Dar Williams - And a god descended
Tekst :
Step through this trampled wall
The unhinged door betrays it all
That far within our faith we were all waiting
The broken glass reflects the haze
It shines like endless holy days
Struggling to remember what they re celebrating
Well, a God descended
And the reason ended
His life was lifted just above the law
And now we have to live with what we did
With what we saw
Well, you mend your clothes and patch your roof
And slivers of God s shattered truth
Grow tender as the grass in clean-swept yards
But a savior came and told us how
The truth was all around us now
Abandon house and field and gather up the shards
Well, a God descended
And the reason ended
His life was lifted just above the law
And now we have to live with what we did
With what we saw
Well, you build your faith with strength and duty
Build your love but there s a beauty
Well you know the scriptures tell
There are a few shards left in hell
And if we want a god we had to follow, follow him down
Pictures torn out of their frames
And orgies where we lost our names
All were gone with time s real desire
Well, you ask how God can curse you thus
That s not a question asked by us
We burned our beds and books
We fear we ve lost the fire
The God descended
And the reason ended
His life was lifted just above the law
And now we have to live with what we did
With what we saw . . .

I used to want you
Now I want to make you nervous
Now I want to make you hate
Now I want to make you crazy
So that we could still relate
And we could get drunk all night
And in the morning ride...
Pourquoi faire autant d’histoires
Pour des landemains qui chantent faux
Se poser trop de questions
Faut-il que l’on soit aussi cons
Ne suffirait-il pas de se voir
Un peu plus un peu moins mal
Ne sufferait-il pas de vouloir
And this world all gone to war
Réduisons nos peines
Achevons nous pour le plaisir
Distillons nos haines
Et buvons à nos...
I remember as a boy how in wonderment and joy,
I d watch the trains as they d go by,
And the whistle s lonesome sound, you could here from miles around,
As they rolled across that Greenville Trestle high.
But the whistles don t sound like they used to,
Lately not many trains go...
Zabiorê ciê do moich miejsc
Tam nie ma nic, nie czeka nikt
Zabiorê ciê, gdzie tylko chcesz
Bêdziemy ja i ty
Ja i ty, ja i ty, ja i ty
Tylko ja i ty

So lie down in your coffin dear, and sleep tight
