And Leah was just there for dramatic effect

[00:00:26] Well it's right there in the Bible

[00:00:29] So it must not be a sin

[00:00:32] But it sure does seem like an awful dirty trick

[00:00:39] And her sky is just a petal pressed in a book of a memory

[00:00:46] Of the time he thought he loved her and they kissed

[00:00:52] And her friends say "Ah he's a devil"

[00:00:55] But she says "No he is a dream"

[00:00:59] This is the world as best as I can remember it

[00:01:11] Now Jacob got two women

[00:01:14] And a whole house full of kids

[00:01:17] And he schemed his way back to the promised land

[00:01:24] And he finds it's one thing to win 'em

[00:01:27] And it's another to keep 'em content

[00:01:30] When he knows that he is only just one man

[00:01:37] And his sky's an empty bottle

[00:01:39] And when he's drunk the ocean dry

[00:01:43] Well he sails off three sheets to some reckless wind

[00:01:49] And his friends say "Ain't it awful"

[00:01:53] And he says "No I think it's fine"

[00:01:57] And this is the world as best as I can remember it

[00:02:08] Now Rachel's weeping for the children

[00:02:11] That she thought she could not bear

[00:02:14] And she bears a sorrow that she cannot hide

[00:02:21] And she wishes she was with them

[00:02:24] But she looks and they're not there

[00:02:27] Seems that love comes for just a moment

[00:02:31] And then it passes on by

[00:02:34] And her sky is just a bandit

[00:02:37] Swinging at the end of a hangman's noose

[00:02:41] 'Cause he stole the moon

[00:02:42] And must be made to pay for it

[00:02:47] And her friends say "My that's tragic"

[00:02:50] She says "Especially for the moon"

[00:02:54] This is the world as best as I can remember it

[00:03:01] This is the world as best as I can remember it

[00:03:07] This is the world as best as I can remember it
