《Plump of Grouse》歌词

[00:00:00] Plump of Grouse - Predator/Prey

[00:00:21] I worked through the summer in my sunburnt fields

[00:00:25] Trying to put a piece trying to put a piece together

[00:00:28] Then you came into my life

[00:00:32] In the middle of July in the form of bad weather

[00:00:36] Now I'm working even harder to try to fill my larder

[00:00:41] Although I'm so sure I'll starve

[00:00:43] Fall's dark skies over the fields a third the size

[00:00:48] And my stores aren't looking much better

[00:01:04] When the forest shuts down when the first frost falls

[00:01:08] It closes for all closes for the season

[00:01:12] And I am not alone each beast is skin and bones

[00:01:15] And together we're sown we're all poor eating

[00:01:19] Although we hope our bodies will cope

[00:01:22] We know they won't and we're so sure we will starve

[00:01:26] Still I check my traps they're as empty as my sack

[00:01:29] And when I head back I dine only on the reason

[00:01:48] And now I'm waiting to die

[00:01:55] I'm thinner each day I rise

[00:02:29] When I think back to winters ago

[00:02:32] When my stores were low I still found sleep easy

[00:02:36] Then you came into my life

[00:02:39] As the grouse took wing and the meat came freely

[00:02:43] I hate to think about it these days

[00:02:46] Were all those kills in vain if then this year I just starve

[00:02:50] Where are they are they wasting away

[00:02:53] Or keeping hunger at bay I think about it constantly

[00:03:12] I woke to the sun under the folds

[00:03:15] Of snow covered cold ice forming thick on my bed

[00:03:19] Tucked under skins of the animal kins

[00:03:22] I once took in on which my body once fed

[00:03:26] Ensnared in fate we struggle with hope

[00:03:29] Succumb or we cope although mostly we just starve

[00:03:33] Shuttered in dens as the warm life ends

[00:03:36] Under hides of friends that we made hunting last winter

[00:03:47] And now I'm waiting to die

[00:03:54] I'm thinner each day I rise
