《Tether》歌词

[00:00:00] Tether (束缚) - Indigo Girls

[00:00:35] Whatever it was is wasn't manumission

[00:00:43] To spill the blood to pull the weed

[00:00:50] You can bury the past but it's a mausoleum

[00:00:57] With the ghost of a fist that won't let us be

[00:01:08] Can we bring it together

[00:01:11] Can we call from the mountain to the valley below

[00:01:22] Can we make it better

[00:01:26] Do we tether the hawk do we tether the dove

[00:01:34] I kicked up the dirt and I said to my neighbor

[00:01:40] "We keep making it worse we keep getting it wrong"

[00:01:48] He tucked in his shirt he stood a little bit straighter

[00:01:55] He said "We need a few less words dear we need a few more guns"

[00:02:02] But will it bring us together

[00:02:10] Can we call from the mountain to the valley below

[00:02:21] Can we make it better

[00:02:24] Do we tether the hawk do we tether the dove

[00:03:04] Enduring love

[00:03:08] Why so much and so strong beyond this short existence

[00:03:21] So don't be still

[00:03:23] You say there's a long line behind you

[00:03:25] And it's hardly worth the mentioning

[00:03:32] But I will

[00:03:34] Cause we may flicker and fade

[00:03:36] But we never will be through with this

[00:03:40] I see this world battered but not broken

[00:03:48] There's a fallow heart it's waiting on a sowing hand

[00:03:55] You can grow what you want But one day it's gonna rise up

[00:04:02] So plant what you need to make a better stand

[00:04:13] And we'll bring it together

[00:04:17] And we'll call from the mountain to the valley below

[00:04:28] And we'll make it better

[00:04:31] Let go of the hawk we let go of the dove

[00:04:39] I sing to you all you true believers

[00:04:48] With the strength to see this and not be still

[00:04:52] I'm telling you now find the hope that feeds you

[00:04:57] Don't let 'em bleed you of your will
