Hour Follows Hour - Lyrics by Difranco Ani


Lyrics
hour follows hour like water follows watereverything is governed by the rule of one thing leads to anotheryou can't really place blame, cuz blame is much too messysome was bound to get on you while you were trying to put it on medon't fool yourself into thinking things are simplenobody's lying and still the stories don't line upwhy do you try to hold on to what you'll never get a hold onyou wouldn't try to put the ocean in a paper cuphour follows hour like water in a riverand from one to the next we don't know what each hour will deliverwe just call it like we see it, we call it out loud as we canand then afterwards we call it all water over hre damand maybe the moral high ground isn't as high as it seemsmaybe we are both good people who've done some bad thingsi just hope it was o.k., i know it wasn't prefecti hope in the end we can laugh and say it was all worth itwe make our own gravity to give weight to thingsand then things fall and they break and gravity thingswe can only hold so much is what i figurewe try and keep our eye on the big picture and the picture keeps getting biggertoo much is how i love you but too well is how i know youi've got nothing to prove this time, just something to show youi guess i just wanted you to seethat it was all worth it to me
