《The Sabre and the Rose》歌词

[00:00:00] The Sabre and the Rose - Kris Kristofferson

[00:00:00] Written by：Kris Kristofferson

[00:00:14] Feet hit the ground feet leavin' town quicker than a bullet or a knife

[00:00:27] Fallin' ain't no fun when you're on the run honey we was running for our life

[00:00:39] When Stagger Lee had drunk his fill of moonlight

[00:00:46] He turned his burning eyes upon my soul

[00:00:53] It's time my God to spend this night with someone else he said

[00:01:00] Squeeze a little pleasure from the gold love and glory

[00:01:07] We can take it easy when we're old

[00:01:12] He said we'll take us into town lay our money down

[00:01:19] I'll bring you to the sweetest thing that grows

[00:01:25] Because the fairest ones in sight are bloomin' every night

[00:01:32] At a tavern called the Sabre and the Rose

[00:01:39] We swang into the saddle sick as breathing

[00:01:45] And slapped 'em once for pleasure with the reins

[00:01:52] The horses snorted frosty in the moonlight

[00:01:59] Somethin' dark was singing in my veins older than the voices in my brain

[00:02:18] He said this place you're gonna see is why they live and breathe

[00:02:23] And sink down a little bit deeper everyday

[00:02:31] And sometimes at night when the wind is running right

[00:02:38] You can hear it suckin' thirty miles away

[00:02:41] Then the light was crimson and I found her all naked and eternal and insane

[00:02:58] Secred as the mysteries around her like a veil nothin' but her prison was profane

[00:03:12] All we had in common was our chains

[00:03:22] Oh burn it down boys burn it to the ground boys burn it on down

[00:03:45] Feet hit the ground feet leavin' town quicker than a bullet or a knife

[00:03:58] All there was she ran holdin' to my hand runnin' for the river and our life

[00:04:11] Slidin' from the moonlight into shadows silent as the river as it flows

[00:04:24] Swimmin' to the place they'll never find us all we left behind us was our clothes

[00:04:35] And the stories children sing about the Sabre and the Rose
