《Matamoros Banks》歌词

[00:00:07] For two days the river keeps you down

[00:00:14] Then you rise to the light without a sound

[00:00:21] Past the playgrounds and empty switching yards

[00:00:27] The turtles eat the skin from your eyes, so they lay open to the stars

[00:00:36] Your clothes give way to the current and river stone

[00:00:42] 'Till every trace of who you ever were is gone

[00:00:49] And the things of the earth they make their claim

[00:00:56] That the things of heaven may do the same

[00:01:05] Goodbye, my darling, for your love I give God thanks,

[00:01:11] Meet me on the Matamoros

[00:01:16] Meet me on the Matamoros

[00:01:18] Meet me on the Matamoros banks

[00:01:24] Over rivers of stone and ancient ocean beds

[00:01:31] I walk on sandals of twine and tire tread

[00:01:38] My pockets full of dust, my mouth filled with cool stone

[00:01:45] The pale moon opens the earth to its bones

[00:01:53] I long, my darling, for your kiss, for your sweet love I give God thanks

[00:02:06] The touch of your loving fingertips

[00:02:13] Meet me on the Matamoros

[00:02:18] Meet me on the Matamoros

[00:02:20] Meet me on the Matamoros banks

[00:02:34] Your sweet memory comes on the evenin' wind

[00:02:41] I sleep and dream of holding you in my arms again

[00:02:49] The lights of Brownsville, across the river shine

[00:02:56] A shout rings out and into the silty red river I dive

[00:03:05] I long, my darling, for your kiss, for your sweet love I give God thanks

[00:03:19] A touch of your loving fingertips

[00:03:26] Meet me on the Matamoros

[00:03:29] Meet me on the Matamoros

[00:03:32] Meet me on the Matamoros banks

[00:03:40] Meet me on the Matamoros

[00:03:45] Meet me on the Matamoros

[00:03:48] Meet me on the Matamoros banks
