《The Sire of Sorrow》歌词

[00:00:00] The Sire of Sorrow - Joni Mitchell (琼妮·米切尔)

[00:00:00] Written by：Vince Mendoza

[00:00:00] Let me speak

[00:00:04] Let me spit out my bitterness

[00:00:12] Born of grief and nights without sleep

[00:00:16] And festering flesh

[00:00:25] Do you have eyes

[00:00:29] Can you see like mankind sees

[00:00:37] Why have you soured

[00:00:40] And curdled me

[00:00:49] Oh you tireless watcher

[00:00:55] What have I done to you

[00:01:00] That you make everything I dread

[00:01:03] And everything I fear

[00:01:07] Come true

[00:01:15] Once I was blessed

[00:01:20] I was a waited like the rain

[00:01:26] Like eyes for the blind

[00:01:31] Like feet for the lame

[00:01:41] Kings heard my words

[00:01:45] And they sought out my company

[00:01:51] But now the janitors of shadow land

[00:01:57] Flick their brooms at me

[00:02:05] Oh you tireless watcher

[00:02:11] What have I done to you

[00:02:16] That you make everything I dread

[00:02:19] And everything I fear come true

[00:02:24] Man is the sire of sorrow

[00:02:39] I've lost all taste for life

[00:02:42] I'm all complaints

[00:02:46] Tell me why do you starve the faithful

[00:02:50] Why do you crucify the saints

[00:02:55] And you let the wicked prosper

[00:02:59] You let their children

[00:03:01] Frisk like deer

[00:03:05] My loves are dead or dying

[00:03:07] Or they don't come near

[00:03:11] We don't despise your chastening

[00:03:15] God is correcting you

[00:03:18] Oh and look who comes

[00:03:22] To counsel my deep distress

[00:03:30] These pompous physicians oh

[00:03:34] What carelessness

[00:03:35] Oh all this ranting all this wind

[00:03:40] Filling our ears with trash

[00:03:42] Breath taking ignorance

[00:03:47] Adding insult to injury

[00:03:53] They come blaming and shaming

[00:03:57] Evil doer

[00:03:59] And shattering me

[00:04:01] This vain man wishes to seem wise

[00:04:05] Man born of asses

[00:04:07] Oh you tireless watcher

[00:04:13] What have I done to you

[00:04:18] That you make everything I dread

[00:04:21] And everything I fear

[00:04:24] Come true

[00:04:26] We don't despise your chastening

[00:04:41] Already on a bed of sighs and screams

[00:04:47] And still you torture me with visions

[00:04:52] You give me terrifying dreams

[00:04:58] Better I was carried

[00:05:01] From the womb

[00:05:03] Straight to the grave

[00:05:06] I see the diggers waiting

[00:05:10] They're leaning on their spades

[00:05:12] Man is the sire of sorrow

[00:05:16] Sure as the sparks ascend

[00:05:19] Oh where is hope

[00:05:24] While you're wondering

[00:05:26] What went wrong

[00:05:32] Why give me light

[00:05:34] And then this dark

[00:05:36] Without a dawn

[00:05:38] Evil is sweet in your mouth

[00:05:42] Hiding under your tongue

[00:05:45] Show your face

[00:05:47] What a long fall from grace

[00:05:50] Help me understand

[00:05:57] What is the reason

[00:06:00] For your heavy hand

[00:06:03] You're stumbling in shadows

[00:06:07] You have no name now

[00:06:08] Was it the sins of my youth

[00:06:15] What have I done to you

[00:06:20] That you make everything I dread

[00:06:23] And everything I fear

[00:06:25] Come true

[00:06:28] Oh your guilt must weigh so greatly

[00:06:34] Everything I dread and everything

[00:06:37] I fear

[00:06:40] Come true

[00:06:41] Man is the sire of sorrow

[00:06:45] Oh you make everything I dread

[00:06:48] And everything I fear

[00:06:52] Come true
