《Then Came The Children (LP版)》歌词

[00:00:11] Well come gather around me friends of mine,

[00:00:18] While I sing to you about a minstrel band

[00:00:25] Of children in their witches hats,

[00:00:30] Painting pictures with the pipes of pan

[00:00:37] How a young boy and his sister played some tunes

[00:00:42] Upon a whistle made of tin

[00:00:49] And led me through the flower gardens,

[00:00:55] Laughing at the postman's stubby chin

[00:01:00] And in my dizzy stupor,

[00:01:03] I was trying to forfeit all I'd known

[00:01:12] And listen to that music that could swirl me in a magic all it's own

[00:01:23] But somewhere in the distance,

[00:01:34] You and I, we fought our monsters to a draw

[00:01:35] It was in those days of books and wine,

[00:01:36] With Ferlin Getty grasping for a straw

[00:01:45] And out along the highways,

[00:01:51] We journeyed far to find that mystic smile

[00:01:58] Chasing down identities,

[00:02:02] My God we must have run a million miles

[00:02:10] So we can teach the children,

[00:02:12] Nothing, nothing but survival in the desert bare

[00:02:21] They can teach us how to laugh,

[00:02:24] How to love and tie bright ribbons in our hair

[00:02:31] So sing for us you children,

[00:02:36] Tinkle bells and rhyme the purple, greens and blues

[00:02:43] Think of us as fighting fools,

[00:02:49] Who wintered through our seasons loving you

[00:02:54] Think of us as fighting fools,

[00:03:07] Who wintered through our seasons loving you

[00:03:33] Cause you can teach us how to laugh,

[00:03:35] How to love and tie bright ribbons in our hair
