歌曲歌詞
I remember
The promise
That you made in
The barn
When the kittens
Were born
And you could not
Keep warm
So you moved away
The mountain
That the sun rose behind
You said yourself
A prayer
Laid down with the blind
You lost them in your freedom
You need him now
You're wild
Blessed is the memory
Of everybody's child
And the vow of compassion
That you swore through your teeth
When the war began to end
And the photographs weep
Well nobody blames you
As the train pulls away
With it's cargo of snow
For these German paper weights
You lost them in your freedom
You need him now
You're wild
Blessed is the memory
Of everybody's child
Well it's five in the morning
There's no one home
Except for your wife
And your child on the phone
Somebody's got to listen
To a promise or two
Oh this room is far too small
For a pilgrim like you
You lost them in your freedom
You need him now
You're wild
Blessed is the memory
Of everybody's child
Ohhh
Ohhh
So now that you've decided
To follow the sun
Like a shadow of birds
Or a King on the run
Oh your chains are too dark
For the seas you must swim
You're smiling at the seaweed
But your smile is too grim
You lost them in your freedom
You need him now you're wild
Blessed is the memory
Of everybody's child
Blessed is the memory
Of everybody's child
Blessed is the memory
Of everybody's child
Blessed is the memory
Of everybody's child
Blessed is the memory
Of everybody's child
Blessed is the memory
Of everybody's child
Blessed is the memory
Of everybody's child
Blessed is the memory
Of everybody's child
Blessed is the memory
Of everybody's child
Blessed is the memory
Of everybody's child
Blessed is the memory
Of everybody's child
