《Pennywhistle》歌词

[00:00:01] Pennywhistle - Augie March

[00:00:15] Just an ordinary day I knew that autumn was on its way

[00:00:19] I could see by the gilt of the clouds the burnish on the bay

[00:00:22] A ring of effusia settled on the city like a vision of the future

[00:00:28] Before the scales fell away

[00:00:30] A vision of the future looking more than just okay

[00:00:34] A good feeling

[00:00:37] Yes just a good feeling

[00:00:40] And it only happens now and then -

[00:00:44] Out of the mouth of a black dog

[00:00:48] Out of the terrors of 3 am

[00:00:52] Out of the dark and whispering fen

[00:00:56] I was blind then I could see now I'm blind again

[00:01:04] So I hollered up to Jill

[00:01:06] "Come down from the mountain your ears are 'a burning

[00:01:09] My speech is a fountain it's been another long year

[00:01:13] But you know I'm not counting

[00:01:15] I dreamed you like you dreamed me

[00:01:19] O the bomb dreamed the fuse and the drowner dreamed the sea"

[00:01:22] What a strange feeling

[00:01:26] Yes it s a strange feeling

[00:01:29] And it only happens now and then -

[00:01:33] Out of the mouth of a black dog

[00:01:37] Out of the terrors of 3 am

[00:01:41] Out of the dark and whispering fen

[00:01:45] I was blind then I could see now I'm blind again

[00:01:50] Most of the Aegean Sea rushes into my bedroom and glitters for me

[00:01:57] The hills of Gallipoli all throw up their bones for my industry

[00:02:04] So I build from the charnel the ale house

[00:02:08] I build from the tomb a palace of dreams

[00:02:12] That old barren rockface got silver seams for a miner of middling means

[00:02:19] Singing poems of dissolution and schemes -

[00:02:24] My penny whistles lo

[00:02:40] Now I summon up Jack sat up on the hill

[00:02:44] The wrong kind of music the wrong kind of pill

[00:02:48] Impotent as a potato but still pleading "Give it up Mary

[00:02:54] But not by degrees "

[00:02:54] A portrait of Jack a study in sin well I knew of myself before I knew of him

[00:03:03] Now even I couldn't tell ya just who it is asking

[00:03:07] "Give it up Mary but not by degrees

[00:03:11] Give it up Mary your virtue please "

[00:03:17] Into the mouth of a black dog - I go

[00:03:21] Into the terrors of 3 am - I go

[00:03:25] Into the dark and whispering fen - I go

[00:03:29] I was blind then blind again

[00:03:33] Into the mouth of a black dog - I go

[00:03:36] Into the terrors of 3 am - I go

[00:03:40] Into the dark and whispering fen - I go

[00:03:44] O what beast has my name on its snaggle tooth

[00:03:47] And eternal slobber for my finishing youth

[00:03:55] My penny whistles low
