《Lay of the Last Survivor》歌词

[00:00:02] Okkervil River - Lay of the Last Survivor

[00:00:09] She went out and found her father

[00:00:15] Face down on the ground

[00:00:18] Out in the cold.

[00:00:22] Walked her way around a hill

[00:00:28] With the sun sinking

[00:00:29] Down into the snow.

[00:00:33] All the whitecaps of the waves

[00:00:40] Slap like last hand-claps,

[00:00:46] And the dark water dies in a crash,

[00:00:54] Is sucked back with a moan.

[00:00:58] The smoke on the coast

[00:01:02] Oh, piled fathers,

[00:01:07] Soft, sighing daughters,

[00:01:11] Where does it go?

[00:01:20] It's a dream, now, I'll describe

[00:01:26] Let your mind drift on down, like so,

[00:01:33] To when the world was young.

[00:01:37] A big sky, blue of a dead bachelor's tongue.

[00:01:41] A new bloom on the rose.

[00:01:44] So some line someone told says

[00:01:48] Even light can get old.

[00:01:51] Oh, slobbering lovers,

[00:01:55] Drink-clinking brothers,

[00:01:59] They don't have to tell us, because we know.

[00:02:17] What a way down.

[00:02:22] What a ride.

[00:02:23] What a slide spin-around.

[00:02:25] What a life to have known.

[00:02:31] What a time, and how I was singing out

[00:02:36] In a crowd of the thousand

[00:02:39] Most frightening faces I've known

[00:02:43] When the lighthouse

[00:02:47] Lending us sight finally went out,

[00:02:52] What a fright we felt

[00:02:56] In that night, friends

[00:03:00] Just shout it out,

[00:03:04] All the whys and don't knows,

[00:03:08] All the cries in our throats,

[00:03:13] And how right we felt,

[00:03:21] With our eyes tightly closed,

[00:03:25] Holding something we broke

[00:03:29] And then, whimpering sisters,

[00:03:34] Sobbing well wishers,

[00:03:37] Well it's over.

[00:03:40] Just let my hand go.
