《Pearl’s Eye View(The Life Of Dickey Chapelle LP Version)》歌词

[00:00:01] Pearl's Eye View - Nanci Griffith

[00:00:07] Oh she was high up there in the air

[00:00:11] Caught still by a soldier's stare

[00:00:14] Whenever it was men amongst men

[00:00:16] Down upon the land

[00:00:21] And she followed those mothers' sons

[00:00:24] She felt the thunder of their guns

[00:00:28] From a pearl's eye view

[00:00:30] Just a camera in her hand

[00:00:35] She was born Georgette

[00:00:37] But the name

[00:00:38] Didn't suit her well

[00:00:42] So she blew out of Wisconsin

[00:00:45] As Dickey Chapelle

[00:00:49] So she flew with a pilot's pride

[00:00:52] The first witness to either side

[00:00:56] She carried relief to the lost ones

[00:00:59] Between the bombs

[00:01:03] And we saw it all through her lens

[00:01:06] She knew she'll go back again

[00:01:09] When the call rang out

[00:01:11] Once more from Vietnam

[00:01:16] She's been through this before

[00:01:18] She'll tell ya war is hell

[00:01:23] Her pearl earrings caught the light

[00:01:26] On Dickey Chapelle

[00:01:29] Oh that's the way it was

[00:01:31] She was the only one to tell

[00:01:35] In 1962

[00:01:38] She blew the whistle loud and clear

[00:01:42] Now we trace her wings

[00:01:45] In her footsteps without fear

[00:01:48] To the front lines where she fell

[00:01:53] Where she lies still

[00:01:56] But she's still there

[00:02:27] It was 1965

[00:02:31] Over Chu Lai in a free fall dive

[00:02:34] In a dawn patrol to cover

[00:02:37] The dead zone ground

[00:02:41] She tiptoed through the land mines

[00:02:44] All along the enemy lines

[00:02:48] But she never saw the one

[00:02:50] That took her down

[00:02:54] She captured the bloody pearls of war

[00:02:58] So well

[00:03:01] That war was bound to steal

[00:03:02] The end of Dickey Chapelle
