《Remember the Mountain Bed》歌词

[00:00:00] Remember The Mountain Bed - Billy Bragg and Wilco

[00:00:07] Do you still sing of the mountain bed

[00:00:10] We made of limbs and leaves

[00:00:14] Do you still sigh there near the sky

[00:00:17] Where the holly berry bleeds

[00:00:22] You laughed as I covered you over with leaves

[00:00:26] Face breast hips and thighs

[00:00:31] You smiled when I said

[00:00:33] The leaves were just the color of your eyes

[00:01:13] Rosin' smells and turpentine smells

[00:01:16] From eucalyptus and pine

[00:01:21] Bitter tastes of twigs we chewed

[00:01:23] Where tangled wood vines twine

[00:01:29] Trees held us in on all four sides

[00:01:32] So thick we could not see

[00:01:38] I could not see any wrong in you

[00:01:41] And you saw none in me

[00:01:55] Your arm was brown against the ground

[00:01:58] Your cheeks part of the sky

[00:02:03] Your fingers played with grassy moss

[00:02:05] As limber you did lie

[00:02:11] Your stomach moved beneath your shirt

[00:02:14] And your knees were in the air

[00:02:19] Your feet played games with mountain roots

[00:02:23] As you lay thinking there

[00:02:32] Below us the trees grew clumps of trees

[00:02:35] Raised families of trees and they

[00:02:39] As proud as we tossed their heads in the wind

[00:02:43] And flung good seeds away

[00:02:47] The sun was hot and the sun was bright down

[00:02:51] In the valley below

[00:02:56] Where people starved and hungry for life

[00:02:59] So empty come and go

[00:03:08] There in the shade and hid from the sun

[00:03:11] We freed our minds and learned

[00:03:16] Our greatest reason for being here

[00:03:18] Our bodies moved and burned

[00:03:24] There on our mountain bed of leaves

[00:03:27] We learned life's reason why

[00:03:33] The people laugh and love and dream

[00:03:35] They fight they hate to die

[00:03:44] The smell of your hair I know is still there

[00:03:48] If most of our leaves are blown

[00:03:52] Our words still ring in the brush and the trees

[00:03:54] Where singing seeds are sown

[00:03:59] Your shape and form is dim but plain

[00:04:03] There on our mountain bed

[00:04:08] I see my life was brightest

[00:04:11] Where you laughed and laid your head

[00:04:25] I learned the reason why man must work

[00:04:28] And how to dream big dreams

[00:04:33] To conquer time and space

[00:04:35] And fight the rivers and the seas

[00:04:40] I stand here filled with my emptiness now

[00:04:44] And look at city and land

[00:04:49] And I know why farms

[00:04:51] And cities are built by hot warm nervous hands

[00:05:01] I crossed many states just to stand here now

[00:05:04] My face all hot with tears

[00:05:08] I crossed city and valley desert and stream

[00:05:12] To bring my body here

[00:05:16] My history and future blaze bright in me

[00:05:20] And all my joy and pain

[00:05:25] Go through my head on our mountain bed

[00:05:28] Where I smell your hair again

[00:05:37] All this day long I linger here and on in through the night

[00:05:44] My greeds desires my cravings hopes

[00:05:47] My dreams inside me fight

[00:05:52] My loneliness healed my emptiness filled

[00:05:56] I walk above all pain

[00:06:01] Back to the breast of my woman and child

[00:06:04] To scatter my seeds again
