Our Song (Remastered) - Joe Henry.mp3

[00:00.00] 作词 : Joe Henry
[00:01.00] 作曲 : Joe Henry
[00:21.15]I saw Willie Mays
[00:24.66]At a Scottsdale Home Depot
[00:29.22]Looking at Garage Door Springs
[00:32.82]At the far end of the 14th row
[00:38.82]His wife stood there beside him
[00:42.96]She was quiet and they both were proud
[00:47.55]I gave them room but was close enough
[00:51.30]That I heard him when he said out loud
[00:58.68]This was my country
[01:03.30]This was my song
[01:06.27]Somewhere in the middle there
[01:10.86]Though it started badly and it's ending wrong
[01:17.31]This was my country
[01:20.07]This frightful and this angry land
[01:24.63]But it's my right if the worst of it might still
[01:30.15]Somehow make me a better man
[01:43.95]The sun is unforgiving and
[01:47.28]There's nobody would choose this town
[01:51.78]But we've squandered so much of our good will
[01:56.46]That there's nowhere else will have us now
[02:02.64]We push in line at the picture show
[02:05.52]For cool air and a chance to see
[02:11.52]A vision of ourselves portrayed as
[02:15.54]Younger and braver and humble and free.
[02:22.65]This was our country
[02:27.24]This was our song
[02:31.44]Somewhere in the middle there
[02:34.71]Though it started badly and it's ending wrong
[02:41.10]This was our country
[02:43.83]This frightful and this angry land
[02:48.36]But it's my right if the worst of it might still
[02:53.79]Somehow make me a better man
[03:16.80]I've started something I can't finish
[03:21.00]And I barely leave the house it's true
[03:25.50]I keep a wrap on my sores and joints
[03:29.52]But I've guess I've had my blessings too
[03:35.22]I've got my mother's pretty feet
[03:39.42]And a factory keeps my house in shade
[03:43.89]My children they've both been paroled
[03:48.00]And we get by on the peace we've made
[03:54.12]I feel safe so far from heaven
[03:57.63]From towers and their ocean views
[04:02.13]From here I see the future coming across
[04:06.93]What soon will be beaches too
[04:12.51]But that was him
[04:14.34]I'm almost sure
[04:16.53]The greatest centerfielder of all time
[04:20.64]Stooped by the burden of endless dreams
[04:25.68]His and yours and mine
[04:30.27]He hooked each spring beneath his feet
[04:34.20]He leaned over then he stood upright
[04:39.03]Testing each against his weight
[04:43.74]For one that had some play and some fight
[04:48.72]He's just like us I want to tell him
[04:54.36]And our needs are small enough
[04:57.27]Something to slow a heavy door
[05:01.56]Something to help us raise one up
[05:08.61]This was my country
[05:13.29]This was my song
[05:17.46]Somewhere in the middle there
[05:20.76]Though it started badly and it's ending wrong
[05:27.30]This was God's country
[05:29.94]This frightful and this angry land
[05:34.44]But if it's his will
[05:35.85]The worst of it might still
[05:39.81]Somehow make me a better man
[05:52.23]If it's his will
[05:54.00]The worst of it might still
[05:58.11]Somehow make me a better man
