《Couldn’t Call It Unexpected No. 4》歌词

[00:00:01] Couldn't Call It Unexpected No 4 - Elvis Costello

[00:00:13] I saw a girl who'd found her consolation

[00:00:19] She said "One day my Prince of Peace will come"

[00:00:25] Above her head a portrait of her father

[00:00:31] The wilted favour that he gave her still fastened to the frame

[00:00:39] "They've got his bones and everything he owns

[00:00:45] I've got his name"

[00:00:50] Well you can laugh at this sentimental story

[00:00:57] But in time you'll have to make amends

[00:01:03] The sudden chill where lovers doubt their immortality

[00:01:10] As the clouds cover the sky the evening ends

[00:01:16] Describing a picture of eyes finally closing

[00:01:23] As you sometimes glimpse terrible faces in the fire

[00:01:30] We'll I'm the lucky goon

[00:01:34] Who composed this tune

[00:01:37] From birds arranged on the high wire

[00:01:54] Who on earth is tapping at the window

[00:02:00] Does that face still linger at the pane

[00:02:07] I saw you shiver though the room was like a furnace

[00:02:13] A shadow of regret across a young mother's face

[00:02:20] So toll the bell or rock the cradle

[00:02:26] Please don't let me fear anything I cannot explain

[00:02:34] I can't believe I'll never believe in anything again
