Chanson de Bob Dylan (1984) ; reprise notamment par : EmmyLou Harris …<br />Ma version acoustique chant accompagnement guitare et harmo en D.<br />Every grain of sand<br />Chaque grain de sable<br /><br />In the time of my confession, in the hour of my deepest need<br /><br />When the pool of tears beneath my feet flood every newborn seed<br /><br />There's a dyin' voice within me reaching out somewhere,<br /><br />Toiling in the danger and in the morals of despair.<br /><br />Don't have the inclination to look back on any mistake,<br /><br />Like Cain, I now behold this chain of events that I must break.<br /><br />In the fury of the moment I can see the Master's hand<br /><br />In every leaf that trembles and, in every grain of sand.<br /><br />Oh, the flowers of indulgence and the weeds of yesteryear,<br /><br />Like criminals, they have choked the breath of conscience and good cheer.<br /><br />The sun beat down upon the steps of time to light the way<br /><br />To ease the pain of idleness and the memory of decay.<br /><br />I gaze into the doorway of temptation's angry flame<br /><br />And every time I pass that way I always hear my name.<br /><br />Then onward in my journey I come to understand<br /><br />That every hair is numbered like every grain of sand.<br /><br />I have gone from rags to riches in the sorrow of the night<br /><br />In the violence of a summer's dream, in the chill of a wintry light,<br /><br />In the bitter dance of loneliness fading into space,<br /><br />In the broken mirror of innocence on each forgotten face.<br /><br />I hear the ancient footsteps like the motion of the sea<br /><br />Sometimes I turn, there's someone there, other times it's only me.<br /><br />I am hanging in the balance of a perfect finished plan<br /><br />Like every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand<br /><br />Bob Dylan ( Album : “Biograph” ; 1985 )
