Artist：dry the river[00:00:01]

Songs Title：history book[00:00:02]

Like faithful oxen through the chalk [00:00:17]

With dragging tails of history walk [00:00:22]

Soon confuse the compass and the cross [00:00:26]

Carefully and cursively we fill our travelling diaries with loss [00:00:33]

Beneath an angry Bible flood [00:00:50]

Did you and I first learn to love [00:00:55]

In my father's car we came to know [00:00:59]

And shivered in our painted clothes and paired like every animal below [00:01:06]

As heavy as a history book can be [00:01:23]

I will carry it with me oh Lord [00:01:27]

And maybe when the bitterness has gone [00:01:39]

There'll be sweetness on our tongues once more [00:01:42]

Barefoot in a rowing boat [00:01:55]

You lose your shoes and freeze your toes [00:01:58]

And say I wear my sorrow like a crown [00:02:03]

And throw your arms around my head and see it there in gold and red and brown [00:02:10]

As heavy as a history book can be [00:02:24]

I will carry it with me oh Lord [00:02:28]

And maybe when the bitterness has gone [00:02:40]

There'll be sweetness on our tongues once more [00:02:43]

We'll soon forget our parents' names [00:02:55]

Like dogs will drive the wolves away [00:03:02]

And weep with fingertips opposed [00:03:10]

Like a church where nobody congregates [00:03:15]

But sweetness sings in the pasture [00:03:25]

We throw ourselves on the mercy of the earth [00:03:29]

If sand and salt have the answer [00:03:33]

Then the act itself will be louder than the word [00:03:36]

And I'll be on your side[00:03:40]
