《Two Sisters》歌词

[00:00:00] Two Sisters (两姐妹) - Andrew Bird (Andrew Wegman Bird)

[00:00:37] Two young sisters are walking alone

[00:00:42] By the pale muddy waters

[00:00:46] Two young sisters are walking alone

[00:00:51] By the pale muddy waters of Onion town

[00:00:57] When one of them pushed the younger in

[00:01:02] Into the cold rain waters

[00:01:06] Pushed her sister and watched her drown

[00:01:11] In the cold muddy froth on the river

[00:01:29] And she floated up and she floated down

[00:01:34] To pale she was as the water

[00:01:39] Floated down till she washed down shore

[00:01:44] On the pale muddy banks of Onion town

[00:01:49] With wolves by night and the sun by day

[00:01:55] Nothing was left but bones and hair

[00:02:00] Bones and hair which are both more fair

[00:02:04] Than the pale muddy banks of the river

[00:02:26] Luke his son was deaf in rain

[00:02:31] Carried her home her tiny frame

[00:02:38] Father father I hear her cry

[00:02:43] "how can that be " he said "bones don't cry" he said

[00:02:50] Besides you're deaf

[00:02:53] But he thought there must be something to these bones

[00:02:55] So he made a fiddle out of her breast bone

[00:03:03] Made some pegs out of her finger bone

[00:03:08] Made a bow out of her leg bone

[00:03:15] And from her yellow hair he strum

[00:03:19] The strings that would have her story sung

[00:03:23] And sometime later

[00:03:27] One old woman was walking alone

[00:03:32] By the pale muddy waters

[00:03:36] She heard the strings of the sweet fiddle cry

[00:03:41] "Cruel sister why have you drowned me "

[00:03:46] Upon her rock the deaf boy played

[00:03:51] Oh the bows of Onion

[00:03:55] And into the water the cruel sister ran

[00:04:00] But she sank just like any old stone
