《First Recollection》歌词

[00:00:00] First Recollection - Cowboy Junkies (烟枪牛仔合唱团)

[00:00:18] My first recollection is a day in December

[00:00:25] Black iron steam engine covered in ice

[00:00:33] Like some Precambrian monster

[00:00:36] Moaning and snorting

[00:00:40] Nothing was ever going to beat that beast

[00:00:43] In a fair fight

[00:00:49] I've sat and watched the woodpiles

[00:00:51] Grow through the summer

[00:00:55] Now I'm sitting smelling summer burn through the fall

[00:01:04] Winter's coming on days getting dreary

[00:01:11] And I'm thinking this is the season

[00:01:14] That I leave you all

[00:01:19] I've heard a man in crisis

[00:01:21] Falls back on what he knows best

[00:01:27] A murderer to murder

[00:01:30] A thief to theft

[00:01:35] And I don't want you to think

[00:01:37] That this is some kind of deathbed confession

[00:01:43] But run is what I did when put to the test

[00:02:08] My first recollection is a day in December

[00:02:15] 747 tracing lines through the sky

[00:02:24] Like some old gypsy curse

[00:02:26] Silently preying upon the dreams of those

[00:02:32] Who jealously watch life pass by

[00:02:39] I've sat and watched my troubles

[00:02:42] Pile through the summer

[00:02:46] Now I'm sitting hearing my youngest cry

[00:02:51] Down the hall

[00:02:55] Winter's coming on days getting dreary

[00:03:02] And I'm thinking this is the season

[00:03:06] That I leave you all

[00:03:11] I've heard that the son must bear

[00:03:13] The burdens of the father

[00:03:18] But it's the daughter that is left

[00:03:22] To clean up the mess

[00:03:26] And I don't want you to think

[00:03:28] That I'm asking for absolution

[00:03:34] But run is what I did when put to the test
