Before And After - Carrie Newcomer/Mary Chapin Carpenter (玛丽翠萍·卡本特)[00:00:00]

The dust settles after a hit and run[00:00:12]

Bewildered by the damage done[00:00:18]

I don't know why we choose the roads we travel[00:00:24]

Or how a life could get so unraveled[00:00:30]

We live our lives from then until now[00:00:40]

By the mercies received over the mark upon our brow[00:00:45]

To my heart I'll collect what the four winds will scatter[00:00:51]

And frame my life by before and after[00:00:58]

Once a trick of light made me believe[00:01:07]

A red fire was blazing from every tree[00:01:13]

We held hands as the evening gathered[00:01:20]

I forgave myself for what I didn't ask her[00:01:26]

Once I saw the sky filled with falling stars[00:01:35]

Bumped my head in the dark and it left a scar[00:01:41]

Held on too tight before I let it go[00:01:48]

Then forgave myself for what I didn't know[00:01:53]

We live our lives from then until now[00:02:03]

By the mercies received over the mark upon our brow[00:02:08]

To my heart I'll collect what the four winds will scatter[00:02:15]

And frame my life by before and after[00:02:21]

I've stretched my soul over fifty states[00:02:30]

I have lived on fumes and religious cornflakes[00:02:36]

And once I dreamt my shoes had grown thin and battered[00:02:42]

And forgave myself for what didn't matter[00:02:49]

God said cain where is your brother[00:02:58]

And who will tell his grieving mother[00:03:05]

Jacob dreamt an angel called his name[00:03:11]

And he never was quite the same[00:03:17]

We live our lives from then until now[00:03:26]

By the mercies received over the mark upon our brow[00:03:31]

To my heart I'll collect what the four winds will scatter[00:03:38]

And frame my life by before and after[00:03:44]
