The Hardest Word
(专辑: Electric Landlady - 1991)
With me in the
valley you out on the
hill I
can just see you if I
close my eyes Climbing those mountains I
picture you still I
see your smile just as I
saw the
sunrise This land is ancient it's built out of bones At war with each other, the
mother, the
father The
sisters, the
brothers, the
daughters and sons Be kind to each other, your father, your mother On the
horizon the
eagles are flying And I
mean no more than a
cloud in the
sky I
never know if I'm laughing or crying The
hardest word is the
word goodbye Teach me the
old ways I'm ready to learn Be kind to the
sister, be kind to the
brother The
writer, the
singer, the
poet, the
clown Be good to the
man and be kind to them all And we are ancient built from bones Make time for the
young and make time for the
old Be kind to each other oh that's what I
know Be kind to the
mothers, daughters and sons The
true and the
great and the
scared and the
small Be kind to each other, be kind to them all Forgive our indignity and we forgive yours As I
am the
mother, you are the
father Entwined in each other, now and forever The
fathers of daughters, the
mothers of sons Forever and ever and ever as one As we are the
fathers, we are the
sons And we are the
daughters, the
mothers and brothers Forever and ever and ever as one
