《Mary’s Eyes》歌词

[00:00:00] Mary's Eyes - Janis Ian

[00:00:01] Written by：Janis Ian

[00:00:13] Mary's eyes are startling blue

[00:00:17] And her hair's newcastle gold

[00:00:21] And she walks the thin white line

[00:00:24] Between the body and the soul

[00:00:28] She's as faithful to her history

[00:00:32] As a novice to his fast

[00:00:35] For she is standing on the bones

[00:00:38] Of ireland's past

[00:00:43] She is singing of the troubles

[00:00:46] And a fire in the land

[00:00:50] 'Til I can almost feel the famine

[00:00:54] Slipping through my trembling hand

[00:00:58] And I wonder as I hear her

[00:01:01] That the spirit still shines through

[00:01:05] And she can reach across the ocean deep

[00:01:09] And break my heart in two

[00:01:27] Mary's wise as she is foolish

[00:01:31] She's as constant as the tide

[00:01:34] For it's a woman's heart that beats beneath

[00:01:38] That stubborn irish pride

[00:01:42] We are saints and we are sinners

[00:01:45] We are heroes we are thieves

[00:01:49] But we are all of us beginners

[00:01:53] On the road to galilee

[00:01:56] We are singing of the troubles

[00:02:00] And a fire in the land

[00:02:03] 'Til I can almost feel the famine

[00:02:07] Slipping through my trembling hand

[00:02:11] And I wonder as I hear her

[00:02:14] That the spirit still shines through

[00:02:18] And she can reach across the ocean deep

[00:02:22] And break my heart in two

[00:02:41] So let us hoist a pint of silence

[00:02:45] To the east where ireland lies

[00:02:49] And we'll stare across the waters

[00:02:53] For a glimpse of mary's eyes

[00:02:57] We are ships without a harbour

[00:03:00] We are sailors on dry land

[00:03:05] And the song goes on forever

[00:03:09] Even though the record can't

[00:03:13] We are singing of the troubles

[00:03:17] And a fire in the land

[00:03:21] 'Til I can almost feel the famine

[00:03:25] Slipping through my trembling hand

[00:03:28] And I wonder as I hear her

[00:03:32] How the spirit still shines through

[00:03:36] And she can reach across the ocean deep

[00:03:40] And break my heart in two
