《You Say The Battle Is Over》歌词

[00:00:00] You Say The Battle Is Over (Live 1995) - John Denver (约翰·丹佛)

[00:00:09] And you say that the battle is over

[00:00:13] And you say that the war is all done

[00:00:16] Go tell it to those

[00:00:18] With the wind in their nose

[00:00:20] Who run from the sound of the gun

[00:00:24] And write it on the sides

[00:00:25] Of the great whaling ships

[00:00:27] Or on ice floes where conscience is tossed

[00:00:31] With the wind in their eyes

[00:00:33] It is they who must die

[00:00:35] And it's we who must measure the loss

[00:00:40] And you say that the battle is over

[00:00:44] And finally the world is at peace

[00:00:47] You mean no one is dying

[00:00:49] And mothers don't weep

[00:00:51] Or it's not in the papers at least

[00:00:55] There are those who would deal

[00:00:57] In the darkness of life

[00:00:58] There are those who would tear down the sun

[00:01:02] And most men are ruthless

[00:01:04] But some will still weep

[00:01:06] When the gifts we were given are gone

[00:01:15] Now the blame cannot fall

[00:01:17] On the heads of a few

[00:01:19] It's become such a part of the race

[00:01:22] It's eternally tragic

[00:01:24] That that which is magic

[00:01:26] Be killed at the end of the glorious chase

[00:01:31] From young seals to great whales

[00:01:33] From waters to wood

[00:01:34] They will fall just like weeds in the wind

[00:01:38] With fur coats and perfumes

[00:01:40] And trophies on walls

[00:01:42] What a hell of a race to call men

[00:01:51] And you say that the battle is over

[00:01:54] And you say that the war is all done

[00:01:59] Go tell it to those

[00:02:01] With the wind in their nose

[00:02:02] Who run from the sound of the gun

[00:02:06] And write it on the sides

[00:02:08] Of the great whaling ships

[00:02:10] Or on ice floes where conscience is tossed

[00:02:13] With the wind in their eyes

[00:02:15] It is they who must die

[00:02:18] And it's we who must measure the loss

[00:02:21] With the wind in their eyes

[00:02:23] It is they who must die

[00:02:25] And it's we who must measure the cost
