《You Hung The Moon》歌词

[00:00:00] You Hung The Moon - Elvis Costello

[00:00:00] Written by：Elvis Costello

[00:00:01] The homecoming fanfare is echoing still

[00:00:06] Now tapping on tables and sensing a chill

[00:00:11] Poor families expecting loved one's return

[00:00:17] Only summon some charlatan spectre

[00:00:21] Oh when will they learn

[00:00:29] You hung the moon

[00:00:34] From a gallows in the sky

[00:00:39] Choked out the light

[00:00:44] In his blue lunar eye

[00:00:49] The shore is a parchment

[00:00:54] The sea has no tide

[00:01:00] Since he was taken from my side

[00:01:10] The lines of the fallen are viewed through a glass

[00:01:15] You cannot touch them at all

[00:01:19] Or hear their footfall just as they go past

[00:01:24] The drunken ground is where they are bound

[00:01:32] You hung the moon

[00:01:36] From a gallows in the sky

[00:01:42] Choked out the light

[00:01:47] In his blue lunar eye

[00:01:52] The shore is a parchment

[00:01:57] The sea has no tide

[00:02:02] Since he was taken from my side

[00:02:14] So slap out his terrors

[00:02:16] And sneer at his tears

[00:02:18] We deal with deserters like this

[00:02:23] From the breech to the barrel the bead we will level

[00:02:27] Break earth with a shovel quick march on the double

[00:02:32] Lower him shallow like tallow down in the abyss

[00:02:43] You hung the moon

[00:02:48] From a gallows in the sky

[00:02:55] Choked out the light

[00:02:58] In his blue lunar eye

[00:03:04] The shore is a parchment

[00:03:09] The sea has no tide

[00:03:15] Since he was taken from my side

[00:03:26] Since he was taken from my side

[00:03:39] The homecoming fanfare is echoing still
