Hour Follows Hour Lyrics by Ani DiFranco

Hour Follows Hour Lyrics

    hour follows hour
    like water follows water
    everything is governed by the rule
    of one thing leads to another
    you can't really place blame
    cuz blame is much to messy
    some was bound to get on you
    while you were tryin to put it on me
    and don't fool yourself
    into thinking things are simple
    nobody's lying still the stories don't line up
    why do you try to hold on
    to what you'll never get a hold on
    you wouldn't try to put the ocean
    in a paper cup
    cuz i have had something to prove
    as long as i know thers something
    that needs improvment
    and you know that every time i move
    i make a woman's movement
    and first you decide
    what you've gotta do
    then you go out and do it
    and maybe the most we can do
    then you go out and do it
    and maybe the most we can do
    is just to see eachother through it
    hour follows hour like water in a river
    and from one to the next
    we don't know what each hour will deliver
    we just call it like we see it
    call it out loud as we can
    and then afterwards we call it all water over the dam
    maybe the moral higher ground
    ain't as high as it seems
    maybe we are both good people
    done some bad things
    i just hope it was okay
    i know it wasn't perfect
    i hope in the end we can laugh
    and say it was all worth it
    cuz i have had something to prove
    as long as i know something
    that needs improvement
    and you know that everytime i move
    i make a woman's movement
    and first you decide what you've gotta do
    then you go out and do it
    and maybe the most that we can do
    is just to see eachother through it
    we make our own gravity to give weight to things
    then things fall and they break and gravity sings
    we can only hold so much is what i figure
    try and keep our eye on the big picture
    picture keeps getting bigger
    and too much is how i love you
    but too well is how i know you
    and i've got nothing to prove this time
    just something to show you
    i guess i just wanted you to see
    that it was all worth it to me
