《Waltz of the 101st Lightborne》歌词

[00:00:00] Waltz Of The 101st Lightborne - Joanna Newsom

[00:00:00] I believed they had got what they came for;

[00:00:06] I believed our peril was done

[00:00:12] On the eve of the last of the Great Wars

[00:00:18] After three we had narrowly won

[00:00:23] But the fourth

[00:00:25] It was carelessly done.

[00:00:29] I saw his ship in it's whistling ascension

[00:00:35] As they launched from the Capitol seat

[00:00:40] Swear I saw our mistake

[00:00:43] When the clouds draped like a flag

[00:00:47] Across the backs of the fleet

[00:00:52] Of the Hundred-First Lightborne Elite

[00:00:57] As the day is long

[00:01:00] So the well runs dry

[00:01:02] And we came to see Time is taller

[00:01:05] Than Space is wide

[00:01:08] And we bade goodbye

[00:01:10] To the Great Divide:

[00:01:13] Found unlimited simulacreage to colonize!

[00:01:19] But there was a time we were lashed to the prow

[00:01:26] Of a ship you may board, but not steer

[00:01:31] Before You and I ceased to mean Now

[00:01:37] And began to mean only Right Here

[00:01:42] to mean Inches and Miles, but not Years;

[00:01:47] Before Space has a taste of its limits

[00:01:52] And a new sort of coordinate awoke

[00:01:58] Making Time just another poor tenant:

[00:02:04] Bearing weight, taking fire, trading smokes

[00:02:09] In the war between us and our ghosts

[00:02:14] But I saw the Bering Strait and the Golden Gate

[00:02:20] In silent suspension of their golden age!

[00:02:25] you can barely tell, if I guard it well

[00:02:31] Where I have been, and seen

[00:02:34] Pristine, unfelled.

[00:02:37] I had a dream that I walked in the garden

[00:02:44] Of Chabot, and those telescope ruins

[00:02:49] It was there that I called to my true love

[00:02:56] Who was pale as millennial moons

[00:03:01] Honey, where did you come by that wound?

[00:03:06] When I woke, he was gone

[00:03:09] And the War had begun

[00:03:13] In eternal return and repeat

[00:03:17] Calling, Where in the hell are the rest of your fellow

[00:03:23] One Hundred-One Lightborne Elite?

[00:03:28] Stormed in the New Highland Light Infantry

[00:03:34] Make it stop, my love!

[00:03:37] We were wrong to try

[00:03:40] Never saw what we could unravel

[00:03:42] In traveling light

[00:03:45] or how the trip debrides

[00:03:47] Like a stack of slides!

[00:03:50] All we saw was that Time is taller than Space is wide

[00:03:56] That's why we are bound to a round desert island

[00:04:03] 'neath the sky where our sailors have gone

[00:04:08] Have they drowned, in those windy highlands?

[00:04:16] Highlands away, my John

[00:05:05] Highlands away, my John
