Well I’m out here on the water, just a pullin’ on the line, Got a tug just steady rollin’, and I’m workin’ overtime. The barge is full of dirt, Lord, it’s heavy as can be, But I’ve got a job to do, so you know that’s fine with me. Oh, the wake’s a-rollin' behind me, the sun is settin' low, It’s just me, the engine hummin', and the tugboat’s steady go. Towing that barge full of dirt, just another day on the sea, We’re diggin’ up the earth, movin' mountains out to sea. From the river to the ship, pullin' hard, you know it’s true, Just a tugboat, workin’ hard, me and my ol’ crew. That water’s gettin’ choppy, and the wind’s startin' to howl, But I’m holdin' steady, man, I ain’t throwin' in the towel. The river bends and the waves crash high, But that barge don’t stop, and neither do I. Oh, I’m grindin’ through the current, no matter how it sways, Just another load of dirt, it’s the job that pays. Towing that barge full of dirt, just another day on the sea, We’re diggin’ up the earth, movin' mountains out to sea. From the river to the ship, pullin' hard, you know it’s true, Just a tugboat, workin’ hard, me and my ol’ crew. And when the moonlight hits the water, and the stars start to shine, I know I’m doin' something good, even if it takes some time. I’m the backbone of the river, the engine that won’t quit, I’m a tugboat man, rollin' steady through the grit. Towing that barge full of dirt, just another day on the sea, We’re diggin’ up the earth, movin' mountains out to sea. From the river to the harbor, pullin' hard, you know it’s true, Just a tugboat, workin’ hard, me and my ol’ crew. Yeah, we’re towing that dirt… Workin’ hard, and it’s worth… Every wave, every mile, every hour in the night, Tugboat blues, but we’re doin’ it right. Oh, towing that dirt. Yeah, towing that dirt.

Through the storms and the rain, we’ll always rise, Our love lifts us so high, we touch the skies.

I still remember the way you used to smile, Like you could light up the world, even for a little while. You were ready to leave, to break free and fly. But he stole you from us, took you away, and left us asking why. You were meant to see them grow, to watch them bloom. But you’re not here, mama, you were taken too soon. (Chorus) But the butterflies, they remind me you’re near, In every flutter, in every tear. Your love is a whisper in the wind I hear, And though you’re gone, I know you’re still here. You should’ve been here, to see their eyes shine. Now I carry your love through the rest of time. He thought he could break you, thought he could win, But you were ready to leave, you were breaking that sin. You dreamed of their laughter, their futures so bright, But he stole it from you, took you out of the light. It’s not fair, mama, I don’t understand, How someone so cruel could hold your hand. You were supposed to be here, to hold them tight, To teach them love, and to spoil them right. (Chorus) But the butterflies, they remind me you’re near, In every flutter, in every tear. Your love is a whisper in the wind I hear, And though you’re gone, I know you’re still here. You should’ve been here, to see their eyes shine, Now I carry your love through the rest of time. I’ll tell them your stories, the ones you never got to share, How you were a lover, how you always cared. Every time a butterfly dances by near, I’ll know it’s you, mama, telling me your here. (Chorus) The butterflies, they remind me you’re near, In every flutter, in every tear. Your love is a whisper in the wind I hear, And though you’re gone, I know you’re still here. You should’ve been here, to see their eyes shine,Now I carry your love through the rest of time. So I’ll hold on to the moments we never got, In every butterfly, in every thought. You may be gone, but you’re never far, You’re with me always, wherever they are

生命将种子播撒在田野 命运苦涩，在嘴里咀嚼 生活的本色是灰头土脸 活了多长时间？不过是麦子又收了几年 掬一捧泥土，摘一朵麦花 皮肤早变成麦子的颜色 田垄上耕种着生活 脸上也布满了沟壑 成熟的时候，麦子低下了头 而我的生活，何时收获成熟？ 日落的方向，在山的那旁 收完了麦子，她坚定走向南方 收完了麦子，我要向南走 走完这一回，老了好回忆 收完了麦子，我要向南走 同行有天地，有风就欢喜 收完了麦子，我要向南走 活着是枷锁，生活是自由 收完了麦子，我要向南走 收完了麦子，我要向南走

