The Giant Leaps歌词,只有前六首

02.The morning light
This morning, sunlight broke through my window
I watched it fracture apart overhead
I saw the colors dance straight up my wall
To the ceiling above my bed
And then the reds split up to a pair of lips
And the yellows made your hair
Then your eyes... darlin’, oh, your eyes...
And now you’re everywhere
In the morning light
I miss you more than words can say
So if I could prove it to you, I would
I’d find a way to paint me up there next to you
Before the sun decides to hide your bright blue eyes back behind my bed
I fell asleep, but I woke up to you instead
With your perfection gleaming above me
In the light brought in with the dawn
I’ll let the day pass by as you climb on down
And you lay there with me, without a sound, but
In the morning light
I miss you more than words can say
But here I’m trying to sing them anyway
So if I could prove it to you, I would,
I’d find a way to paint me up there next to you
Before the sun decides to hide your bright blue eyes back behind my bed
I fell asleep, but I woke up to you instead
In the light, as the room glows softly with your grace
I will open the door to you
And set out in the world with my heart ablaze, anew
So if I could prove it to you, I would
I’d find a way to paint me up there next to you
Before the sun decides to hide your bright blue eyes back behind my bed
I fell asleep, but I woke up to you instead


03.American moon
I heard my lady in white sing out in the woods
But there in the summer air I was frozen where I stood
because witches hide behind the trees
They laugh at delicate bones in this sunken skin
The body of a fragile man I’m feeling trapped in
But I can see my hands begin to change
I open up underneath an American moon
I’ll be beside her singing with her soon
I’ve breached these forest walls in front of me before.
I’ll be hers soon
‘Cause I’m the same
Though all of the features of my face have changed
And I can feel no pain
So throw them all away
All your silver bullets and all your strongest chains
The sight of me may have changed
But the inside stays the same
I walk alone in the night following her sound.
The light of a thousand enchantments illuminate the ground
Everything evil cowers away
I enter into the field that she’s singing from
Don’t want her to turn away and run
With all of the softness in my voice I’ll find a way to say
That I’m the same
Though all of the features of my face have changed
And I can feel no pain
So throw them all away
All your silver bullets and all your strongest chains
The sight of me may have changed
But the inside stays the same
And now she turns to face me there
She stops singing and stares and I am scared
But without a word she floats across the grass
And puts her ivory hand inside of mine
‘Cause I’m the same
Though all of the features of my face have changed
And I can feel no pain
So throw them all away
All your silver bullets and all your strongest chains
The sight of me may have changed
But the inside stays the same
But the inside stays the same
But the inside stays the same


04.The backs of his hands (Hallelujah!)
He had a black book wrapped in his little hands
Its binding was frayed with age
It kept his heart held safe when the backs of his hands seemed strange
He knew that top shelf better than he knew himself
It gave him strength to face the day
But then he lost his pride when his mother died
And as the church bells rang, still he sang
“Hallelujah” to everyone
“Hallelujah” like never before
“Hallelujah” to all of the memories that made him miss her more
A couple years went by before he said goodbye
And the pages continued to turn
He had them memorized, every single line
That his mother had taught him to sing
And it sounded like
“Hallelujah” to everyone
“Hallelujah” like never before
“Hallelujah” to all of the shining seas, and all of their shining shores
And when the image of his mother is gracing his sleeping thoughts
In the morning he wakes and prays all the things that he dreamt of
All because he never once thought of happiness as compromising his fears
Some day he’ll love again and all the lessons she taught him then will appear…

05.Useless
If I were a seed
Would you be the sun that lets me grow into a tree?
If I were a boat
Would you be the wind to catch my sail to send me home?
If I were a song
Would you be the voice that sings me out into the world, slow and strong?
If I were a book
Would you be the dog-eared pages saved for a second look?
If I were a pen
Would you be the hand that picks me up to write again?
And if I were a song
Would you be the voice that sings me out to the world?
Or else I’d be useless like a nest without a bird.
But I’m just a boy who knows a girl
Who knows her way around the world in her palm…

06.The Giant Leaps
If I condense my words into a song
Could your courage finally come?
How could I get it to stay inside your frame
Like a ship inside that bottle?
With grace and speed I’d then proceed
To fold it by its seems
And then I’d push it down your throat
And let it settle where your heart used to be
‘Cause I believe in you, do you believe in you?
Just say, “even if my love is thrown away
Then I will build it back again one day
And even if my love is thrown away
Then I will overcome and bravely say
‘I won’t let myself be afraid’”
See, I was taking baby steps
To get where I needed to be
But I let the courage lead to giant leaps
And it brought that girl to me
Now everything she touches turns to gold
And flowers grow in her footsteps
Every word is wise, every tear she cries
Is an ocean on my map
I swear I believe in you, do you believe in you?
Just say, “even if my love is thrown away
Then I will build it back again one day
And even if my love is thrown away
Then I will overcome and bravely say
‘I won’t let myself be afraid’
‘I won’t let myself be afraid’”
And I’ve been saying I believe in you
But do you believe in you too?
Wedding bells won’t ring until you break your shell
And learn to love yourself
And then even if your love is thrown away
Then you will build it back again one day
And even if your love is thrown away
Then you will overcome and bravely say
You won’t let yourself be afraid

07. A History of Weather By Billy Collins
With a book laying open on my chest
And my jacket bunched into a pillow
And I lay in swaying grass
And watch hundreds of clouds pass from the world below
And I wonder if I've got the lungs to move them to you
Cause every move I make is for moving towards you
And now I've got a song to prove it to you over and over again
I see some animal shapes
And enormous faces smiling at me in the grass
Then I watch as airplanes fly through their white frames
Can you imagine moving that fast?
And I wonder if I've got the lungs to move them to you
Cause every move I make is for moving towards you
And now I've got a song to prove it to you
Over and over and over and overagain.
And I wonder if I've got the lungs to move them to you
Cause every move I make is for moving towards you oh x4

08.My Second Life
When I die
You’ll awake in the dead of night
To see me floating over your bed
Dressed in white
I’ll float on down across your room
Through the light that’s flooding in from the hallway
To be with you
On that night
I’ll wipe the tears from your eyes
But my icy hands will only just freeze them
I’ll apologize
For the coolness of my touch
And the creaking chains that scrape through the silence
I’ll whisper quietly the songs we used to sing
Before I join the creaking sounds in your ceiling
I’m singing
Oh, I hope that heaven isn’t too far away
Just know, my love, there’s absolutely no reason to cry
If they don’t open up the gates to let me in
Will you stay in between with me where one life ends
And my second life begins?
Take my hand
And I will make you smile again
As I lift you up to dance on the ceiling
Shut your eyes
And feel those stars beneath your feet
And press your ear to where my heart isn’t beating
Because my ghost will disappear in the daylight
But I’ll be looking down upon you every night
You’ll be alright
Oh, I hope that heaven isn’t too far away
Just know, my love, there’s absolutely no reason to cry
If they don’t open up the gates to let me in
Will you stay in between with me where one life ends
And my second life begins?
If they don’t open up the gates to let me in
Will you stay between with me where one life ends?
Replace my chains with wings and join the choir
Singing “hallelujah”, darling, nothing has to end
Oh, I hope that heaven isn’t too far away
Just know, my love, there’s absolutely no reason to cry
Because I’m always by your side
