《Sleepy-Town》歌词

[00:00:00] Sleepy-Town - Jim White

[00:00:18] I whisper beautiful secrets into

[00:00:23] The drainpipes at night

[00:00:28] For the old folks while they're sleeping

[00:00:33] Something to help them with their dreams

[00:00:38] I climb the wall to the cemetery

[00:00:43] Lay down on the grave of my father

[00:00:48] I hear him asking me for forgiveness

[00:00:53] So I close my eyes in prayer

[00:00:58] And then a rainy-rainy-rain falls down

[00:01:02] A cool rainy-rain upon my head

[00:01:07] Makes the river overflow it's banks

[00:01:12] And wash my cares away to Sleepy-town

[00:01:27] I pour whiskey in the honeycomb

[00:01:32] It makes the bees all turn to angels

[00:01:36] I watch them fly off into heaven

[00:01:41] They Disappear where I can't follow

[00:01:46] And I would write Jesus a letter

[00:01:51] But I hear that he don't speak English

[00:01:56] So instead I'll just throw these cobblestones

[00:02:00] Until I ring that old church bell

[00:02:05] Until the rainy-rainy-rain fall down

[00:02:09] Cool rainy-rain upon my head

[00:02:14] Makes the river overflow it's banks

[00:02:19] And wash my cares away to Sleepy-town

[00:02:26] To Sleepy-town

[00:02:35] In Sleepy town

[00:02:38] Sleepy town

[00:02:40] You let the wild wind blow away your name

[00:02:44] In Sleepy town

[00:02:48] Sleepy town

[00:02:49] You let the healing rain just wash your pain away

[00:03:11] I see a light on in the station

[00:03:15] Yeah someone is waiting for a train

[00:03:20] And I envy them their leaving

[00:03:25] As I turn to head back home again

[00:03:30] For soon the morning sun will rise

[00:03:34] And this little town will open up it's eyes

[00:03:39] Return from the land where I've never been

[00:03:44] From a Sleepy-town that's free

[00:03:50] From all that rainy-rainy-rain fall down

[00:03:55] The cool rainy-rain upon my head

[00:04:00] Makes the river overflow it's banks

[00:04:05] And wash my cares away

[00:04:13] Yeah to Sleepy-town

[00:04:17] Sleepy town

[00:04:19] Sleepy town

[00:04:22] Sleepy town

[00:04:24] Sleepy town

[00:04:27] Sleepy town

[00:04:28] Sleepy town

[00:04:29] Sleepy Sleepy town
