《Manafon》歌词

[00:00:00] Manafon - David Sylvian (戴维·西尔维恩)

[00:00:04] There's a man down in the valley

[00:00:12] Who doesn't speak in his own tongue

[00:00:20] He bears a grudge against the English

[00:00:28] The tune to which his songs are sung

[00:00:39] There's a man down in the valley

[00:00:46] Who is moving back in time

[00:00:53] It's a physical ascension

[00:01:01] You can watch him as he climbs

[00:01:09] The farmer's wives are at their windows

[00:01:16] They've seen him wind his way for hours

[00:01:24] They tell the kids to lower their voices

[00:01:31] And pretend that they are out

[00:01:49] There's a man down in the valley

[00:01:55] Trying to stop time in its tracks

[00:02:03] His boots lie heavy on the grasses

[00:02:10] But it keeps on pushing back

[00:02:22] And his wife she was a painter

[00:02:28] But now she stains the altar black

[00:02:38] He's out bird watching on the islands

[00:02:44] And she wishes he'd come back

[00:02:53] There's a man down in the valley

[00:03:00] And he dreams of moving west

[00:03:07] Of battles raged against the furies

[00:03:14] That might see him at his best

[00:03:41] Don't know his right foot from his left
