《Woods Of Darney》歌词

[00:00:01] Woods Of Darney - Richard Thompson

[00:00:15] I found your picture in a corporal's pocket

[00:00:21] His cold fingers still pressed it to his chest

[00:00:26] Sniper's bullet took his eyes and his breath away

[00:00:32] Now he lies out in the forest with the rest

[00:00:41] You looked shy in your grandmother's wedding dress

[00:00:46] Feet set wide like a farm girl stands

[00:00:52] Too young to love and too young to lose

[00:00:57] In a cracked picture frame in a dead man's hands

[00:01:07] I kept it with me for the luck for the magic

[00:01:11] Maybe fate wouldn't strike in the same place twice

[00:01:17] But something stirred and I dared to dream of you

[00:01:22] And I knew I'd look for you if I should survive

[00:01:31] When we stood down at last it was easy to find you

[00:01:37] And mine was the shoulder you cried on that day

[00:01:43] Just an old comrade doing his duty

[00:01:49] Bringing the news from the woods of Darney

[00:01:57] When I showed you the picture perhaps I felt jealousy

[00:02:02] As your tears welled up with each reminisce

[00:02:08] And my hands may be rougher and my tongue may be coarser

[00:02:14] But I knew I could give you a love good as his

[00:02:55] Now we lie in the darkness together

[00:03:01] Often we lie without speaking this way

[00:03:06] As you stare in the dark do you see your young corporal

[00:03:11] Who never came back from the woods of Darney

[00:03:18] Is it him that you see when we make love together

[00:03:24] Is it him that you see when war fills the sky

[00:03:30] Was he there as you stood

[00:03:32] In your grandmother's wedding dress

[00:03:36] As we made our own vows you and I

[00:03:43] Now the bugle calls they say this is the big one

[00:03:48] A curse on the life of a soldier you say

[00:03:55] But don't you know that's a soldier's small comfort

[00:04:00] For the bugle to sound and to hear and obey

[00:04:09] And I'll carry your picture the one that he carried

[00:04:15] I'll wear your innocence and take my chance

[00:04:20] On a frozen field in a far-flung war

[00:04:25] To win back what we lost in a field in France

[00:04:32] And it's many a soldier who goes into battle

[00:04:38] Your corporal and I we just hear and obey

[00:04:45] Perhaps we'll lie in the darkness together

[00:04:50] With your love to bind us in the woods of Darney
