《Matthew》歌词

[00:00:00] Matthew - Janis Ian

[00:00:00] Written by：Janis Ian

[00:00:31] Footsteps on gravel at the neighborhood bar

[00:00:38] Things start to unravel then they go too far

[00:00:46] The sound of pain written on the wind

[00:00:53] Fades to grey and then goes dim

[00:01:02] A boy is tied to a barbed wire fence

[00:01:09] For the crows to ride and the claws to clench

[00:01:16] For the sweet bouquet of blood and bone

[00:01:23] To undermine the scent of collegiate cologne

[00:01:32] What makes a man a man

[00:01:39] The cut of a coat the hint of a tan

[00:01:46] It's not who you love but whether you can

[00:01:55] What makes a man a man

[00:02:14] So who did he harm what was the crime

[00:02:21] Did he walk too lightly did he seem too shy

[00:02:29] Did he make them wonder deep inside

[00:02:37] Did they feel like real men when he died

[00:02:45] Did the waning moon look down from on high

[00:02:53] Did the twinkling stars try to catch his eye

[00:03:01] Did the wind caress his flesh and bone

[00:03:08] Did they leave him there to die alone

[00:03:17] What makes a man a man

[00:03:24] The cut of a coat the hint of a tan

[00:03:31] It's not who you love but whether you can

[00:03:40] What makes a man a man

[00:03:59] Now the stars are nailed to an empty sky

[00:04:06] The moon is pinned like a butterfly

[00:04:14] And I'm afraid to shine too bright

[00:04:22] Since the day they took his life

[00:04:30] So mothers teach your children this

[00:04:37] Don't overreach don't run the risk

[00:04:44] Hide in the shadows don't expect

[00:04:51] Your good heart to save your neck

[00:05:00] What makes a man a man

[00:05:08] The cut of a coat the hint of a tan

[00:05:14] It's not who you love but whether you can

[00:05:23] That makes a man a man

[00:05:31] That makes a man a man
