《Snow-Hen of Austerlitz》歌词

[00:00:07] They say not far away

[00:00:08] In fact upon that hill

[00:00:11] They say that there's a little girl there still

[00:00:15] She wasn't raised like the other kids

[00:00:19] Miss Lynn the

[00:00:21] Snow Hen of

[00:00:22] Austerlitz

[00:00:26] The mother's blind and keeps some birds as pets

[00:00:31] That her baby is a human she forgets

[00:00:34] In a tiny wire pen that little girl still sits

[00:00:38] Miss Lynn the

[00:00:40] Snow Hen of

[00:00:41] Austerlitz

[00:00:45] She must be ten or eleven now

[00:00:48] I heard she's pretty but she don't have all her wits

[00:00:52] She is the

[00:00:53] Snow Hen of

[00:00:57] Austerlitz

[00:01:00] Not having really neither wings nor beak

[00:01:04] She never learned to walk or speak

[00:01:08] To the child the mother never says a word

[00:01:11] To communicate this little girl she chirps like a bird

[00:01:20] All the birds around they taught the little girl their language

[00:01:23] When she's not understood she starts to get real angry

[00:01:27] So she waves her hands around just like they were her wings

[00:01:31] Hope it when she's happy you should hear her sing

[00:01:38] I'll leave the cage door open

[00:01:42] We'll see how far she gets

[00:01:45] She's known as the

[00:01:46] Snow Hen of

[00:01:50] Austerlitz

[00:01:58] Kept like a pet in an old hen coop

[00:02:01] The mother didn't beat her and she gave her food

[00:02:05] Still pitiful no care shown but it's

[00:02:09] The life of the

[00:02:11] Snow Hen of

[00:02:17] Austerlitz

[00:02:17] A skinny thing with brittle glass-like bones

[00:02:20] Was it wind in the trees or the

[00:02:22] Snow Hen's moans

[00:02:25] From pursed perch from that attic she flits

[00:02:28] Miss Lynn the

[00:02:30] Snow Hen of

[00:02:34] Austerlitz

[00:02:35] She must be ten or eleven now

[00:02:39] I heard she's pretty but she don't have all her wits

[00:02:43] She is the

[00:02:43] Snow Hen of

[00:02:49] Austerlitz

[00:02:50] I'll leave the cage door open

[00:02:54] We'll see how far she gets

[00:02:57] She's known as the

[00:02:59] Snow Hen of

[00:03:05] Austerlitz

[00:03:05] She must be ten or eleven now

[00:03:09] I heard she's pretty but she don't have all her wits

[00:03:13] She is the

[00:03:14] Snow Hen of

[00:03:21] Austerlitz

[00:03:21] I'll leave the cage door open

[00:03:25] We'll see how far she gets

[00:03:28] She's known as the

[00:03:29] Snow Hen of

[00:03:35] Austerlitz
