Luyện nghe bài hát Belated Promise Ring

Sunday morning my Rebecca's in with me again
a kid outside the church kicking a can

when the ceder branches she turns her collar to the wind
the can close the world within its hands

and my mother Rebecca is as stubborn as the come
they both call me to me with words i knew

there's a bug inside the thimble a band-aid on her thumb
and a pony in the river blue

they say time may give you more than your poor bones could ever
my Rebecca says she wants a boy

to be on the driveway as they wave and ride away
to run inside and curse the open door

i once gave to my Rebecca a belated ring
and she sold it to the one a train

i may find her by the booth with a fashion magazine
she may kiss me when her girlfriends leave

they say time may give you more your poor bones could ever take
i think i could never love another

to be free atop a tree stump and to the other way
while she shines my mother's imitation

sunday evening, my Rebecca's lost a book she read
and the moon already into the sea

so the statues of our fathers in the flowerbed
now they blend with all the tattered trees

say time may give you more then your poor bones could ever take
my said she knew i'd want a boy

a dollar for my boardwalk red balloon to float
she would a pocketful to buy me more
