《Old Waits Carol》歌词

[00:00:00] The moon shines bright

[00:00:04] And the stars give a light

[00:00:07] A little before it is day

[00:00:14] The Lord our God He for-gave us

[00:00:21] And bids us awake and pray

[00:00:30] The life of man is but a span

[00:00:37] And cut down in its flower

[00:00:44] We're here to-day to-morrow gone

[00:00:51] The creatures of an hour

[00:01:01] To-day you may be alive and well

[00:01:07] Worth many a thousand pound;

[00:01:14] To-morrow dead and cold as clay

[00:01:21] Your corpse laid underground

[00:01:31] With one turf at thine head O man

[00:01:38] And another at thy feet;

[00:01:45] Thy good deeds and thy bad O man

[00:01:52] Will all together meet

[00:02:02] My song is done I must be gone

[00:02:09] I can stay no longer here;

[00:02:16] God bless you all both great and small

[00:02:23] And send you a joyful new year

[00:02:29] Old Waits Carol - Kate & Anna McGarrigle
