Lyrics Hour Follows Hour - Ani DiFranco

Hour Follows Hour

Hour follows hour
Like water follows water
Everything is governed by the rule
Of one thing leads to another
You cant 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 dont fool yourself
Into thinking things are simple
Nobodys lying still the stories dont line up Why do you try to hold on To what youll never get a hold on You wouldnt 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 womans movement
And first you decide
What youve 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 dont 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
Aint as high as it seems
Maybe we are both good people
Done some bad things
I just hope it was okay
I know it wasnt 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 womans movement
And first you decide what youve 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 Ive 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
