《One Can Only Hope》歌词

[00:00:00] 08 One Can Only Hope

[00:00:21] Time ago in Massachusetts

[00:00:25] Saw you in a dying birch tree

[00:00:30] Swinging from the branches like a noose

[00:00:40] Hid our love inside the woodpile

[00:00:44] Slow-danced in the sunken garden

[00:00:49] Parted ways and I ain't seen you since

[00:00:59] Amtrak train bound for Penn station

[00:01:04] Leaking from my eyes and ink pen

[00:01:09] Praying Casey Jones will take me home

[00:01:18] I'm wondering if you've met regret

[00:01:22] Or if she's tried to kiss you yet

[00:01:27] Or maybe make you second-guess your own flesh and bone

[00:01:40] One can only hope

[00:01:52] Tennessee in mid-November

[00:01:57] Sour milk asbestos shingles

[00:02:02] Ready me for winter's loneliness

[00:02:10] I'm looking hard now for a sign

[00:02:16] A hymnal with a broken spine

[00:02:21] Entrails perfectly aligned you never really know

[00:02:33] One can only hope

[00:03:03] Hidden in an Austin motel

[00:03:08] Hunched over a plywood table

[00:03:13] Writing words I'm never gonna send

[00:03:22] But maybe if I start to sing

[00:03:27] They'll float along what might have been

[00:03:32] As buoyant as original sin and find their way to you

[00:03:44] One can only hope

[00:03:58] One can only hope
