《Rhymes & Reasons》歌词

[00:00:00] Rhymes & Reasons (Live 1995) - John Denver (约翰·丹佛)

[00:00:22] So you speak to me of sadness and the coming of the winter

[00:00:30] The fear that is within you now it seems to never end

[00:00:36] The dreams that have escaped you

[00:00:39] And the hopes that you've forgotten

[00:00:42] You tell me that you need me now

[00:00:45] You want to be my friend

[00:00:48] And you wonder where we're going

[00:00:51] Where's the rhyme and where is the reason

[00:00:55] And if you cannot accept it is here we must begin

[00:01:01] To seek the wisdom of the children

[00:01:07] And the graceful way of flowers in the wind

[00:01:14] For the children and the flowers are my sisters and my brothers

[00:01:21] Their laughter and their loveliness could clear a cloudy day

[00:01:27] Like the music of the mountains and the colors of the rainbow

[00:01:34] They're a promise of the future and a blessing for today

[00:01:49] Though the cities start to crumble and the towers fall around us

[00:01:55] The sun is slowly fading and it's colder than the sea

[00:02:02] It is written: "From the desert to the mountains they shall lead us

[00:02:08] By the hand and by the heart they will comfort you and me

[00:02:15] In their innocence and trusting they will teach us to be free "

[00:02:23] For the children and the flowers are my sisters and my brothers

[00:02:29] Their laughter and their loveliness could clear a cloudy day

[00:02:36] And the song that I am singing is a prayer to nonbelievers:

[00:02:43] "Come and stand beside us we can find a better way
