Текст (слова) песни: Indigo Girls - All That We Let In

Words and music by Emily Saliers

Oooooooo
Oooooooo
Oooooooo

Dust in our eyes our own boots kicked up
Heartsick we nursed along the way we picked up
You may not see it when its sticking to your skin
But were better off for all that we let in

Lost friends and loved ones much too young
So much promises and work left undone
When all that guards us is a single centerline
And the brutal crossing over when its time

Oooooooo
(I dont know where it all begins)
Oooooooo
(And I dont know where it all will end)
Oooooooo
(Were better off for all that we let in)

One day those toughies will be withered up and bent
The father son the holy warriors and the president
With glory days of put up dukes for all the world to see
Beaten into submission in the name of the free

Were in a nevolution I have heard it said
Everyones so busy now but do we move ahead
The planets hurting and atoms splitting
And a sweater for your love you sit there knitting

Oooooooo
(I dont know where it all begins)
Oooooooo
(And I dont know where it all will end)
Oooooooo
(Were better off for all that we let in)

See those crosses on the side of the road
Tied with ribbons in the medium
They make me grateful I can go this far
Lay me down and never wake me up again

Kat writes a poem and she sticks it on my truck
We dont believe in war and we dont believe in luck
The birds were calling to her what were they saying
As the gate blew open the tops of the trees were swaying

Ive passed the cemetery walk my dog down there
I read the names in stone and say a silent prayer
When I get home youre cooking supper on the stove
And the greatest gift of life is to know love

Oooooooo
(I dont know where it all begins)
Oooooooo
(And I dont know where it all will end)
Oooooooo
(Were better off for all that we let in)
