Song Of The Stoic-Suzanne Vega[00:00:00]

I am a man[00:00:08]

I’ve been working all my days[00:00:10]

This is my accounting[00:00:12]

Of my means and of my ways[00:00:14]

More years are behind me now[00:00:17]

Than years that are ahead[00:00:19]

Looking back I feel[00:00:21]

This is my story to be said.[00:00:23]

I faced my father down[00:00:25]

Inside the hallway of our home[00:00:27]

18 years of pain[00:00:30]

Upon my body to the bone[00:00:31]

Demons lived inside of him[00:00:34]

They forced him to the act[00:00:36]

The layers of the bruises[00:00:38]

To my body was the fact.[00:00:40]

Ooooh[00:00:43]

I grew and went into the world[00:01:00]

I learned to know it’s code[00:01:02]

Of spoken and unspoken[00:01:04]

And I learned to love the road[00:01:06]

I shoulder every burden like[00:01:09]

A mule with a heavy pack[00:01:11]

Every coin I earn is another[00:01:13]

Knot within my back.[00:01:15]

Ecstasy and pleasure come[00:01:18]

At much too great a cost[00:01:20]

I keep myself upon the earth[00:01:22]

But measure what I’ve lost[00:01:24]

Winged things they brush against me[00:01:26]

Never mine to hold[00:01:28]

I keep my eyes upon the ground[00:01:31]

And carry on as old.[00:01:33]

Oooh[00:01:35]

I met a woman[00:02:10]

She had the gifted touch[00:02:12]

Her hands were wise with healing[00:02:14]

And with wonder and all such[00:02:16]

As the fates would have it[00:02:19]

Each to others we are wed[00:02:21]

We confine ourselves to friendship[00:02:23]

And we stay out of the bed.[00:02:25]

Now I turn around to face[00:02:27]

The specter of my age[00:02:29]

My soul it fights my body[00:02:32]

Like a bird will fight its cage.[00:02:33]

I see that last horizon[00:02:36]

I hope it brings me peace[00:02:38]

I look forward to the day[00:02:40]

At last my body knows release.[00:02:42]

Ooooh[00:02:45]

Ooooh[00:02:54]

Ooooh[00:03:03]

Ooooh[00:03:11]

Ooooh[00:03:21]

Ooooh[00:03:28]

Ooooh[00:03:45]
