《Evening Over Rooftops》歌词

[00:00:00] Evening Over Rooftops - Edgar Broughton Band

[00:00:45] The air was thick like honey

[00:00:49] Looking from the room

[00:00:53] The room had open windows

[00:00:56] To let the springtime through

[00:01:00] Evening stood by watching

[00:01:03] At the side of summer's promise

[00:01:07] The flowers in her garden

[00:01:11] Were the envy of her friends

[00:01:15] How far are we from dying

[00:01:18] Is it nearly at an end

[00:01:22] How far are we from dying

[00:01:26] Is it nearly at an end

[00:01:30] The smoke hung on the skyline

[00:01:33] The city fell in silence

[00:01:37] The sunset ripe and mellow

[00:01:40] Was the light to write some thoughts by

[00:01:44] Her children watched for father

[00:01:47] From their window in the wall

[00:01:52] Said a prayer for grandpapa

[00:01:55] And maybe many more

[00:01:59] Somewhere in the distance

[00:02:02] On a road so far away

[00:02:06] I heard the sound of life

[00:02:09] Though the people left for home

[00:02:42] Three birds flew off a building

[00:02:46] Standing proud against the sky

[00:02:50] Many more flew with them

[00:02:53] Spiralled upward like laughter

[00:02:57] Faster harder

[00:03:01] They rose up in a column

[00:03:04] Hundreds upon hundreds

[00:03:08] Twice that many wings beat

[00:03:11] Four miles across

[00:03:14] Stretched a million miles high

[00:03:18] The living pulsing column

[00:03:22] In the lady of the sky

[00:03:26] Feathers thrashed together

[00:03:30] Locked in that huge one

[00:03:33] I knew no one could see it

[00:03:37] And now that it was gone

[00:03:40] I rubbed my eyes and tried to find

[00:03:44] A reason for the flight

[00:03:48] Exodus escape or was it just for me to see

[00:03:54] Like the mating of the earth and air

[00:03:58] Like water is to flowers

[00:04:02] The envy of her friends

[00:04:05] How far are we from dying

[00:04:07] Is it nearly at an end

[00:04:09] How far are we from dying

[00:04:13] Is it nearly at an end

[00:04:16] How far are we from dying

[00:04:20] Is it nearly at an end

[00:04:24] How far are we from dying

[00:04:28] Is it nearly at an end

[00:04:31] How far are we from dying

[00:04:35] Is it nearly at an end

[00:04:38] How far are we from dying

[00:04:42] Is it nearly at an end

[00:04:45] How far are we from dying

[00:04:49] Is it nearly at an end

[00:04:53] How far are we from dying
