《My Mother Bore Me》歌词

[00:00:00] My Mother Bore Me - Richard White

[00:00:12] My mother bore me in the southern wild

[00:00:21] I live in darkness but my soul is light

[00:00:30] Light as the forehead of an English child

[00:00:35] But I'm in darkness and bereaved of light

[00:00:44] My mother taught me underneath a tree

[00:00:50] And sitting down before the heat of day

[00:00:56] She took me on her lap and kissed me

[00:01:02] And pointing to the east began to say

[00:01:12] Look upon the rising sun

[00:01:14] Their God does live

[00:01:18] And gives his light

[00:01:19] And gives his heat away

[00:01:24] And all the trees and flowers

[00:01:26] And beasts and men

[00:01:27] Receive their comfort from the morning

[00:01:33] Threw the bright noon day

[00:01:40] And we are put on earth a little space

[00:01:45] That we may learn to bare the beams of love

[00:01:49] And these poor bodies and this ravaged face

[00:01:55] Are but a cloud and like a shady grove

[00:02:05] For when our souls

[00:02:09] Have learned the heat to bear

[00:02:11] The clouds will vanish

[00:02:13] We will hear his voice saying

[00:02:19] Come out from the grove my love and care

[00:02:24] And around my golden tent like lambs rejoice

[00:02:32] Thus did my mother say and kissed me

[00:02:39] And thus I say to little English boy

[00:02:48] When we are both from light

[00:02:51] And dark clouds free

[00:02:55] And around the tent of God we both rejoice

[00:03:04] I will shade him from the heat

[00:03:06] Till he can bear to lean in joy

[00:03:11] Upon out father's knee

[00:03:15] And then I'll stand and stroke his silver hair

[00:03:19] And be like him and he will then love me

[00:03:35] Voices in my night will cry Christine

[00:03:39] And every drop of rain that falls

[00:03:41] Will be Christine

[00:03:44] You are the only one

[00:03:48] My only chance of happiness

[00:03:51] My golden leaf of autumn

[00:03:53] My Christine

[00:03:56] Look within this heart of mine Christine

[00:04:01] The very constant soul and music of Christine

[00:04:07] Behind this mortal mask

[00:04:10] This terror of a face conceals

[00:04:13] The gesture and the grace of you Christine

[00:04:19] No one else must ever have Christine

[00:04:24] If not for me you'd be for no one else Christine

[00:04:29] If I am guilty I'd be guilty of

[00:04:33] An innocents who's name is love

[00:04:35] And never no never will you ever be

[00:04:38] For anyone else and except for me

[00:04:41] I damn you when I love

[00:04:43] And I love you and I damn you

[00:04:46] My Christine
