《Favourite Hour(Live)》歌词

[00:00:00] Favourite Hour - Elvis Costello (埃尔维斯 科斯特洛)

[00:00:26] Figure hanging on a leather band

[00:00:33] Cog consults the watch he cups in his hand

[00:00:40] Bejewelled movement measures lost and vanished time

[00:00:48] Pray for the boy who makes his bed in cold earth and quicklime

[00:00:56] So stay the hands arrest the time

[00:01:01] Till I am captured by your touch

[00:01:05] Blessings I don't count

[00:01:10] Small mercies and such

[00:01:14] The flags may lower as we approach the favourite hour

[00:01:27] Now there's a tragic waste of brutal youth

[00:01:34] Strip and polish this unvarnished truth

[00:01:42] The tricky door that gapes beneath the ragged noose

[00:01:51] The crippled verdict begs again for the lamest excuse

[00:01:59] So stay the hands arrest the time

[00:02:04] Till I am captured by your touch

[00:02:08] Blessings I don't count

[00:02:13] Small mercies and such

[00:02:17] The flags may lower as we approach the favourite hour

[00:02:34] Put out my eyes so I may never spy

[00:02:42] Waving branches as they're waving goodbye

[00:02:49] Their vile perfume brings to my mouth a bitter taste

[00:02:58] The murmuring brooks had best speak up it's a terrible waste

[00:03:07] So stay the hands arrest the time

[00:03:12] Till I am captured by your touch

[00:03:17] Blessings I don't count

[00:03:22] Small mercies and such

[00:03:26] The flags may lower as we approach the favourite hour
