《Yankee Bayonet (I Will Be Home Then)》歌词

[00:00:00] Yankee Bayonet (I Will Be Home Then) - The Decemberists

[00:00:09] Heart-carved tree trunk Yankee bayonet

[00:00:13] A sweetheart left behind

[00:00:17] Far from the hills of the sea-swelled Carolinas

[00:00:21] That's where my true love lies

[00:00:34] Look for me when the sun-bright swallow

[00:00:37] Sings upon the birch bough high

[00:00:42] But you are in the ground with the voles and the weevils

[00:00:46] All a'chew upon your bones so dry

[00:01:07] But when the sun breaks

[00:01:11] To no more bulletin battle-cry

[00:01:15] Then will you make a grave

[00:01:19] For I will be home then

[00:01:24] I will be home then

[00:01:28] I will be home then

[00:01:32] I will be home then

[00:01:37] Then

[00:01:46] When I was a girl how the hills of Oconee

[00:01:50] Made a seam to hem me in

[00:01:54] There at the fair when our eyes caught careless

[00:01:58] Got my heart right pierced by a pin

[00:02:11] But oh did you see all the dead of Manassas

[00:02:14] All the bellies and the bones and the bile

[00:02:19] Though I lingered here with the blankets barren

[00:02:23] And my own belly big with a child

[00:02:45] But when the sun breaks

[00:02:49] To no more bulletin battle-cry

[00:02:53] Then will you make a grave

[00:02:57] For I will be home then

[00:03:01] I will be home then

[00:03:05] I will be home then

[00:03:10] I will be home then

[00:03:16] Stems and bones and stone walls too

[00:03:21] Could keep me from you

[00:03:25] Scaly skin is all too few

[00:03:29] To keep me from you

[00:03:40] But oh my love though our bodies may be parted

[00:03:44] Though our skin may not touch skin

[00:03:48] Look for me with the sun-bright sparrow

[00:03:52] I will come on the breath of the wind