[Verse] Woke up in a haze the sun don’t shine Another empty bottle another lonely line Staring at the ceiling lost in my mind These shadows on the wall they’re the company I find [Chorus] Oh I’m walking through the darkness With these ghosts I know by name In the silence of my heartache Only shadows feel the same [Verse 2] Echoes of old laughter hanging in the air Whispers of a love no longer there Chasing dreams that scatter everywhere Running from the memories I can’t bear [Chorus] Oh I’m walking through the darkness With these ghosts I know by name In the silence of my heartache Only shadows feel the same [Bridge] When the nights are long and cold And the stories all grow old I close my eyes and see the past unfold In these shadows I hold [Verse 3] The dawn is breaking but it feels the same All these reminders playing their cruel game I’m a racer in a race I can’t rename Lost in a puzzle I can never tame

[Verse] Walking down a dusty road under a sky of tangerine Thinking 'bout the nights we fought cried and everything in between Hard love's a wild storm it cuts through bone and skin It breaks you down builds you up leaves you rattling within [Verse 2] Your whispers like a hurricane your touch a lightning bolt We'd break the dawn in pieces and mend it with our hopes Hard love's a heavy chain cold as winter’s breath It grabs you tight won't let go 'til there’s nothing left [Chorus] Hard love oh hard love keeps us on our knees We rise up just to fall we beg for some release But it’s the fire in our veins the scars our hearts adore Hard love it binds us deep forever wanting more [Verse 3] Underneath the silver moon when the world is fast asleep I feel your heartbeat echoes in secrets we must keep Hard love's a bitter taste sweet with memories It tears us down but also lets us see [Bridge] In the silence of the night in the wreckage of the day We fight through fog and shadows find another way Hard love like a war cry fierce without shame It leaves us bruised and broken but never quite the same [Chorus] Hard love oh hard love keeps us on our knees We rise up just to fall we beg for some release But it’s the fire in our veins the scars our hearts adore Hard love it binds us deep forever wanting more
[Verse] Two grown men we stand here tall Brothers in arms we’ve seen it all Yet in the dark we feel so small Kindred spirits at the call [Chorus] We may be adults but still so pure Untouched hearts we hold for sure Virgin paths we'll both endure Brotherhood’s our one allure [Verse 2] In a world that's wild and free We’ve held our ground just you and me No regrets and no decree We'll find our way eventually [Chorus] We may be adults but still so pure Untouched hearts we hold for sure Virgin paths we'll both endure Brotherhood’s our one allure [Bridge] Laughing at the nights we've missed Trading dreams and reckless lists Innocence in every twist Together we will both persist [Chorus] We may be adults but still so pure Untouched hearts we hold for sure Virgin paths we'll both endure Brotherhood’s our one allure
(MALE ) In the cradle of dawn, where the river's song flows, A child sits in her garden, where the marigold grows. Her dreams are like stars, untouched by night, Her laughter like birds, in their innocent flight. Yet the wind whispers tales, of a shadowed fate, A bride in the bud, her childhood's gate. The bindis, the bangles, the red of her veil, Cover the spark that no words can unveil. Why must the bloom be plucked from its stem, Before the morning has whispered to them? Why must the anklet, so heavy and cold, Bind the young feet, before they are old? O Mother, O Father, why hasten the day, When the blossoms of youth are stolen away? Let the river of time in its own course flow, Let the child in her garden, in her innocence, grow. And one day, the world will be hers to embrace, And the shadows of the past, she will then erase. But for now, let her be, in her garden so wild, Let her live, let her breathe, for she is still a child.
