《Earth Shanty》歌词

[00:00:00] Earth Shanty (2013 Remastered Version) - The Groundhogs

[00:02:26] Skyward fly the eagles as the hawks search out their prey

[00:02:34] Seaward fly the seagulls catching

[00:02:38] Fish beneath the spray

[00:02:43] For their young amongst the shingle

[00:02:46] To feed them for the day

[00:02:51] Look back on this and linger seeking

[00:02:55] Thoughts of yesterday

[00:02:58] I recall all the scenes forgotten

[00:03:03] Dreams of pastures green

[00:03:09] Grey clouds all day provide a screen

[00:03:17] From the sun that parched the

[00:03:20] Land and robbed the sea

[00:03:26] Left the dried-up burnt-out sand

[00:04:17] And the moon mirror of the sun

[00:04:21] Night-light of the world

[00:04:25] Drags a blanket of cooling sea

[00:04:29] Across the sand in furls

[00:04:33] In the night when the stars provide

[00:04:36] A reason for man to strive

[00:04:41] He reasons that's the reason he's alive

[00:05:29] Let the stars in the firmament remain as bait

[00:05:38] For the people whose only wish is to

[00:05:42] Leave their home let them wait

[00:05:46] Their impatience is only matched by a

[00:05:50] Misunderstanding of their fate

[00:05:54] Let them get their priorities straight
