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

    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...

    Greenville trestle high

    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...
