《Billie’s Bones》歌词

[00:00:00] Billie's Bones - Janis Ian

[00:00:00] Written by：Janis Ian

[00:00:20] Billie's tears fall like dust

[00:00:25] From the air into my eyes

[00:00:29] Seeping in before they rust

[00:00:34] Spilling secrets words can't hide

[00:00:40] I am standing on the bones

[00:00:45] Of a mound too high to climb

[00:00:51] Selling secrets to atone

[00:00:55] For a song that is not mine

[00:01:00] Billie's bones are white and bleached

[00:01:05] Piled high and hard to reach

[00:01:10] And the top looks cold and bleak

[00:01:16] But I see farther when I stand

[00:01:20] On Billie's bones in Billie's land

[00:01:34] There's an orchid in her hair

[00:01:38] There are bruises on her lips

[00:01:43] I would worship if I dared

[00:01:48] Kneeling at her fingertips

[00:01:54] I would tell her how I've yearned

[00:01:59] To be worthy of the grail

[00:02:04] All these years and all I've learned

[00:02:08] Is just how brilliantly I fail

[00:02:14] Billie's bones are white and bleached

[00:02:19] Piled high and hard to reach

[00:02:23] And the top looks cold and bleak

[00:02:29] But I see farther when I stand

[00:02:34] On Billie's bones in Billie's land

[00:02:57] Now the flesh of earth has passed

[00:03:02] Now the joints have come undone

[00:03:06] All that's left of her is ash

[00:03:10] Scattered on the air like crumbs

[00:03:37] There are voices on the wind

[00:03:42] Stolen whispers sacred moans

[00:03:47] You can hear them through your skin

[00:03:51] And the singing of the bones

[00:03:57] When the wind blows from the east

[00:04:02] I can taste her on my tongue

[00:04:08] And the grave is lined and paved with

[00:04:13] All the songs we never sung
