《Choppin’ Wood》歌词

[00:00:00] Choppin' Wood - Van Morrison

[00:00:01] Written by：Van Morrison

[00:00:19] You wired the trains and went back home to St. Claire's shores

[00:00:23] Before you became a spark down at the yard

[00:00:27] You were passing through those hungry years alone

[00:00:30] You were just trying to make a living out in Detroit

[00:00:36] When you came back off the boats you didn't want to go anywhere

[00:00:40] You sit down to TV in your favourite chair

[00:00:45] You watch the big picture fade away down at Harland and Wolff

[00:00:49] But you still kept on choppin' wood

[00:00:54] And you came back home to Belfast

[00:00:59] So you could be with us like

[00:01:03] You lived your life of quiet desperation on the side

[00:01:08] Going to the shipyard in the morning on your bike

[00:01:12] Well the spark was gone but you carried on

[00:01:17] You always did the best you could

[00:01:20] You sent for us once but everything fell through

[00:01:25] But you still kept on choppin' wood choppin' wood

[00:02:03] Well you came back home to Belfast

[00:02:07] So you could be with us like

[00:02:12] And you lived a life of quiet desperation on the side

[00:02:16] Going to the shipyard in the morning on your bike

[00:02:20] WeIl the spark was gone but you carried on

[00:02:25] Well you did just the best that you could

[00:02:29] You sent for us one time but everything fell through

[00:02:33] But you still kept on choppin' wood

[00:02:37] Kept on choppin' wood

[00:02:41] Kept on choppin' wood

[00:02:45] Local man chops wood

[00:02:49] You know you did the best you could

[00:02:53] Well everything just fell through

[00:02:57] Kept on choppin' wood

[00:02:59] Chop chop chop chop chop

[00:03:04] Chop chop chop chop chop

[00:03:08] Chop chop chop keep on choppin'

[00:03:12] Chop chop chop choppin' wood
