《Weeping》歌词

[00:00:00] Weeping - Soweto String Quartet (索韦托弦乐四重奏)/Vusi Mahlasela

[00:00:12] I knew a man who lived in fear

[00:00:17] It was huge it was angry it was drawing near

[00:00:24] Behind his house a secret place

[00:00:29] Was the shadow of a demo

[00:00:33] He could never face

[00:00:36] He built a wall of steel and flame

[00:00:42] And men with guns to keep it tame

[00:00:48] And standing back he made it plain

[00:00:53] That the nightmare would never ever rise again

[00:01:00] But the fear and the fire and the guns remain

[00:01:07] It doesn't matter now it's over anyhow

[00:01:13] He tells the world that it's sleeping

[00:01:19] But as the night came around

[00:01:22] I heard its lonely sound

[00:01:25] It wasn't roaring it was weeping

[00:01:31] It wasn't roaring it was weeping

[00:01:46] It was

[00:01:53] And then one day

[00:01:55] The neighbors came

[00:01:58] They were curious to know about

[00:02:01] The smoke and flame

[00:02:05] They stood around outside the wall

[00:02:10] But of course there was nothing

[00:02:13] To be heard at all

[00:02:16] My friends he said we've reached our goal

[00:02:22] The threat is under firm control

[00:02:29] As long as peace and order reign

[00:02:34] I'll be damned if I can see a reason to explain

[00:02:40] Why the fear and the fire

[00:02:43] And the guns remain

[00:02:47] It doesn't matter now it's over anyhow

[00:02:53] He tells the world that it's sleeping

[00:02:59] But as the night came around

[00:03:02] I heard its lonely sound

[00:03:05] It wasn't roaring it was weeping

[00:03:11] It wasn't roaring it was weeping

[00:03:40] Say ah say ah say ah

[00:03:46] Say ah say ah say ah

[00:03:52] Say ah say ah say ah

[00:03:58] Say ah say ah say ah

[00:04:05] It doesn't matter now it's over anyhow

[00:04:11] He tells the world that it's sleeping

[00:04:17] But as the night came around

[00:04:20] I heard its lonely sound

[00:04:23] It wasn't roaring it was weeping

[00:04:29] It wasn't roaring it was weeping

[00:04:35] It wasn't roaring it was weeping

[00:04:41] It wasn't roaring it was weeping

[00:04:53] It wasn't roaring it was weeping

[00:05:06] It wasn't roaring it was weeping

[00:05:11] It wasn't roaring it was weeping

[00:05:17] It wasn't roaring it was weeping

[00:05:29] It wasn't roaring it was weeping
