History Book (Acoustic) - Dry the River[00:00:00]

Like faithful oxen through the chalk [00:00:01]

With dragging tails of history walk [00:00:06]

Soon confuse the compass and the cross [00:00:10]

Carefully and cursively[00:00:18]

Fill we our travelling diaries with with loss [00:00:22]

Beneath an angry Bible flood [00:00:35]

Did you and I first learn to love [00:00:40]

In my father's car we came to know [00:00:44]

And shivered in our painted clothes[00:00:52]

And paired like every animal below [00:00:56]

It's heavy as a history book can be [00:01:09]

I will carry it with me [00:01:13]

Oh Lord [00:01:17]

Maybe when the bitterness has gone [00:01:25]

There'll be sweetness on our tongues once more [00:01:29]

Barefoot in a rowing boat [00:01:42]

You lose your shoes and freeze your toes [00:01:46]

And say I wear my sorrow like a crown [00:01:50]

And throw your arms around my head [00:01:58]

And see it there in gold and red and brown [00:02:02]

It's heavy as a history book can be [00:02:13]

I will carry it with me [00:02:17]

Oh Lord [00:02:21]

Maybe when the bitterness has gone [00:02:29]

There'll be sweetness on our tongues once more [00:02:33]

We'll soon forget our parents' names [00:02:46]

Like dogs will drive the wolves away [00:02:53]

And weep with fingertips opposed [00:03:02]

A Like church where nobody congregates [00:03:07]

But sweetness sings in the pasture [00:03:18]

We throw ourselves on the mercy of the earth [00:03:23]

If sand and salt have the answer [00:03:26]

Then the act itself will be louder than the word[00:03:30]
