《The Knowing Ones》歌词

[00:00:00] The Knowing Ones - Jed Davis

[00:00:09] There's an old oak chest by the window

[00:00:14] That my great-grandfather built one shining june

[00:00:18] And i love to sit and look at it proud on the hardwood floor

[00:00:23] Gleaming in the rays of summer afternoon

[00:00:28] They changed the family name at ellis island

[00:00:32] And no one here today knows what it was

[00:00:37] They ripped up all the records 'round the second world war

[00:00:41] And time took the knowing ones as it always does

[00:00:46] And no one here can tell me any more than what they know

[00:00:55] It's a shame the knowing ones were gone so long before

[00:01:00] The ones who need to know what we were so long ago

[00:01:05] Look in the old oak chest and you won't see much

[00:01:09] Just a few loose baubles and things

[00:01:14] But even if my ancestors were nothing more than carpenters

[00:01:19] There's no one here to say they weren't kings

[00:01:23] In the old oak chest i see them all as kings

[00:01:28] And no one here can tell me any more than what they know

[00:01:37] It's a shame the knowing ones were gone so long before

[00:01:42] The ones who need to know what we were so long ago

[00:02:23] There's an old oak chest by the window

[00:02:28] That my great-grandfather built one shining june

[00:02:32] And i love to sit and look at it proud on the hardwood floor

[00:02:38] While the knowing ones are smiling

[00:02:40] In the rays of summer afternoon
