《Singers and the Endless Song》歌词

[00:00:00] Singers and the Endless Song - Iron & Wine

[00:00:17] When we all ran back into the briars

[00:00:20] We told our children about the foreign shore

[00:00:23] When we threw our boots into the fire

[00:00:26] We told them all about the tug of war

[00:00:28] Gonna tell them about the seed and the shovel

[00:00:31] About the prison and the promised land

[00:00:34] Gonna tell them about the dream of the devil

[00:00:36] About the hurting and the healing hand that hand

[00:00:49] Cause the music never lasts too long

[00:00:52] For the singers and the endless song

[00:01:00] When we held our words up in the mirror

[00:01:03] We told our children how to hold their tongues

[00:01:06] When we held our heads beneath the river

[00:01:08] We told them all about the iron lung

[00:01:11] Gonna tell them about the sins of the father

[00:01:14] About the junkie and the jubilee

[00:01:17] Gonna tell them about the roots in the water

[00:01:19] About the killing in the quiet line of trees

[00:01:32] Cause the music never lasts too long

[00:01:35] For the singers and the endless song

[00:01:43] All our morning kisses in the covers

[00:01:46] And told our children what 'worthy' means

[00:01:48] And then you wrapped your arms around another

[00:01:51] And told them what was worth a pile of beans

[00:01:54] Gonna tell them about the call of the ocean

[00:01:57] About the singers and the endless song

[00:01:59] Gonna tell them about the body

[00:02:01] And the motion

[00:02:02] And how the music never lasts too long too long

[00:02:15] Cause the music never lasts too long

[00:02:18] For the singers and the endless song

[00:02:20] About the low lit alley

[00:02:21] And the wedding bed

[00:02:22] About the first born sucker

[00:02:24] And the spider's web

[00:02:26] Cause the music never lasts too long

[00:02:29] For the singers and the endless song

[00:02:31] About the mind and the muscle

[00:02:32] And the weary mile

[00:02:34] About the heart and the hustle

[00:02:35] And the empty sky

[00:02:37] Cause the music never lasts too long

[00:02:40] For the singers and the endless song

[00:02:42] About the tangled up truth in the perfect teeth

[00:02:45] About the pilgrim and the picking

[00:02:46] Through the chaff and wheat

[00:02:48] Cause the music never lasts too long

[00:02:51] For the singers and the endless song

[00:02:53] About the butterfly kiss

[00:02:54] And the call for blood

[00:02:56] About the pig and the preacher

[00:02:57] And the holy mud

[00:02:59] Cause the music never lasts too long

[00:03:02] For the singers and the endless song

[00:03:04] About the breeze in the summer

[00:03:05] And the nose will know

[00:03:07] About the sleep through the winter

[00:03:08] When the cold wind blows

[00:03:10] Cause the music never lasts too long

[00:03:13] For the singers and the endless song

[00:03:15] About the lame duck lion

[00:03:16] And the thorny crown

[00:03:17] About the proud punk mule

[00:03:19] And the heavy plow

[00:03:21] Cause the music never lasts too long

[00:03:23] For the singers and the endless song

[00:03:26] About the sunburned belly

[00:03:27] And the mother's moon

[00:03:28] About the end of the music coming way too soon
