Tapestry (挂毯) - Don McLean (唐·麦克林)[00:00:00]

Every thread of creation is held in position[00:00:13]

By still other strands of things living[00:00:20]

In an earthly tapestry hung from the skyline[00:00:24]

Of smoldering cities so gray and so vulgar [00:00:29]

As not to be satisfied with their own negativity [00:00:35]

But needing to touch all the living as well [00:00:41]

And every breeze that blows kindly is one crystal breath[00:00:52]

We exhale on the blue diamond heaven:[00:00:58]

As gentle to touch as the hands of the healer [00:01:03]

As soft as farewells whispered over the coffin [00:01:09]

Were poisoned by venom with each breath we take[00:01:15]

From the brown sulfer chimney and the black highway snake [00:01:20]

And every dawn that breaks golden is held in suspension[00:01:34]

Like the yolk of the egg in albumen [00:01:40]

Where the birth and the death of unseen generations[00:01:45]

Are interdependant in vast orchestration [00:01:51]

And painted in colors of tapestry thread[00:01:56]

When the dying are born and the living are dead [00:02:01]

And every pulse of your heartbeat is one liquid moment[00:02:12]

That flows through the veins of your being [00:02:18]

Like a river of life flowing on since creation[00:02:23]

Approaching the sea with each new generation [00:02:29]

Youre now just a stagnant and rancid disgrace[00:02:35]

That is rapidly drowning the whole human race [00:02:41]

And every fish that swims silent every bird that fly freely[00:02:53]

Every doe that steps softly [00:03:00]

Every crisp leaf that falls all the flowers that grow [00:03:04]

On this colorful tapestry somehow they know[00:03:11]

That if man is allowed to destroy all we need[00:03:17]

He will soon have to pay with his life for his greed[00:03:23]
