《Faraway Tom》歌词

[00:00:00] Faraway Tom - Ann Mayo Muir/Gordon Bok/Christina Muir

[00:00:19] When the calendar brings in the cuckoo

[00:00:24] And the summer comes following on

[00:00:31] And the thin mists of day see him running away

[00:00:38] And they know him as Faraway Tom

[00:00:47] The earth is his bed and his pillow

[00:00:53] And his sheets are the clothes he has on

[00:00:59] He spends all afternoon hunting the moon

[00:01:06] Till it rises for Faraway Tom

[00:01:16] He sees the fox leaving his hollow

[00:01:21] And he know where the badger is gone

[00:01:27] He watches the fawn in the sheltering thorn

[00:01:35] But they don't see old Faraway Tom

[00:01:45] He knows nothing of letters or learning

[00:01:51] And of manners and such he has none

[00:01:57] He numbers the seasons on finger and toes

[00:02:04] As they pass over Faraway Tom

[00:02:23] But what of the winters to follow

[00:02:28] Will age and cold wind bring him down

[00:02:34] And where can he lie when the snow fills the sky

[00:02:42] And the years tell on Faraway Tom

[00:03:00] When the calendar brings in the cuckoo

[00:03:05] And the summer comes following on

[00:03:11] And the thin mists of day see him running away

[00:03:19] And they know him as Faraway Tom
