《After All》歌词

[00:00:00] After All - Dar Williams

[00:00:02] Written by：Dar Williams

[00:00:06] Go ahead push your luck

[00:00:08] Find out how much love the world can hold

[00:00:14] Once upon a time I had control

[00:00:18] And reined my soul in tight

[00:00:25] Well the whole truth

[00:00:28] Is like the story of a wave unfurled

[00:00:34] But I held the evil of the world

[00:00:38] So I stopped the tide

[00:00:41] Froze it up from inside

[00:00:43] And it felt like

[00:00:46] A winter machine

[00:00:49] That you go through and then

[00:00:53] You catch your breath and winter starts again

[00:00:57] And everyone else is spring bound

[00:01:03] And when I chose to live

[00:01:07] There was no joy it's just a line I crossed

[00:01:13] It wasn't worth the pain my death would cost

[00:01:17] So I was not lost

[00:01:20] Or found

[00:01:24] And if I was to sleep

[00:01:28] I knew my family had more truth to tell

[00:01:33] And so I traveled down a whispering well

[00:01:37] To know myself through them

[00:01:44] Growing up my mom had a room full of books

[00:01:49] And hid away in there

[00:01:53] Her father raging down a spiral stair

[00:01:57] Till he found someone

[00:01:59] Most days his son

[00:02:02] And sometimes I think

[00:02:06] My father too was a refugee

[00:02:12] I know they tried to keep their pain from me

[00:02:16] They could not see what it was for

[00:02:23] But now I'm sleeping fine

[00:02:26] Sometimes the truth is like a second chance

[00:02:32] I am the daughter of a great romance

[00:02:37] And they are the children of the war

[00:03:09] Well the sun rose with so many colors

[00:03:14] It nearly broke my heart

[00:03:18] And worked me over like a work of art

[00:03:21] And I was a part of all that

[00:03:28] So go ahead push your luck

[00:03:32] Say what it is you've got to say to me

[00:03:37] We will push on into that mystery

[00:03:41] And it'll push right back

[00:03:44] And there are worse things than that

[00:03:47] 'Cause for every price

[00:03:51] And every penance that I could think of

[00:03:56] It's better to have fallen in love

[00:04:01] Than never to have fallen at all

[00:04:07] 'Cause when you live in a world

[00:04:11] Well it gets in to who you thought you'd be

[00:04:16] And now I laugh at how the world changed me

[00:04:20] I think life chose me after all
