《I Thought I’d Write To Juliet》歌词

[00:00:00] I Thought I'd Write To Juliet - Elvis Costello (埃尔维斯 科斯特洛)/Brodsky Quartet (柏洛斯基弦乐乐团)

[00:00:00] I thought I'd write to Juliet's

[00:00:06] For she would understand

[00:00:11] And when someone is already dead

[00:00:16] They can no longer let you down

[00:00:21] Instead I find myself talking to you

[00:00:27] As my oldest friend

[00:00:32] Tell me how I can advise someone

[00:00:36] That I don't even know

[00:00:39] To welcome death

[00:00:42] For I received a letter that is worth reporting

[00:00:52] And though it may raise a cynical smile

[00:00:57] It leaves a sinking feeling

[00:01:02] Like when a soldier in a story

[00:01:07] Says to the sergeant

[00:01:09] Have you seen my pride and joy

[00:01:13] You know the rest

[00:01:16] And it's no joke

[00:01:18] Forgive me please as I quote

[00:01:30] This is a letter of thanks

[00:01:36] As I'm so bored here

[00:01:39] In I can't say where

[00:01:41] So I'm writing to people

[00:01:44] That I may never meet

[00:01:48] And I was thinking if something you said

[00:02:09] I'm a female soldier my name is Constance

[00:02:15] I enlisted in the military

[00:02:19] Needing funds for college

[00:02:22] I'm twenty-three years old

[00:02:24] And if I do get home alive

[00:02:31] I imagine I may think again

[00:02:38] I'm sleeping with my eyes open for fear of attack

[00:02:44] Your words are a comfort

[00:02:47] They're the best thing that I have

[00:02:50] Apart from family pictures and

[00:02:53] Of course my gas mask

[00:02:57] I don't know why I am writing to you
