《The Tailor(Album)》歌词

[00:00:01] The Tailor (Album) - Blitzen Trapper

[00:00:04] I'm a long way from my home

[00:00:07] I was born on the raging sea

[00:00:10] And when I first struck land

[00:00:11] With my head in hand

[00:00:14] I built a house out of an old oak tree

[00:00:17] And raised a family out of earth and electricity

[00:00:24] I was king of my domain

[00:00:27] But my fortitude had proved in vain

[00:00:31] And when the locusts came

[00:00:32] Like a summer rain

[00:00:34] Devouring everything that I held dear

[00:00:38] And all I'd worked for simply disappeared

[00:00:41] So I crept away

[00:00:43] For I had debts to pay

[00:00:45] And joined the army as a privateer

[00:00:48] Yeah it was then the wind it whispered

[00:00:50] But I would not hear

[00:01:19] So we sailed out across the land

[00:01:23] Through an ocean made of sinking sand

[00:01:26] And though I lost my men

[00:01:28] I was born again

[00:01:30] As a tailor in an unknown land

[00:01:33] With a needle and some thread in hand

[00:01:37] Mending suits and slacks

[00:01:39] Stitching up the cracks

[00:01:40] In the backs of my neighbors heads

[00:01:43] And soon the word yeah of my work it spread through the town

[00:02:08] So before the king I stood

[00:02:11] I said I come from the raging sea

[00:02:14] And if the truth be told

[00:02:16] I am not so old

[00:02:18] As you may first have taken me to be

[00:02:22] For numbers never could apply to me

[00:02:25] For Im as old as time

[00:02:27] And maybe half as blind

[00:02:28] What some of you might call infinity

[00:02:32] I am the tailor of the earth and electricity

[00:02:34] -->
