《The Grave》歌词

[00:00:00] The Grave (坟墓) - Don McLean (唐·麦克林)

[00:00:00] The grave that they dug him had flowers

[00:00:06] Gathered from the hillsides in bright summer colours

[00:00:11] And the brown earth bleached white at the edge of his gravestone

[00:00:16] He's gone

[00:00:28] When the wars of our nation did beckon

[00:00:33] A man barely twenty did answer the calling

[00:00:38] Proud of the trust that he placed in our nation

[00:00:42] He's gone

[00:00:45] But eternity knows him

[00:00:48] And it knows what we've done

[00:00:55] And the rain fell like pearls

[00:00:58] On the leaves of the flowers

[00:01:02] Leaving brown muddy clay

[00:01:05] Where the earth had been dry

[00:01:09] And deep in the trench

[00:01:12] He waited for hours

[00:01:15] As he held to his rifle

[00:01:19] And prayed not to die

[00:01:23] But the silence of night

[00:01:26] Was shattered by fire

[00:01:29] As guns and grenades

[00:01:31] Blasted sharp through the air

[00:01:36] One after another

[00:01:38] His comrades were slaughtered

[00:01:42] In morgue of marines

[00:01:45] Alone standing there

[00:01:49] He crouched ever lower

[00:01:51] Ever lower with fear

[00:01:54] They can't let me die

[00:01:57] They can't let me die here

[00:02:00] I'll cover myself

[00:02:03] With the mud and the earth

[00:02:06] I'll cover myself

[00:02:09] I know I'm not brave

[00:02:12] The earth

[00:02:14] The earth

[00:02:15] The earth is my grave

[00:02:49] The grave that they dug him had flowers

[00:02:54] Gathered from the hillsides in bright summer colours

[00:03:00] And the brown earth bleached white at the edge of his gravestone

[00:03:07] He's gone
