《Blue Wing》歌词

[00:00:00] Blue Wing - Dave Alvin

[00:00:01] He had a blue wing tattooed on his shoulder

[00:00:06] It might have been a blue bird I don't know

[00:00:11] But he gets stone drunk and talks about Alaska

[00:00:16] The salmon boats and 45 below

[00:00:21] He said he got that blue wing up in walla walla

[00:00:26] Where his cellmate there was little Willy John

[00:00:31] And willy he was once a great blues singer

[00:00:36] And winging willy wrote him up a song

[00:00:40] He said it's dark in here can't see the sky

[00:00:46] But I look at this blue wing and I close my eyes

[00:00:50] And I fly away beyond these walls

[00:00:55] Up above the clouds where the rain don't fall

[00:01:03] On a poor man's dreams

[00:01:10] They paroled blue wing in August of 1963

[00:01:15] And he moved on picking apples to the town of wenatchee

[00:01:20] Then winter finally caught him in a run-down trailer park

[00:01:25] On the south side of seattle where the days grow gray and dark

[00:01:30] And he drank and he dreamt of visions when the salmon still ran free

[00:01:35] And his father's fathers crossed that wild old bering sea

[00:01:40] And the land belonged to everyone and there were old songs yet to sing

[00:01:45] Now it's narrowed down to a cheap hotel and a tattooed prison wing

[00:01:49] He said it's dark in here can't see the sky

[00:01:54] But I look at this blue wing and I close my eyes

[00:01:59] And I fly away beyond these walls

[00:02:04] Up above the clouds where the rain don't fall

[00:02:11] On a poor man's dreams

[00:02:34] Well he drank his way to LA and that's where he died

[00:02:39] But no one knew his Christian name and there was no one there to cry

[00:02:44] But I dreamt there was a service a preacher and a cheap pine box

[00:02:49] And half way through the service blue wing began to talk

[00:02:54] He said it's dark in here can't see the sky

[00:02:59] But I look at this blue wing and I close my eyes

[00:03:04] And then I fly away beyond these walls

[00:03:09] Up above the clouds where the rain don't fall

[00:03:16] On a poor man's dreams

[00:03:21] On a poor man's dreams

[00:03:29] On a poor man's dreams
