《Snowbird》歌词

[00:00:00] Snowbird (雪鸟) - M. Craft (Martin Craft)

[00:00:20] Snowbird was just a little girl once

[00:00:23] All tangled up in dandelion hair and polka dots

[00:00:27] And a picture book mind full of dreams and designs

[00:00:30] And visions of faraway places

[00:00:33] Yeah she drew underwater worlds and cities in the stars

[00:00:37] In the Asteroid belt between Jupiter and Mars

[00:00:41] In felt tips and crayons her little works of art

[00:00:45] All promised a future of greatness

[00:00:48] She caught the sunlight in her eye

[00:00:52] Underneath the winter sky

[00:00:55] I'll paint the world until I die she said

[00:01:00] One day I'll spread my wings and fly high like a snowbird

[00:01:15] Yes I will

[00:01:24] Her daddy died when she was only ten

[00:01:28] But all she cried came out in ink and in pen

[00:01:31] She drew charcoal streets leading down to dead ends

[00:01:35] Where heads hung low in sorrow

[00:01:38] But she was left a small fortune at the reading of the will

[00:01:42] About enough for a life and then another life still

[00:01:45] And with her mother in a haze of vodka and pills

[00:01:49] Snowbird had just dreamed of tomorrow

[00:01:53] She caught the sunlight in her eye

[00:01:57] Underneath the winter sky

[00:02:00] I'll paint the world until I die she said

[00:02:04] One day I'll spread my wings and fly high like a snowbird

[00:02:21] Yes I will

[00:02:23] That's right

[00:02:29] Years went by and she hit eighteen

[00:02:32] And left home for the art school scene

[00:02:35] To paint the people of the shadows and the faces unseen

[00:02:39] For her hero was now Egon Schiele

[00:02:42] But she did a couple of little canvases and bad super 8

[00:02:46] And a conceptual piece that was thirty years too late

[00:02:50] It was all she could fit between the dinner and the dates

[00:02:53] With dreamers and drummers and dealers

[00:02:57] She caught the sunlight in her eye

[00:03:01] Underneath the winter sky

[00:03:04] I'll paint the world until I die and she said

[00:03:09] One day I'll spread my wings and fly high like a snowbird

[00:03:22] Yes I will

[00:03:31] Well who's that girl in the little black dress

[00:03:37] Her head held high like a real princess

[00:03:40] A glimmering shimmering coked up mess

[00:03:44] A fashion trash art school failure

[00:03:47] Yeah her fingernails are all there's left to paint in her world

[00:03:51] She dishes out the dirt with the party powder girls

[00:03:54] Who think love comes in diamonds and wisdom in pearls

[00:03:58] And art is just paraphernalia

[00:04:02] She's lost the sunlight from her eye

[00:04:05] There's only a mirror ball left in her sky

[00:04:09] I'll do what I want till the day that I die

[00:04:12] Now see me spread my wings I can fly high like a snowbird

[00:04:52] Snowbird was just a little girl once she was

[00:04:59] Snowbird was just a little girl once

[00:05:06] Snowbird was just a little girl once she was

[00:05:13] Snowbird was just a little girl once but now she can fly
