《Nathan》歌词

[00:00:00] Nathan - Vic Chesnutt

[00:00:15] The great grandfather

[00:00:18] With his pious beard

[00:00:20] Bathed in the river

[00:00:23] All his years

[00:00:25] Many books that lined his walls

[00:00:30] Jews and gentiles

[00:00:33] Held him in awe

[00:00:36] Nathan stepped through the broken window

[00:00:40] And looked to the river

[00:00:43] Where his mother once floated

[00:00:46] Nathan stepped through the broken window

[00:00:51] And looked to the river

[00:00:53] Where his mother once floated

[00:01:21] He had four sons

[00:01:23] All healthy and proper

[00:01:25] One was converted

[00:01:28] Became a christian doctor

[00:01:30] His daughter filled with typhus and succumbed

[00:01:36] He grew quiet his wife fell dumb

[00:01:41] Nathan stepped through the broken window

[00:01:45] And looked to the river

[00:01:47] Where his mother once floated

[00:01:50] Nathan stepped through the broken window

[00:01:55] And looked to the river

[00:01:57] Where his mother once floated

[00:02:24] His granddaughter recalled

[00:02:27] The day he died

[00:02:29] She was six years old

[00:02:32] Frosted with fright

[00:02:34] She clutched the toe

[00:02:37] The stiff cold toe

[00:02:39] And renounced the wrongs only she could know

[00:02:44] Nathan stepped through the broken window

[00:02:49] And looked to the river

[00:02:51] Where his mother once floated

[00:02:54] Nathan stepped through the broken window

[00:02:59] And looked to the river

[00:03:01] Where his mother once floated

[00:03:04] Nathan stepped through the broken window

[00:03:08] And looked to the river

[00:03:10] Where his mother once floated

[00:03:13] Nathan stepped through the broken window

[00:03:18] And looked to the river

[00:03:20] Where his mother once floated
