《Geodes》歌词

[00:00:00] Geodes - Carrie Newcomer

[00:00:05] No you can't always tell one from another

[00:00:11] And it's best not to judge a book

[00:00:15] By it's tattered cover

[00:00:18] I have found when I tried or looked deeper inside

[00:00:23] What appears unadorned might be wondrously formed

[00:00:29] You can't always tell but sometimes you just know

[00:00:35] Round here we throw geodes in our gardens

[00:00:41] They're as common as the rain or corn silk in July

[00:00:47] Unpretentious browns

[00:00:49] And grays the stain of Indiana clay

[00:00:53] They're what's left of shallow seas

[00:00:56] Glacial rock and mystery

[00:00:59] And inside their shines a secret bright as promise

[00:01:05] All these things that we call familiar

[00:01:11] Are just miracles clothed in the commonplace

[00:01:18] And you'll see it if you try in the next stranger's eyes

[00:01:23] God walks around in muddy boots

[00:01:26] Sometimes rags and that's the truth

[00:01:29] You can't always tell

[00:01:31] But sometimes you just know

[00:01:36] Some say geodes were made from pockets of tears

[00:01:42] Trapped away in small places for years upon years

[00:01:48] Pressed down and transformed

[00:01:51] Until the true self was born

[00:01:54] And the whole world moved on

[00:01:57] Like the last notes of a song

[00:02:00] A love letter sent without return address

[00:02:30] No you can't always tell one from another

[00:02:36] And it's best not to judge a book by it's tattered cover

[00:02:43] I don't open them to see folks round here just like me

[00:02:49] We have come to believe

[00:02:51] There's hidden good in common things

[00:02:55] You can't always tell but sometimes you just know

[00:03:01] You can't always tell but sometimes you just know
