Stones In The Road (Album Version) - Mary Chapin Carpenter (玛丽翠萍·卡本特)[00:00:00]

Written by：Mary Chapin Carpenter/John Jennings[00:00:03]

When we are young we plege to legents[00:00:30]

Every morning of our lives[00:00:34]

The classroom rang with children's voices[00:00:37]

Under teacher's watchful eye[00:00:41]

We learned about the world around us[00:00:44]

At our desks and at dinnertime[00:00:48]

Reminded of the starving children[00:00:52]

We cleaned our plates with guilty minds[00:00:55]

And the stones in the road[00:01:00]

Shone like diamonds in the dust[00:01:03]

And then a voice called to us[00:01:07]

To make our way back home[00:01:10]

When I was ten my father held me[00:01:14]

On his shoulders above the crowd[00:01:18]

To see a train draped in mourning[00:01:21]

Pass slowly through our town[00:01:25]

His widow kneeled with all their children[00:01:29]

At the sacred burial ground[00:01:32]

And the TV glowed that long hot summer[00:01:36]

With all the cities burning down[00:01:40]

And the stones in the road[00:01:43]

Flew out beneath our bicycle tires[00:01:47]

Worlds removed from all those fires[00:01:51]

As we raced each other home[00:01:54]

And now we drink our coffee on the run[00:02:27]

We climb that ladder rung by rung[00:02:30]

We are the daughters and the sons[00:02:34]
