《Then Came the Children》歌词

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

[00:00:19] While I sing to you about a minstrel band

[00:00:26] Of children in their witches hats

[00:00:31] Painting pictures with the pipes of pan

[00:00:38] How a young boy and his sister played some tunes

[00:00:43] Upon a whistle made of tin

[00:00:50] And led me through the flower gardens

[00:00:51] Laughing at the postman's stubby chin

[00:00:57] And in my dizzy stupor

[00:01:04] I was trying to forfeit all I'd known

[00:01:13] And listen to that music that could swirl me in a magic all it's own

[00:01:15] But somewhere in the distance

[00:01:17] You and I we fought our monsters to a draw

[00:01:18] It was in those days of books and wine

[00:01:19] With Ferlin Getty grasping for a straw

[00:01:47] And out along the highways

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

[00:01:59] Chasing down identities

[00:02:03] My God we must have run a million miles

[00:02:11] So we can teach the children

[00:02:13] Nothing nothing but survival in the desert bare

[00:02:22] They can teach us how to laugh

[00:02:25] How to love and tie bright ribbons in our hair

[00:02:32] So sing for us you children

[00:02:37] Tinkle bells and rhyme the purple greens and blues

[00:02:45] Think of us as fighting fools

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

[00:02:55] Think of us as fighting fools

[00:03:02] Who wintered through our seasons loving you

[00:03:09] Cause you can teach us how to laugh

[00:03:12] How to love and tie bright ribbons in our hair
