Family Hands - Mary Chapin Carpenter (玛丽翠萍·卡本特)[00:00:00]

Last Sunday we got in the car and we drove[00:00:07]

To the town you were raised in your boyhood home[00:00:12]

The trees were just turning[00:00:20]

Up on the ridge[00:00:23]

And this was your valley[00:00:26]

When you were a kid[00:00:29]

You showed me the railroad that your daddy worked on[00:00:33]

As we neared the old house where your granny lives on[00:00:39]

She's nearing ninety years now with her daughters by her side[00:00:46]

Who tend the places in the heart where loneliness can hide[00:00:52]

Raised by the women who are stronger than you know[00:00:59]

A patchwork quilt of memory only women could have sewn[00:01:05]

The threads were stitched by family hands protected from the moth[00:01:12]

By your mother[00:01:18]

And her mother[00:01:20]

The weavers of your cloth[00:01:22]

Your grandmother owned a gun in 1932[00:01:31]

When times were bad just everywhere you said she used it too[00:01:37]

And the life and times of everyone are traced inside their palms[00:01:44]

Her skin may be so weathered but her grip[00:01:50]

Is still so strong[00:01:54]

And I see your eyes belong to her and too[00:01:57]

Your mama too[00:02:01]

A slice of virginia sky the clearest shade of blue[00:02:04]

Raised by the women who are stronger than you know[00:02:24]

A patchwork quilt of memory only women could have sewn[00:02:30]

The threads were stitched by family hands protected from the moth[00:02:37]

By your mother[00:02:43]

And her mother[00:02:44]

The weavers of your cloth[00:02:47]

And a rich man you might never be they'd[00:03:19]

Love you just the same[00:03:23]

They've handed down so much to you besides your Christian name[00:03:26]

And the spoken word won't heal you like the[00:03:32]

Laying on of hands[00:03:36]

Belonging to the ones who raised you to a man[00:03:39]

Raised by the women who are stronger than you know[00:03:46]

A patchwork quilt of memory only women could have sewn[00:03:52]

The threads were stitched by family hands protected from the moth[00:03:59]

By your mother[00:04:05]

And her mother[00:04:07]

The weavers of your cloth[00:04:09]
