To the tall trembling trees

2016

Hunting season


When I was really young I lived in this tiny town called
Wilkinson in Washington state.
It is at the base of a giant, snowy mountain that you could
see from the windows of the school bus and your classroom
and even your bedroom windows.
And people were always saying it was going to erupt any day,
so once a month we'd have to get under our desks in
preparation.
And the school bus used to drive by this old metal boat that
was sort of abandoned in a cow pasture.
I always used to daydream that when the mountain exploded
that I would get in the boat and I'd be save from the lava
and I could go to my mother's work and pick her up and we
would ride somewhere.
I was never sure where we would go but anywhere that was
safe...

He took one to the lake and he fell like a pine
The doe no longer wide-eyed and a love not mine
We both have made mistakes in this war that's our life
The doe no longer wide-eyed, my dear, my wife

I'm not like you, would have let him walk away
You took your aim and my eyes became two caves, caves

He almost got away, left to bleed in our minds
The doe no longer wide-eyed in a blood like wine
We both have tried to fake all the joy in our lives
The doe no longer wide-eyed, my dear, my wife

I'm not like you, would have let him walk away
You took your aim and my eyes became two caves
I'm not like you, would have let him walk away
You took your aim and my eyes became to caves, caves

Ooooooo oooo oooo

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Fences è un'opera teatrale scritta da August Wilson, considerata uno dei capolavori del drammaturgo e della letteratura teatrale afroamericana. È il sesto dramma del ciclo di Pittsburgh, iniziato nel 1982 con *Jitney* e culminato nel 2005 con *Radio Golf*. Fences debuttò nel 1983 al Yale Repertory Theatre prima di andare in scena a Broadway nel 1988. L'opera ha vinto il Premio Pulitzer per la drammaturgia e il Tony Award alla migliore opera teatrale, consolidando Wilson come uno dei più importanti autori americani del XX secolo. L'opera esplora temi come razzismo, disuguaglianza sociale, mascolinità e famiglia all'interno della comunità afroamericana di Pittsburgh negli anni '50. Il protagonista, Troy Maxson, è un ex giocatore di baseball che lotta per trovare il suo posto nel mondo dopo una carriera interrotta a causa del colore della sua pelle. Tra i brani più rappresentativi dell'opera teatrale figurano *Rose*, *Troy* e *Cory*.
