《The Wrote & The Writ》歌词

[00:00:01] The Wrote & The Writ - Johnny Flynn

[00:00:10] Written by：Johnny Flynn

[00:00:27] Taking pictures of the man from God

[00:00:30] I hope his cassock's clean

[00:00:33] The burden of being our holy fellas

[00:00:36] Your halo'd better gleam better gleam

[00:00:41] What of all those wayward priests

[00:00:44] The ones who like to drink

[00:00:45] Do you suppose they'd swap

[00:00:47] Their blood for wine

[00:00:49] Like you swapped yours for ink for ink

[00:00:54] You wrote me oh so many letters

[00:00:57] And all of them seemed true

[00:01:00] Promises look good on paper

[00:01:03] Especially from you from you

[00:01:07] The weight of all those willing words

[00:01:10] I carried all alone

[00:01:13] You wouldn't put your pen to bed

[00:01:16] When we hadn't found our own our own

[00:01:31] Your sentences rose high at night

[00:01:34] And circled round my head

[00:01:37] The circle's since been broken

[00:01:40] Like the priest before me is breaking bread

[00:01:44] I'm being asked to drink the blood of christ

[00:01:48] And soon I'll eat his flesh

[00:01:50] I'm alone again before the altar

[00:01:54] Shedding all my old regrets

[00:01:58] The last of which

[00:01:59] I'll tell you now

[00:02:02] As it flies down the sink

[00:02:04] I never knew a part of you

[00:02:07] You didn't set in ink in ink

[00:02:12] The letters that you left behind

[00:02:15] No longer shall I read

[00:02:17] Your blood's between the pages

[00:02:21] And I can't stand to see you bleed

[00:03:07] And I'll soon forget what was never there

[00:03:10] Your words are ash and dust

[00:03:12] All that's left is the song I've sung

[00:03:16] The breath I've taken and the one I must

[00:03:20] If you're born with a love for the

[00:03:21] Wrote and the writ

[00:03:24] People of letters your warning stands clear

[00:03:26] Pay heed to your heart and not to your wit

[00:03:29] Don't say in a letter what you can't in my ear
