《The Open Window》歌词

[00:00:00] The Open Window - John & Mary

[00:00:22] She walked away with the ring in her hand

[00:00:28] The back door open scattered coins on her night stand

[00:00:33] The room around her so silent and still

[00:00:38] The echoes of the voices lingered from a time

[00:00:43] When so long ago and far away

[00:00:46] How sweet the fiddle bow did play

[00:00:49] The smiles around the table as they talked intimately

[00:00:55] When she would leave them her children alone

[00:01:00] Their cries and protests made her want to stay back home

[00:01:06] In isolation she worked into night

[00:01:11] Her hands all calloused by the twisted vines she'd fight

[00:01:15] Then she'd think of times so long ago

[00:01:18] The dinner embers still aglow

[00:01:21] The smiles around the table as they talked intimately

[00:01:29] The window was open the daughter was pale

[00:01:40] The steam pipes were broken and her hand

[00:01:45] Froze to the rail

[00:02:09] When so long ago and far away

[00:02:13] How sweet the fiddle bow did play

[00:02:15] The smiles around the table as they talked intimately

[00:02:22] The grief lay all around her

[00:02:27] No food heat just war

[00:02:32] She looked in the tarnished mirror her glowing eyes

[00:02:37] Traveled to a place

[00:02:39] Where they would drink and dance on dusty florid days

[00:02:43] The little boy sat and polished his shoes

[00:02:48] He'd rub them with a cloth so shined he couldn't lose

[00:02:54] A small green vase for his mom he wished to win

[00:02:59] To bring the life back to the face that's always been

[00:03:04] Full of love and life a sparkle lay

[00:03:07] A mother's tear to make her stay

[00:03:09] The sky grew dark the rain clouds pour

[00:03:12] She wouldn't see her anymore

[00:03:15] So long ago and far away how sweet the fiddle bow did play

[00:03:20] The smiles around the table as they talked intimately

[00:03:28] The window was open the daughter was pale

[00:03:39] The steam pipes were broken and her hand

[00:03:44] Froze to the rail
