《My Sister’s Tiny Hands》歌词

[00:03:44] We came in this world together

[00:03:44] Legs wrapped around each other

[00:03:44] My cheek against my sister's

[00:03:44] We were born like tangled vines

[00:03:44] And we lived along the river

[00:03:44] Where the black clouds never linger

[00:03:44] And the sunlight spread like honey

[00:03:44] Through my sister's tiny hands

[00:03:44] But while picking sour apples

[00:03:44] In the wild waving grasses

[00:03:44] Sister stumbled in the brier

[00:03:44] And was bitten by a snake

[00:03:44] Every creature casts a shadow

[00:03:44] Under the sun's golden fingers

[00:03:44] And as the sun sinks past the waving grass

[00:03:44] Some shadows are dragged along

[00:03:44] So alone I took to drinking

[00:03:44] Bottles of cheap whiskey

[00:03:44] And I staggered through the backwoods

[00:03:44] Killing snakes with a sharpened stick

[00:03:44] Oh but still I heard her laughing

[00:03:44] In the wild waving grasses

[00:03:44] Still her tiny hands went splashing

[00:03:44] At the river's sparkling shore

[00:03:44] So I took my rusty gas can

[00:03:44] And an old iron shovel

[00:03:44] And I set the woods to blaze

[00:03:44] And choked the river up with stones

[00:03:44] Every creature casts a shadow

[00:03:44] Under the sun's golden fingers

[00:03:44] And as the sun sinks past the waving grass

[00:03:44] Some shadows are dragged along
