Tapestry-Don McLean

[ti:Tapestry] [ar:Don McLean] [al:Tapestry] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]Tapestry - Don McLean (唐·麦克林) [00:13.95]Every thread of creation is held in position [00:18.57] [00:20.07]By still other strands of things living [00:22.62] [00:24.87]In an earthly tapestry hung from the skyline [00:28.75] [00:29.50]Of smoldering cities so gray and so vulgar [00:34.47] [00:35.96]As not to be satisfied with their own negativity [00:39.65] [00:41.21]But needing to touch all the living as well [00:44.89] [00:52.56]And every breeze that blows kindly is one crystal breath [00:57.64] [00:58.33]We exhale on the blue diamond heaven: [01:01.45] [01:03.81]As gentle to touch as the hands of the healer [01:07.61] [01:09.36]As soft as farewells whispered over the coffin [01:13.17] [01:15.04]Were poisoned by venom with each breath we take [01:18.97] [01:20.65]From the brown sulfer chimney and the black highway snake [01:27.97] [01:34.34]And every dawn that breaks golden is held in suspension [01:39.39] [01:40.51]Like the yolk of the egg in albumen [01:43.82] [01:45.94]Where the birth and the death of unseen generations [01:49.81] [01:51.49]Are interdependant in vast orchestration [01:54.80] [01:56.36]And painted in colors of tapestry thread [01:59.67] [02:01.48]When the dying are born and the living are dead [02:09.41] [02:12.78]And every pulse of your heartbeat is one liquid moment [02:18.08]That flows through the veins of your being [02:21.39] [02:23.64]Like a river of life flowing on since creation [02:28.25] [02:29.81]Approaching the sea with each new generation [02:33.49] [02:35.05]Youre now just a stagnant and rancid disgrace [02:39.74] [02:41.11]That is rapidly drowning the whole human race [02:45.98] [02:53.15]And every fish that swims silent every bird that fly freely [02:58.89] [03:00.14]Every doe that steps softly [03:02.45] [03:04.95]Every crisp leaf that falls all the flowers that grow [03:09.50] [03:11.37]On this colorful tapestry somehow they know [03:15.68] [03:17.37]That if man is allowed to destroy all we need [03:21.86] [03:23.23]He will soon have to pay with his life for his greed
