《Memorial Day》歌词

[00:00:00] Memorial Day (纪念日) - Carly Simon (卡莉·西蒙)

[00:00:15] It should have been so soft this morning as we left

[00:00:29] But the valley was infected

[00:00:32] By a different kind of beauty

[00:00:36] And the indians they knew it was a devil's sanctuary

[00:01:04] Out of this unholy dawn a car

[00:01:09] Came stirring up the sand

[00:01:12] And a woman from a passion play

[00:01:16] Held up the limousine that brought me all this way today

[00:01:24] And I didn't need to turn around

[00:01:27] So strong was the message

[00:01:32] And the man who planned her life

[00:01:35] Commanded all that followed

[00:01:40] Well they bellowed and they hollered

[00:01:45] And they threw each other down down in this valley

[00:01:55] This cruel and lovely valley

[00:01:59] Oh it should have been an alley

[00:02:04] In some low down part of town

[00:02:24] As lights came up there's no sun

[00:02:28] And brandy splattered all over the ground

[00:02:34] As this woman with her head held high

[00:02:38] Yelled love and why

[00:02:41] Oh why you're killing me oh follow me

[00:02:49] As I watched safe and clean

[00:02:52] From the frosted windows of limousine

[00:03:14] Well they bellowed and they hollered

[00:03:19] And they threw each other down

[00:03:24] Down in this valley this cruel and lovely valley

[00:03:33] Oh it sould have been an alley

[00:03:39] In some low down part of town

[00:04:09] Before he'd been so funny imagining the best

[00:04:19] That he'd escaper recrimination

[00:04:25] For abandoning the nest

[00:04:30] He'd been joking and stoned

[00:04:32] While he was entertaining me

[00:04:38] But then turned and was stunned

[00:04:40] By her panic and her misery

[00:04:54] I was in the get away car

[00:04:57] Giving him a chance to get away

[00:04:58] Get away get away get away get away get away

[00:05:20] And how the valley smoked

[00:05:23] As he crossed route twenty five

[00:05:29] With his cymbals and his shattered

[00:05:32] Crown leaving all alone

[00:05:35] His eyes fixed on the ground

[00:05:40] And he didn't even turn around

[00:05:43] So strong was the message

[00:05:48] And he fell into the shallow sky

[00:05:51] And was swallowed

[00:05:56] Well they bellowed and they hollered

[00:06:00] And they threw each other down

[00:06:05] Down in this valley this cruel and lovely valley

[00:06:14] Well it should have been an alley

[00:06:19] In some low down part of town
