《Galveston Bay(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] Galveston Bay (Album Version) - Bruce Springsteen (布鲁斯·斯普林斯汀)

[00:00:02] For 15 years Le Bin Son fought side by side with the Americans

[00:00:11] In the mountains and deltas of vietnamin

[00:00:15] '75 Saigon fell and he left his command

[00:00:23] And brought his family to the promised land

[00:00:30] Seabrook Texas and the small towns in the Gulf of Mexico

[00:00:38] It was delta country and reminded him of home

[00:00:47] He worked as a machinist put his money away

[00:00:51] And bought a shrimp boat with his cousin

[00:00:56] And together they harvested Galveston Bay

[00:01:01] In the morning 'fore the sun come up

[00:01:04] He'd kiss his sleeping daughter

[00:01:09] Steer out through the channel

[00:01:11] And cast his nets into the water

[00:01:22] Billy Sutter fought with Charlie Company

[00:01:26] In the highlands of Quang Tri

[00:01:30] He was wounded in the battle of Chu Lai

[00:01:33] Shipped home in '68

[00:01:39] There he married and worked the Gulf fishing grounds

[00:01:44] In a boat that'd been his father's

[00:01:47] In the morning he'd kiss his sleeping son

[00:01:52] And cast his nets into the water

[00:02:03] Billy sat in front of his TV as the south fell

[00:02:10] And the Communists rolled into Saigon

[00:02:14] He and his friends watched as the refugees came

[00:02:19] Settled on the same streets

[00:02:22] And worked the coast they'd grew up on

[00:02:27] Soon in the bars around the harbor was talk

[00:02:30] Of America for the Americans

[00:02:35] Someone said "You want 'em out you got to burn 'em out "

[00:02:39] And brought in the Texas Klan

[00:02:47] One humid Texas night there were 3 shadows on the harbor

[00:02:53] Come to burn the Vietnamese boats into the sea

[00:02:59] In the fire's light shots rang out

[00:03:02] 2 Texans lay dead on the ground

[00:03:06] Le stood with a pistol in his hand

[00:03:11] A jury acquitted him in self-defense

[00:03:16] As before the judge he did stand

[00:03:20] But as Le walked down the courthouse steps

[00:03:24] Billy said "My friend you're a dead man "

[00:03:50] One late summer night Le stood watch along the waterside

[00:03:57] Billy stood in the shadows

[00:04:00] His k-bar knife in his hand

[00:04:05] And the moon slipped behind the clouds

[00:04:10] Le lit a cigarette the bay was still as glass

[00:04:17] As he walked by Billy stuck his knife into his pocket

[00:04:23] Took a breath and let him pass

[00:04:30] In the early darkness Billy rose up

[00:04:34] Went into the kitchen for a drink of water

[00:04:40] Kissed his sleeping wife

[00:04:43] Headed into the channel

[00:04:45] And cast his nets into the water

[00:04:49] Of Galveston Bay
