《Homeland》歌词

[00:00:00] Homeland - John Hiatt

[00:00:12] Well I jumped so high

[00:00:14] Knocked the table over

[00:00:15] Thought I saw a ghost

[00:00:17] Come out of the clover

[00:00:18] She lived in this house

[00:00:20] Forty odd years or so

[00:00:25] She was buried in the back

[00:00:26] With the English and the natives

[00:00:28] Slaughtered like sheep

[00:00:30] Women and babies

[00:00:31] Lot of blood and tears

[00:00:33] Three hundred years ago

[00:00:37] It's like they're caught up in the trees

[00:00:39] In the webs of spiders

[00:00:40] Spun out of leaves

[00:00:42] Ghostly riders

[00:00:44] Lookin' for a trail

[00:00:45] To find their way back home

[00:00:50] But there's nothing back there

[00:00:52] Or tomorrow

[00:00:53] No place they

[00:00:55] Can put their sorrow

[00:00:56] Heavy as death

[00:00:58] Cold as a broken stone

[00:01:02] And I call this place my homeland

[00:01:08] And I claim this land I own

[00:01:14] But it belongs to another people

[00:01:20] They possess it in their bones

[00:01:30] Well I can hear them in the night

[00:01:31] Like a hundred televisions

[00:01:33] Hummin' down low

[00:01:35] Beneath the subdivisions

[00:01:36] All they really want

[00:01:38] Is if we can hear 'em now

[00:01:42] They been troublin' this plain

[00:01:44] Lookin' for attention

[00:01:46] Making crazy tracks

[00:01:47] They need an intervention

[00:01:49] All they really want

[00:01:50] Is to get back home somehow

[00:01:55] So build up a fire

[00:01:57] Say a little prayer

[00:01:58] And cook a little meat

[00:02:00] Pull 'em up a chair

[00:02:01] And offer them a plate

[00:02:03] Maybe we can all find peace

[00:02:07] You can't bury anything

[00:02:09] Men or nations

[00:02:10] Old memories old vibrations

[00:02:13] The pain doesn't stop

[00:02:15] Just because the killin' ceased

[00:02:19] And I call this place my homeland

[00:02:25] And I claim this land I own

[00:02:31] It belongs to another people

[00:02:38] They possess it in their bones

[00:03:15] Well I jumped so high

[00:03:17] Straight up off the bed sheet

[00:03:18] Nightmare sky

[00:03:20] Bloody with the red heat

[00:03:21] Started to shake

[00:03:23] 'Cause I couldn't find my way back home

[00:03:27] Well I landed in the ditch

[00:03:29] Landed in the gutter

[00:03:31] Landed in the arms

[00:03:32] Of my long lost mother

[00:03:34] Cryin' like a child

[00:03:35] While the Bayou Pierre groaned

[00:03:40] And I call this place my homeland

[00:03:46] And I love this land I own

[00:03:52] But it belongs to another people

[00:03:58] They possess it in their bones

[00:04:04] Yeah I call this place my homeland

[00:04:10] And I claim this land I own

[00:04:16] But it belongs to another people

[00:04:22] They possess it in their bones
