《The Deader》歌词

[00:00:01] The Deader - Two Gallants

[00:00:23] So now let me tell you about this girl of mine

[00:00:29] Hard like all men's dreams in the days of '49

[00:00:34] I turn hollow no me more swallow

[00:00:37] Fast only she breaks

[00:00:40] But distance keeps her miles or meters

[00:00:43] What difference does it make

[00:00:46] 'Cause here they come again to repossess my dreams

[00:00:51] Child don't play yourself things are never what they seem

[00:00:57] A bridge a river a pale moon sliver city shines

[00:01:01] So bright

[00:01:02] But to my despair I return where they sleep out

[00:01:06] Every night

[00:01:09] But the girl I love is oh so oh so

[00:01:13] Far away

[00:01:16] And I wonder can she hear me as I go

[00:01:20] Through my day

[00:01:24] Oh now the ragin' sea she laps upon my door

[00:01:29] I'll round a thousand horns just to drown upon her

[00:01:33] Shore

[00:01:35] Blood red roses go down moses oh billowin' sails

[00:01:40] Those so weak willed guts all sea filled throw them

[00:01:44] O'er the rails

[00:01:47] Boys slacken up the jib and sing a hearty song

[00:01:52] We've been driftin' driftin' for far too long

[00:01:58] I take no care me I'm so bare breasted on

[00:02:01] The bow

[00:02:03] Scabbed and weathered skin of leather who's the deader now

[00:02:10] But the girl I love is oh so oh so

[00:02:14] Far away

[00:02:16] And I wonder can she hear me as I go

[00:02:20] Through my day

[00:02:22] It's so long lady angel I guess I'll say goodbye

[00:02:29] But I do believe I'm aging right before your eyes

[00:02:37] Wash up on her coast not a nickel to my

[00:02:41] Name

[00:02:43] Sold my sold my sold my gold watch and chain

[00:02:48] Enough to hire a band of lyres to march me

[00:02:52] On my way

[00:02:54] Through hills and valleys streets and alleys up to her

[00:02:57] Open gates

[00:03:01] But the girl I love is oh so oh so

[00:03:05] Far away

[00:03:07] And I wonder can she hear me as I go

[00:03:11] Through my day

[00:03:13] It's so long lady angel I guess I'll say goodbye

[00:03:20] But I do believe I'm aging right before your eyes

[00:03:27] Cock crow in the morning heard it loud and clear

[00:03:33] Asked her for to marry she answer with a tear

[00:03:40] Boy you have my heart and I know you always

[00:03:44] Will

[00:03:46] But that ain't enough to hold me 'cause love don't

[00:03:50] Pay the bills

[00:03:52] I turned away in shame for all my days in

[00:03:57] Vain

[00:03:58] Guess I'll just drag on no one loves you till

[00:04:02] You're gone

[00:04:04] Let the river be my guide let the desert be

[00:04:08] My bride

[00:04:10] Till my heart turns to steel till I no longer

[00:04:15] Feel

[00:04:16] But the girl I love is oh so oh so

[00:04:20] Far away

[00:04:24] And I wonder can she hear me as I go

[00:04:29] Through my day

[00:04:33] It's so long lady angel I guess I'll say goodbye

[00:04:42] But I do believe I'm aging right before your eyes
