《The News About William》歌词

[00:00:00] The News About William - Calexico

[00:00:14] 4 in the morning the sidewalk's asleep

[00:00:19] Dogs on the porch

[00:00:21] Spiders on the leaf

[00:00:24] Shipwrecked by night sailing through days

[00:00:29] Nobody noticed the slipping away

[00:00:43] Connecting the dots

[00:00:45] With thorns in his side

[00:00:48] Boarded up the Windows

[00:00:50] With pain and with pride

[00:00:53] The music box broken that

[00:00:56] Once was his soul

[00:00:59] Its sad little song spinning out of control

[00:01:09] Then came the storm that washed the roads out

[00:01:28] Closed both his eyes and pointed straight south

[00:01:33] Second line drums marched into the sea

[00:01:38] While the clouds overhead cried "mutiny"

[00:01:44] They parted for Cathy and her bitter news

[00:01:49] As her words fail and the sky grew dim

[00:01:54] Recalled how close to that exit I've been

[00:02:10] Ours not to reply ours not to reason why

[00:02:20] The news about William

[00:02:23] The lifeline retreats

[00:02:26] Desire for release

[00:02:29] The thorns in his side
