《Acadian Driftwood》歌词

[00:00:01] Acadian Driftwood - Shawn Colvin

[00:00:15] The war was over and the spirit was broken

[00:00:21] The hills were smokin' as the men withdrew

[00:00:27] And we stood on the cliffs and watched the ships

[00:00:33] Slowly sinking to their rendezvous

[00:00:39] They signed a treaty and our homes were taken

[00:00:46] Loved ones forsaken they didn't give a damn

[00:00:52] You try to raise a family end up the enemy

[00:00:58] Over what went down on the plains of Abraham

[00:01:05] Acadian driftwood gypsy tail wind

[00:01:11] They call my home the land of snow

[00:01:17] Canadian cold front movin' in

[00:01:23] What a way to ride oh what a way to go

[00:01:42] Then some returned to the motherland

[00:01:49] The high command had them cast away

[00:01:55] And some stayed on to finish what they started

[00:02:01] They never parted they're just built that way

[00:02:07] We had kin livin' south of the border

[00:02:13] They're a little older and they've been around

[00:02:19] They wrote a letter life is a whole lot better

[00:02:26] So pull up your stakes children and come on down

[00:02:32] Acadian driftwood gypsy tail wind

[00:02:38] They call my home the land of snow

[00:02:44] Canadian cold front movin' in

[00:02:51] What a way to ride oh what a way to go

[00:03:09] Fifteen under zero and the day became a threat

[00:03:16] My clothes were wet and

[00:03:17] I was drenched to the bone

[00:03:22] I've been out ice fishing too much repetition

[00:03:28] Make a man wanna leave the only home he's known

[00:03:34] Sailed out of the gulf headin' for Saint Pierre

[00:03:41] Nothin' to declare all we had was gone

[00:03:47] Broke down along the coast

[00:03:50] But what hurt the most

[00:03:53] Cause when the people there

[00:03:54] Said you better keep movin' on

[00:04:00] Acadian driftwood gypsy tail wind

[00:04:05] They call my home the land of snow

[00:04:12] Canadian cold front movin' in

[00:04:18] What a way to ride oh what a way to go

[00:04:37] Everlasting summer filled with ill-content

[00:04:43] This government had us walkin' in chains

[00:04:49] This isn't my turf this ain't my season

[00:04:56] Can't think of one good reason to remain

[00:05:02] And we worked in the sugar fields up from New Orleans

[00:05:08] It was ever green up until the floods

[00:05:14] You could call it an omen points ya where you're goin'

[00:05:20] But I set my compass north

[00:05:22] I got winter in my blood

[00:05:27] Acadian driftwood gypsy tail wind

[00:05:33] They call my home the land of snow

[00:05:39] Canadian cold front movin' in

[00:05:45] What a way to ride

[00:05:51] What a way to ride

[00:05:53] Oh what a way to go
