Wild Places (LP版)

Wild Places (LP版) - Peter, Paul & Mary (彼得、保羅和瑪麗)

Silence slips between us

Solitude complete

The stillness clear

And close as heaven's door

The earth beats out its rhythm

In slow and perfect time

Counterpoint and harmonies

Life's melodies entwine

And we fight the battle here

Where there's time to fall in step

The secrets are still known here

But the secrets never kept

Wild places, somewhere

We can see the Father's hand

Wild places, somewhere

We can be alone with you

We need a promised land

Maybe we'll be wounded in the healing

It's to be broken to be sure

Can we embrace

This strange awakening together?

Is wisdom carved into creation?

The old relationships defined

As forbidding as her truth may be

We'll learn her ways with time

We'll learn to take it as it comes

We can't change faster than we can

Already we're a long way

From the children we began

Wild places, somewhere

We can see the Father's hand

Wild places, somewhere

We can be alone with you

We need a promised land

Wood smoke rising

Faces alive in the firelight

Forsaking the road

And making it home to be there tonight

The young making good what they found

In the wood, what they learned of a land

Putting dreams back together

Talking it through, reaching out for the hand

There's a moment caught suspended

Communion born between our eyes

Our vision clears

Its golden flight ascending

And we have seen what we have come for

And we will some day see again

But we have climbed into the mountains

So we must climb back down 'til then

But we'll take it as it is crazy

With love and disbelief

And the magic of your morning

The wilderness, the peace

Wild places, somewhere

We can the Father's hand

Wild places, somewhere

We can be alone with you

We need a promised land

We need a promised land
