《O， Porcupine》歌词

[00:00:00] O, Porcupine - MeWithoutYou

[00:00:21] Without a queen the locust swarm

[00:00:24] Turned the ground to black

[00:00:29] Descending like a shadowy tower opon a fish's back

[00:00:35] And scattered the sticks who crawled

[00:00:37] Like snakes in the sand

[00:00:42] As the red clay took the form of a lizard

[00:00:45] Who rushed like a moth to the flame of my open hand

[00:00:49] My little worldin my sad little world

[00:00:56] Then a speckled bird humbly inspired

[00:00:59] Ran across the road when it could have flown

[00:01:03] And it made me smile

[00:01:05] And at the water's edge Babylon

[00:01:08] As we lay and slept

[00:01:10] The river wept for you Zion

[00:01:13] The stones cry out

[00:01:15] Bells shake the sky

[00:01:16] All of creation groans

[00:01:18] Shhh

[00:01:24] Listen to it

[00:01:26] Messes of men in farmer poverty

[00:01:29] Not much for monks but we pretend to be

[00:01:32] Share a silent meal and a pot of chamomile

[00:01:35] Gypsies like us should be stamped in solidarity

[00:01:39] And I held you in my fond but distant memory

[00:01:43] While waiting for the mother hen to gather me

[00:01:45] Who regretfully wrote

[00:01:47] You have a decent ear for notes

[00:01:50] But you can't yet appreciate harmony

[00:02:00] O porcupine low in the tree your eyes to mine

[00:02:05] 'You'd be well inclined not to mess with me'

[00:02:09] And at the garden's edge beneath a speechless sky

[00:02:12] As his friends slept

[00:02:14] Jesus wept and it's no wonder why

[00:02:17] You wanna be set free

[00:02:19] You wanna set me free

[00:02:21] Well that can only come from

[00:02:22] A union with the one who never dies

[00:02:24] In my little world in my sad little world

[00:02:28] I patched a plaster wall

[00:02:32] In my little world

[00:02:33] I was waiting just dying

[00:02:35] To take offense at something

[00:02:37] In my little world in my

[00:02:39] Little world in my sad little world

[00:02:43] This is all there is in my little world

[00:03:39] In darkness a light shines

[00:03:44] On me

[00:03:47] In darkness a light shines

[00:03:51] On you

[00:03:55] Oh what'd I say

[00:03:57] I never gathered figs from a thorny branch

[00:03:59] Oh what'd I say

[00:04:00] I never picked a grape off a bramble bush

[00:04:03] Oh what'd I say

[00:04:04] For the past five almost six years now

[00:04:06] Our Lord is come

[00:04:06] You haven't once looked at me with kindness in your eyes

[00:04:09] Oh what'd I say

[00:04:10] Judas is a brother of mine

[00:04:11] Oh what'd I say

[00:04:12] Oh but sister in our darkness a light shines

[00:04:15] Oh what'd I say

[00:04:16] The rest of my life

[00:04:17] Oh What'd I say

[00:04:19] And through I've been mistaken on this or that point

[00:04:23] That light is God
