《Sustain(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] Sustain (Album Version) - The Waterboys (水孩子)

[00:00:01] Blues are falling like showers of rain

[00:00:05] But I don't feel like crying

[00:00:10] Death is abroad this day

[00:00:14] But I don't feel like dying

[00:00:17] I learned how to sustain myself

[00:00:23] How to sustain myself in storms

[00:00:36] Her tongue was like a scythe

[00:00:40] And all her bones were haunted

[00:00:44] A scapegoat for her life

[00:00:48] Was all she ever wanted

[00:00:51] I learned how to sustain myself in storms

[00:01:00] Sir Bedivere slept in the field

[00:01:04] His armour strewn around him

[00:01:08] Curled foetus-like beneath his shield

[00:01:11] Still weeping when we found him

[00:01:16] I teetered on the edge of doom

[00:01:20] Degenerate and broken

[00:01:23] She sucked the poison from my wounds

[00:01:27] And spoke the great unspoken

[00:01:31] I learned how to sustain myself in storms

[00:02:03] His monstrous ego whipped and driven

[00:02:07] Raged beneath his clothing

[00:02:12] The compliment he paid was given

[00:02:15] Not with grace but loathing

[00:02:20] Deliverance is at the gate

[00:02:24] With arms and gold in store

[00:02:28] She apologises for being late

[00:02:31] But I don't need her anymore

[00:02:35] I learned how to sustain myself

[00:02:40] How to sustain myself in storms

[00:02:50] Scoured and stripped of all pretence

[00:02:55] Shorn of all illusion

[00:03:00] I offer nothing in my defence

[00:03:04] You may draw your own conclusions

[00:03:08] I learned how to sustain myself in storms
