《Tapestry》歌词

[00:00:00] Tapestry (挂毯) - Don McLean (唐·麦克林)

[00:00:13] Every thread of creation is held in position

[00:00:20] By still other strands of things living

[00:00:24] In an earthly tapestry hung from the skyline

[00:00:29] Of smoldering cities so gray and so vulgar

[00:00:35] As not to be satisfied with their own negativity

[00:00:41] But needing to touch all the living as well

[00:00:52] And every breeze that blows kindly is one crystal breath

[00:00:58] We exhale on the blue diamond heaven:

[00:01:03] As gentle to touch as the hands of the healer

[00:01:09] As soft as farewells whispered over the coffin

[00:01:15] Were poisoned by venom with each breath we take

[00:01:20] From the brown sulfer chimney and the black highway snake

[00:01:34] And every dawn that breaks golden is held in suspension

[00:01:40] Like the yolk of the egg in albumen

[00:01:45] Where the birth and the death of unseen generations

[00:01:51] Are interdependant in vast orchestration

[00:01:56] And painted in colors of tapestry thread

[00:02:01] When the dying are born and the living are dead

[00:02:12] And every pulse of your heartbeat is one liquid moment

[00:02:18] That flows through the veins of your being

[00:02:23] Like a river of life flowing on since creation

[00:02:29] Approaching the sea with each new generation

[00:02:35] Youre now just a stagnant and rancid disgrace

[00:02:41] That is rapidly drowning the whole human race

[00:02:53] And every fish that swims silent every bird that fly freely

[00:03:00] Every doe that steps softly

[00:03:04] Every crisp leaf that falls all the flowers that grow

[00:03:11] On this colorful tapestry somehow they know

[00:03:17] That if man is allowed to destroy all we need

[00:03:23] He will soon have to pay with his life for his greed
