《The Little Flower Girl》歌词

[00:00:00] The Little Flower Girl - Ian Anderson

[00:00:23] Down at the church the flower girl sits

[00:00:26] Legs innocent apart

[00:00:30] I make the picture puzzle fit to start your heart

[00:00:38] Painted sister stopped beside

[00:00:41] A word upon her saintly lip

[00:00:45] Perhaps admonishing the child inside the open slip

[00:00:53] I don't know where she might go when she runs home at night

[00:01:01] It's for the best:

[00:01:02] I wouldn't rest when I turned out the light

[00:01:08] No little flower girl singing in my troubled dream

[00:01:15] Just an old man's model in a pose from a magazine

[00:01:30] I have touched that face a dozen times before

[00:01:34] And I have let my pencil run

[00:01:37] Laid down washes on a foreign shore

[00:01:40] Under a hot and foreign sun

[00:01:45] My best sable brushes drift the soft inside of her arm

[00:01:52] Her chin I tilt her breasts I lift

[00:01:56] I mean no harm

[00:02:01] I close the door

[00:02:02] She is no more until the next appointed hour

[00:02:08] Northeastern light push back the night:

[00:02:12] Painted promises in store

[00:02:15] No little flower girl singing in my troubled dream

[00:02:23] Just an old man's model in a pose from a magazine

[00:02:57] Down at the church my flower girl sits

[00:03:00] Legs innocent apart

[00:03:04] I make the picture puzzle fit to start your heart

[00:03:11] My golden sable brushes drift the soft inside of her arm

[00:03:19] Her chin I tilt her breasts I lift I mean no harm

[00:03:26] I mean no harm I mean
