《Ballad Of Casy Deiss》歌词

[00:00:00] Ballad Of Casy Deiss - Shawn Phillips

[00:00:24] Twas a man of youthful features

[00:00:29] Twas a boy of sorrowful eyes

[00:00:35] Watching out but looking inward

[00:00:40] Tall and stately and full of life

[00:00:57] In his life he spoke but rarely

[00:01:02] In his mind he cried for light

[00:01:08] Painting perceptions trying to capture

[00:01:13] That which he saw in his questioning strife

[00:01:30] Once in lisbon twice in London

[00:01:35] Travelling around for all of his time

[00:01:41] Looking for and finding a goddess

[00:01:46] He took diana to be his wife

[00:02:02] Of the children they'd begotten

[00:02:08] Two had died without knowing life

[00:02:13] And the third I know not whereof

[00:02:18] But if she lives she will yet be kind

[00:02:34] Casey had a mark of simple value

[00:02:40] He had a star between his eyes

[00:02:45] In his hands he held an axe blade

[00:02:51] The greek symbol of thunder and fire

[00:03:07] On a night when the heavens were crying

[00:03:13] He went down and took his blade

[00:03:18] Chopping wood to warm his hearthside

[00:03:23] The lightning came and my brother die

[00:03:50] Bring him no wine from faraway vineyards

[00:03:56] Tell him no tales of the canyon's might

[00:04:01] But wish him peace and eternal wisdom

[00:04:06] For he has died and he died in light
