《Song About a Star》歌词

[00:00:00] Song About a Star - Okkervil River

[00:00:04] He cut your strings so that he could float

[00:00:07] Lit by lights lifted by alcohol

[00:00:10] Over acres of loving coast

[00:00:13] Far away from your lonely ghost

[00:00:17] Now he's cool and all

[00:00:19] Floating anchorless ports of call

[00:00:22] Where it's fabulous after all

[00:00:24] Of this watching himself just crawl

[00:00:29] Think you see him

[00:00:31] He's not there

[00:00:32] That's just light

[00:00:33] That's not yet dead

[00:00:36] Wait two hours

[00:00:38] And watch what'll be there instead

[00:00:42] Was he small and cold

[00:00:45] Like a ring you call up from home

[00:00:47] Held so tightly his limbs went numb

[00:00:50] Worn away between your finger and thumb

[00:00:54] Well now he's bought and sold

[00:00:56] Cry his call number down the phone

[00:00:59] He can't hear you he's on his float

[00:01:01] Waving down to the folks at home

[00:01:06] Think you see him

[00:01:08] He's not there

[00:01:09] That's just light

[00:01:10] That's not yet dead

[00:01:13] Wait two hours

[00:01:15] And watch what'll be there instead

[00:01:20] As the cameras love all of his faces

[00:01:23] They hide all the traces of you in his heart

[00:01:26] Stand in line to hold forth on his grace

[00:01:28] But you won't even get a head start

[00:01:32] Get a head start

[00:01:46] As his close up comes

[00:01:48] Cascading down from above

[00:01:51] The eyes of a nation in love

[00:01:54] Are looking on all of their hopes

[00:01:56] Held up

[00:01:57] And the words that some

[00:01:59] Screenwriter counted and chose

[00:02:02] And then set in their sequence and froze

[00:02:05] Unfreeze on his tongue as he speaks

[00:02:07] For all of us

[00:02:09] But one

[00:02:12] And honey he's gone

[00:02:14] And baby he's everyone's

[00:02:18] In the dark sky tonight

[00:02:20] Cast your eyes

[00:02:23] On the dim light

[00:02:26] That he will become

[00:02:28] You're just like everyone

[00:02:32] Who thinks they see him

[00:02:35] He's not there

[00:02:36] That's just light

[00:02:37] That's not yet dead

[00:02:40] Wait two hours

[00:02:43] And watch what'll be there instead
