《North Country Song (Rain On The Mountainside)》歌词

[00:00:00] North Country Song (Rain On The Mountainside) - Jake Thackray

[00:00:08] The rain is on the mountainside

[00:00:11] The beast is in the silent meadow

[00:00:15] The north countryside is patiently

[00:00:17] Waiting again

[00:00:21] Blackbird is dumb in the juniper

[00:00:24] Lapwing shivers in the dripping thicket

[00:00:28] Down in the stone-faced town

[00:00:31] One door opens

[00:00:34] For though the weather blow wild

[00:00:37] I see the shepherd step

[00:00:38] Up to his moorside

[00:00:41] And in despite of the cold

[00:00:43] The poor farmer going to

[00:00:45] His meadow below

[00:00:48] Going to his meadow below

[00:00:59] When the birch tree is agonised

[00:01:02] And when the little river is tormented

[00:01:06] The land on its knees

[00:01:08] The house on its hunkers

[00:01:12] There is a figure moving by the wall

[00:01:15] Leaning for breath upon a stony shoulder

[00:01:19] His eyes to the skies seldom lifted

[00:01:26] For though the weather blow wild

[00:01:28] I see the shepherd step

[00:01:29] Up to his moorside

[00:01:32] And in despite of the cold

[00:01:35] The poor farmer going to

[00:01:37] His meadow below

[00:01:40] Going to his meadow below

[00:01:51] North-country countryside

[00:01:54] The grim indifference of your nature

[00:01:57] Most other men would turn

[00:02:00] Stumbling homeward

[00:02:04] But this one is a different kind

[00:02:07] He knows the pinches of

[00:02:08] An older hunger

[00:02:10] A greater storm than

[00:02:11] Yours in his heart rages

[00:02:16] For though the weather blow wild

[00:02:19] I see the shepherd whistling

[00:02:20] On his moorside

[00:02:23] And in despite of the cold

[00:02:25] The poor farmer singing in

[00:02:27] His meadow below

[00:02:31] Singing in his meadow below
