The One Who Knows — текст песни (Dar Williams)

Time it was I had a dream
And you`re the dream come true
And if I had the world to give
I`d give it all to you.
I`ll take you to the mountains
I will take you to the sea
I`ll show you how this life became
A miracle to me.

You`ll fly away
but take my hand until that day
So when they ask how far love goes
When my job`s done, you`ll be the one who knows.

All the things you treasure most
Will be the hardest one
I will watch you struggle on
For the answers come
But I won`t make it harder
I`ll be there to cheer you up
I`ll shine the light that guides you down
The road you`re walking on

You`ll fly away
but take my hand until that day
So when they ask how far love goes
When my job`s done, you`ll be the one who knows.

Before the mountains call to you
Before you leave this home
When I teach your heart to trust
As I will teach my own
But sometimes I will ask the moon
Where it shined upon you last
And shake my head and let me say
It all went by so fast

You`ll fly away
but take my hand until that day
So when they ask how far love goes
When my job`s done, you`ll be the one who knows.
