《Cover Up The Sun》歌词

[00:00:00] Cover Up The Sun - Counting Crows

[00:00:08] Colorado passes by

[00:00:10] Like writing on a wall

[00:00:12] Headed eastward down

[00:00:13] To New Orleans

[00:00:16] Dipping into Texas

[00:00:18] As the stars are fading out

[00:00:20] And there's still a lot of country

[00:00:21] In between

[00:00:24] When I left California

[00:00:25] I was 29 years old

[00:00:28] And the world just spun me around

[00:00:32] Now I watched Louisiana scroll

[00:00:34] Across the window pane

[00:00:36] And I'm facing the direction

[00:00:37] I am bound

[00:00:40] Cover up the sun

[00:00:44] Let the river run

[00:00:48] Make that water run

[00:00:51] And wash me away

[00:00:54] Me Clifton and the king of cats

[00:00:56] Are sat down in the road

[00:00:58] Pedro said boys

[00:00:59] We're three of kind

[00:01:02] He said I sat with river rats

[00:01:04] And I hung my hat with diplomats

[00:01:06] Had four brothers once upon a time

[00:01:10] He said they tore the country

[00:01:12] Far away from the Rio Grande

[00:01:14] And the road just wore them down

[00:01:18] So they bought a house

[00:01:19] Beside a lake

[00:01:20] Outside of New Orleans

[00:01:22] And they stared in the direction

[00:01:24] Of the escalating sound

[00:01:26] Cover up the sun

[00:01:30] Let the river run

[00:01:34] Take this good man's son

[00:01:37] And wash him away

[00:01:42] Sister indeciperable is talking

[00:01:45] To a wall

[00:01:47] Back in New York city

[00:01:48] She's a queen

[00:01:50] Well resurrector Genuflect

[00:01:52] She saves the one she can't protect

[00:01:54] Keeps the chapel pressed

[00:01:56] If not Sistine

[00:01:58] She drinks Absinthe mixed

[00:01:59] With Kerosene to keep

[00:02:00] Herself upright

[00:02:02] But the word still breaks her down

[00:02:06] If you can't keep your

[00:02:07] Sh*t together

[00:02:08] When God is on your side

[00:02:10] What chance do you have

[00:02:11] When he's not around

[00:02:14] Cover up the sun

[00:02:18] Make that water run

[00:02:22] Let the river come

[00:02:25] And wash me away

[00:02:31] People of the Mardi Gras

[00:02:32] In their Tuesday best

[00:02:34] Waiting for the South to rise again

[00:02:38] Children of Geronimo

[00:02:40] Grieving for the West

[00:02:42] Feather dressed

[00:02:43] And marching their refrain

[00:02:46] All in the dark of Armstrong Park

[00:02:48] The marching bands ascend

[00:02:50] But they never make a sound

[00:02:54] Just a quiet prayer for communist square

[00:02:56] The silent congregation there

[00:02:58] The night to rest our eyes in

[00:03:00] We just look to the horizon for a change

[00:03:04] Cover up the sun

[00:03:08] Let the river run

[00:03:12] I pray the water come

[00:03:15] And wash me away

[00:03:18] Carved in the sky

[00:03:22] I'll make that diesel fly

[00:03:26] Come on just lay me down to die

[00:03:29] And just take me away

[00:03:32] Yeah
