《The Night Comes On(New Recording)》歌词

[00:00:01] The Night Comes On - Judy Collins

[00:00:08] I went down to the place

[00:00:10] Where I knew she lay waiting

[00:00:13] Under the marble and the snow

[00:00:17] I said "Mother I'm frightened

[00:00:20] The thunder and the lightning

[00:00:22] I'll never come through this alone"

[00:00:26] She said I'll be with you

[00:00:29] My shawl wrapped around you

[00:00:32] My hand on your head when you go

[00:00:35] And the night came on it was very calm

[00:00:40] I wanted the night to go on and on

[00:00:44] But she said

[00:00:46] Go back go back to the world

[00:00:54] We were fighting in Egypt

[00:00:56] When they signed this agreement

[00:00:58] That nobody else had to die

[00:01:02] There was this terrible sound

[00:01:05] And my father went down

[00:01:07] With a terrible wound in his side

[00:01:11] He said Try to go on

[00:01:14] Take my books take my gun

[00:01:16] And remember my son how they lied

[00:01:21] And the night comes on and it's very calm

[00:01:25] I'd like to pretend that my father was wrong

[00:01:30] But you don't want to lie not to the young

[00:01:38] We were locked in this kitchen

[00:01:41] I took to religion

[00:01:43] And wondered how long she would stay

[00:01:47] I needed so much

[00:01:50] That I have nothing to touch

[00:01:52] I've always been greedy that way

[00:01:56] But my son and my daughter

[00:01:59] Climbed out of the water

[00:02:01] Cryin' papa you promised to play

[00:02:06] And they lead me away to the great surprise

[00:02:10] It's papa don't peek papa cover your eyes

[00:02:14] And they hide they hide in the World

[00:02:24] Now I look for her always

[00:02:26] I'm lost in this calling

[00:02:29] I'm tied to the threads of some prayer

[00:02:32] Saying When will she summon me

[00:02:35] When will she come to me

[00:02:38] What must I do to prepare

[00:02:41] Then she bends to my longing

[00:02:44] Like a willow like a fountain

[00:02:46] She stands in the luminous air

[00:02:51] And the night comes on and it's very calm

[00:02:55] I lie in her arms and says When I'm gone

[00:02:59] I'll be yours yours for a song

[00:03:09] Now the crickets are singing

[00:03:11] The vesper bells ringing

[00:03:13] The cat's curled asleep in his chair

[00:03:17] I'll go down to Bill's Bar

[00:03:20] I can make it that far

[00:03:22] And I'll see if my friends are still there

[00:03:26] And yes here's to the few

[00:03:29] Who forgive what you do

[00:03:31] And the fewer who don't even care

[00:03:36] And the night comes on and it's very calm

[00:03:40] I want to cross over I want to go home

[00:03:44] And she says

[00:03:46] Go back go back to the world
