《The Tea Leaf Prophecy (Lay Down Your Arms)》歌词

[00:00:00] The Tea Leaf Prophecy (Lay Down Your Arms) - Herbie Hancock (赫比·汉考克)/Joni Mitchell (琼妮·米切尔)

[00:00:01] Written by：Larry Klein/Joni Mitchell

[00:00:36] Newsreels rattle the nazi dread

[00:00:42] The able bodied have shipped away

[00:00:47] Molly McGee gets her tea-leaves read

[00:00:51] You'll be married in a month they say

[00:00:56] These leaves are crazy

[00:01:00] Just look at this town there's no men left

[00:01:05] Just frail old boys and babies

[00:01:09] Talking to teacher in the treble clef

[00:01:15] She plants her garden in the spring

[00:01:25] She does the winter shovelling

[00:01:33] Tokyo roses talking on the radio

[00:01:43] She says I'm leavin' here

[00:01:48] But she don't go

[00:01:51] Out of the blue just passin' thru

[00:01:54] A young flight sergeant

[00:01:57] On two weeks leave

[00:01:58] Says Molly McGee no one else will do

[00:02:04] And seals the tea-leaf prophecy

[00:02:09] Oh these nights are strong and soft

[00:02:15] Private passions and secret storms

[00:02:19] Nothin' about him ticks her off

[00:02:22] And he looks so cute in his uniform

[00:02:28] She plants her garden in the spring

[00:02:37] He does the winter shovelling

[00:02:47] But summer's just a sneeze

[00:02:49] In a long long bad winter cold

[00:02:56] Soon she says I'm leavin' here

[00:03:00] But she don't go

[00:04:18] Sleep little darlin'

[00:04:22] This is your happy home

[00:04:27] Hiroshima cannot be pardoned

[00:04:31] Don't have kids when you get grown

[00:04:36] This world is shattered

[00:04:40] The wise are mourning

[00:04:42] The fools are joking

[00:04:45] Oh what does it matter

[00:04:49] The wash needs ironing

[00:04:51] And the fire needs stoking

[00:04:56] She plants her garden in the spring

[00:05:03] He does the winter shovelling

[00:05:13] The three of 'em laughing 'round the radio

[00:05:22] She says I'm leavin' here but she don't go

[00:05:31] She plants her garden in the spring

[00:05:40] They do the winter shovelling

[00:05:49] They sit up late and watch the

[00:05:51] Johnny Carson show

[00:05:59] She says I'm leavin' here but she don't go
