Before The Deluge-Joan Baez

[ti:Before The Deluge] [ar:Joan Baez] [al:Honest Lullaby] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]Before The Deluge - Joan Baez (琼·贝兹) [00:19.26]Some of them were dreamers [00:21.68] [00:23.20]And some of them were fools [00:26.88]Who were making plans and thinking of the future [00:33.07] [00:35.10]With the energy of the innocent [00:39.20]They were gathering the tools [00:43.64]They would need to make their journey back to nature [00:50.65] [00:52.24]While the sand slipped through the opening [00:56.38]And their hands reached for the golden ring [01:00.59]With their hearts they turned to each other's heart for refuge [01:07.82] [01:09.43]In the troubled years that came before the deluge [01:15.65] [01:18.68]Some of them knew pleasure [01:22.85]And some of them knew pain [01:26.40]And for some of them it was only the moment that mattered [01:31.96] [01:34.78]And on the brave and crazy wings of youth [01:39.05]They went flying around in the rain [01:43.03]And their feathers once so fine grew torn and tattered [01:50.06] [01:51.49]And in the end they traded their tired wings [01:55.56]For the resignation that living brings [01:59.87]And exchanged love's bright and fragile glow [02:04.56]For the glitter and the rouge [02:07.47] [02:09.29]And in the moment they were swept before the deluge [02:15.98]Now let the music keep our spirits high [02:23.39] [02:24.76]And let the buildings keep our children dry [02:30.32] [02:30.85]Let creation reveal it's secrets by and by [02:35.40] [02:38.24]By and by [02:41.45] [02:42.69]When the light that's lost within us reaches the sky [02:49.61] [02:52.27]Some of them were angry [02:55.67]At the way the earth was abused [02:59.64]By the men who learned how to forge her beauty into power [03:05.79] [03:08.50]And they struggled to protect her from them [03:13.03]Only to be confused [03:17.00]By the magnitude of her fury in the final hour [03:25.35]And when the sand was gone and the time arrived [03:29.77]In the naked dawn only a few survived [03:34.06]And in attempts to understand a thing so simple and so huge [03:42.24]Believed that they were meant to live after the deluge [03:49.07] [03:49.85]Now let the music keep our spirits high [03:54.99] [03:58.52]And let the buildings keep our children dry [04:04.58]Let creation reveal it's secrets by and by [04:11.95]By and by [04:15.66] [04:16.33]When the light that's lost within us reaches the sky
