《Blue Wing》歌词

[00:00:00] Blue Wing - Tom Russell (汤姆罗素)/Dave Alvin

[00:00:13] He had a blue wing tattooed on his shoulder

[00:00:18] Well it might have been a blue bird I don't know

[00:00:24] But he'd get stone drunk and talk about Alaska

[00:00:29] The salmon boats and 45 below

[00:00:35] He said he got that blue wing up in Walla Walla

[00:00:41] And his cellmate there was Little Willy John

[00:00:47] And Willy he was once a great blues singer

[00:00:53] And Wing and Willy wrote 'em up a song They said

[00:00:58] It's dark in here can't see the sky

[00:01:04] But I look at this blue wing and I close my eyes

[00:01:10] And I fly away beyond these walls

[00:01:15] Up above the clouds where the rain don't fall

[00:01:21] On a poor man's dream

[00:01:31] They paroled Blue Wing in August of 1963

[00:01:37] He moved north picking apples to the town of Wenatchee

[00:01:42] Then winter finally caught him in a run down trailer park

[00:01:48] On the south side of Seattle where the days grow gray and dark

[00:01:54] And he drank and he dreamt of visions when the salmon still ran free

[00:02:00] And his fathers' fathers crossed that wild old Bering Sea

[00:02:05] And the land belonged to everyone and there were old songs yet to sing

[00:02:11] Now it's narrowed down to a cheap hotel and a tattooed prison wing

[00:02:16] It's dark in here can't see the sky

[00:02:23] But I look at this blue wing and I close my eyes

[00:02:28] And I fly away beyond these walls

[00:02:34] Up above the clouds where the rain don't fall

[00:02:40] On a poor man's dream

[00:02:55] Well he drank his way to L A and that's where he died

[00:03:01] And no one knew his Christian name and there was no one there to cry

[00:03:07] But I dreamt there was a funeral a preacher and a cheap pine box

[00:03:13] And half way through the service Blue Wing began to talk He said

[00:03:18] It's dark in here can't see the sky

[00:03:24] But I look at this blue wing and I close my eyes

[00:03:30] And I fly away beyond these walls

[00:03:36] Up above the clouds where the rain don't fall

[00:03:41] On a poor man's dream

[00:03:45] Hey hey On a poor man's dream

[00:03:51] Hey hey On a poor man's dream
