《Constellation Blues》歌词

[00:00:00] Constellation Blues - The Wallflowers (壁花合唱团)

[00:00:12] You can tell a few things about the soul of a town

[00:00:16] From the blood of the men gone in the ground

[00:00:19] Bankrupt and buried by war that is carried out

[00:00:23] By messengers now

[00:00:32] Was born here and married too young staring

[00:00:34] The nose of the barrel down

[00:00:38] Went milk to whiskey to the courthouse sitting

[00:00:41] With her stoned in her wedding gown

[00:00:51] My birthday's in two months and I'll be twenty one

[00:00:54] I am the second oldest to an only son

[00:00:57] Third generation to carry a gun

[00:01:01] I've got brown eyes like my mother does

[00:01:10] First I saw blood was in a soldier's hair

[00:01:13] Drying to his forehead in the dessert air

[00:01:16] I knew his name once but his face I don't dare

[00:01:20] Recall in the moments I go back there

[00:01:30] Off the record do you see my tears

[00:01:33] On my face and in my ears

[00:01:36] As the silos reappear

[00:01:39] And all of our journeys have led us right back here

[00:01:54] There's something in the water we've been passing around

[00:01:58] We've eaten the berries there is no doubt

[00:02:01] Like our father before us in his paper crown

[00:02:04] Kings of nowhere that was ever found

[00:02:14] The angels that used to be guarding our beds

[00:02:17] Have all wandered off and left us instead

[00:02:20] Too strung out and much too sick to defend

[00:02:23] Laying in the bathwater all lit up again

[00:02:33] It's not a rumor it's more than true

[00:02:36] There's nothing I wouldn't do

[00:02:39] Be somewhere with only you

[00:02:42] Share a little of these constellation blues

[00:03:10] When it comes to my death let it be slow

[00:03:14] May I be hunted in the hills I know

[00:03:17] Let God be certain I was ready to go

[00:03:20] But keep that secret from my children though
