《You Say That The Battle Is Over》歌词

[00:00:00] You Say That The Battle Is Over - John Denver (约翰·丹佛)

[00:00:10] And you say that the battle is over

[00:00:14] And you say that the war is all done

[00:00:18] Go tell it to those with the wind in their nose

[00:00:22] Who run from the sound of the gun

[00:00:26] And write it on the sides of the great whaling ships

[00:00:30] Or on ice floes where conscience is tossed

[00:00:34] With the wild in their eyes it is they who must die

[00:00:38] And it's we who must measure the loss

[00:00:44] And you say that the battle is over

[00:00:48] And finally the world is at peace

[00:00:51] You mean no one is dying and mothers don't weep

[00:00:56] Or it's not in the papers at least

[00:00:59] There are those who would deal in the darkness of life

[00:01:03] There are those who would tear down the sun

[00:01:07] And most men are ruthless but some will still weep

[00:01:11] When the gifts we were given are gone

[00:01:21] Now the blame cannot fall on the heads of a few

[00:01:25] It's become such a part of the race

[00:01:29] It's eternally tragic that which is magic

[00:01:33] Be killed at the end of the glorious chase

[00:01:38] From young seals to great whales from waters to wood

[00:01:42] They will fall just like weeds in the wind

[00:01:46] With fur coats and perfumes and trophies on walls

[00:01:50] What a hell of a race to call men

[00:01:56] And you say that the battle is over

[00:02:00] And you say that the war is all done

[00:02:03] Go tell it to those with the wind in their nose

[00:02:07] Who run from the sound of the gun

[00:02:11] And write it on the sides of the great whaling ships

[00:02:15] Or on ice floes where conscience is tossed

[00:02:19] With the wild in their eyes it is they who must die

[00:02:23] And we who must measure the loss

[00:02:27] With the wild in their eyes it is they who must die

[00:02:31] And we who will measure the cost
