Hour Follows Hour - Ani DiFranco

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
