《Farewell to a Percival》歌词

[00:00:00] Farewell To A Percival - Simon Joyner

[00:00:14] So you planned to chip away at trouble

[00:00:20] But it left you standing in the rubble

[00:00:26] Now your tears are trapped in crystal puddles

[00:00:32] With a stone portrait of your double

[00:00:43] And if you begged me to remain around

[00:00:48] Would grief keep tearing at your gown

[00:00:54] All the sadness waltzing around your frown

[00:01:00] Well it's bound to bring some ceilings down

[00:01:09] Now there ain't no reason my heart will hear

[00:01:15] So you can shed the pickax and climbing gear

[00:01:22] But please don't stand and watch my back disappear

[00:01:28] As I fade into the mountains there

[00:01:38] Whose to say the sky is mean

[00:01:43] If it stands between you and your kingdom

[00:01:49] They say some things are meant to be seen

[00:01:56] And some things are meant to be kept hidden

[00:02:26] All those saints who feed on virtue are ruthless

[00:02:32] Saying you need a deed to be so virtuous

[00:02:38] And guilt is vainly plainly discouraged

[00:02:44] As we kow-tow to their courage

[00:02:53] But I saw the glorious white arch fall

[00:03:00] And the great soldier children were crushed and all

[00:03:05] The townspeople looked and saw their shadows

[00:03:11] And then had to stay inside and drain their pillows

[00:03:20] Then I had a dream seven nights in a row

[00:03:28] You were following me through all these doomed places I go

[00:03:35] Well I knew I was weak but I guess I didn't know

[00:03:41] I was in need of a guardian angel

[00:03:49] Whose to say the sky is mean

[00:03:55] If it stands between you and your kingdom

[00:04:01] They say some things are meant to be seen

[00:04:07] And some things are meant to be kept hidden

[00:04:36] The river I follow has turned so small

[00:04:42] I can't hardly swallow any strength at all

[00:04:49] And the pale fish rotting in its muddy walls

[00:04:55] I know they lost their eyes before they stalled

[00:05:04] So I search and I yearn and I barely breathe

[00:05:10] And the person who once knew you is no longer me

[00:05:17] With my torn yellow map and my dry canteen

[00:05:22] I can't stop to count my blessings

[00:05:31] Or the curved lines of longitude

[00:05:37] I burned as if they were fuses

[00:05:43] To pass the mirage and land the oasis

[00:05:49] Where I'm going to fill up all these empty spaces

[00:05:59] Whose to say the sky is mean

[00:06:03] If it stands between you and your kingdom

[00:06:11] They say some things are meant to be seen

[00:06:16] And some things are meant to be kept hidden

[00:06:46] To pass the mirage and land the oasis

[00:06:53] Where I'm going to fill up all these empty spaces

[00:06:59] And free myself of these earthly races

[00:07:05] I'll send you my thirst first and then the laces

[00:07:14] Of my shoes
