《A Life》歌词

[00:00:01] A Life - Pearls Before Swine

[00:00:10] The clock has metal hands

[00:00:13] It throws the hours down

[00:00:16] On the ground with a thud

[00:00:20] The sound of blood

[00:00:22] And if you do not forgive me

[00:00:25] I do not know

[00:00:29] What I will do

[00:00:31] As the time goes by

[00:00:35] As the time goes by

[00:00:37] In the spring when he was born

[00:00:39] The soil was soft and good and warm

[00:00:42] His father was a farmer

[00:00:44] The son of the sun

[00:00:45] Said the earth don't wait for a man but once

[00:00:49] And if you do not believe me

[00:00:51] I do not know

[00:00:55] What I will do

[00:00:57] And the time goes by

[00:01:00] And the time goes by

[00:01:01] When he was a boy the fields were full

[00:01:04] The girls were soft and good and warm

[00:01:07] The morning sun was shining

[00:01:10] Like a promise in his eyes

[00:01:13] And if you do not deceive me

[00:01:16] I do not know

[00:01:20] What I will do

[00:01:22] And the time goes by

[00:01:25] And the time goes by

[00:01:27] When he was a man he worked with his hands

[00:01:30] The ground was hard but a place to stand

[00:01:33] But when the autumn came around

[00:01:36] The oxen plowed the land to ridges in the ground

[00:01:39] And the wrinkles in his face

[00:01:40] Like the beaten road showed

[00:01:42] In a man's body

[00:01:43] Is where the time goes

[00:01:47] And if you do not defeat me

[00:01:51] I do not know

[00:01:54] What I will do

[00:01:57] And the time goes by

[00:02:00] And the time goes by

[00:02:01] He gave to the earth and it gave back

[00:02:04] 'Till he had nothing to give at last

[00:02:07] The trembling of his marbled hands

[00:02:10] Showed he knew

[00:02:11] What the earth demanded

[00:02:15] As it waited for him

[00:02:18] And the time goes by

[00:02:20] The clock has metal hands

[00:02:23] It throws the hours down

[00:02:26] On the ground with a thud

[00:02:29] The sound of blood

[00:02:32] And if you do not forgive me

[00:02:35] I do not know

[00:02:38] What I will do

[00:02:41] As the time goes by

[00:02:44] As the time goes by

[00:02:47] As the time goes by
