《The Tea Leaf Prophecy (Lay Down Your Arms)》歌词

[00:00:00] The Tea Leaf Prophecy (Lay Down Your Arms) - Joni Mitchell (琼妮·米切尔)

[00:00:13] Lay down your arms

[00:00:21] Lay em down lay em down now

[00:00:30] Lay down your arms

[00:00:37] Newsreels rattle the nazi dread

[00:00:41] The able bodied have shipped away

[00:00:46] Molly mcgee gets her tea leaves read

[00:00:51] You'll be married in a month they say

[00:00:56] These leaves are crazy

[00:01:00] Look at this town there's no men left

[00:01:04] Just frail old boys and babies

[00:01:08] Talking to teacher in the treble clef

[00:01:15] She plants her garden in the spring

[00:01:24] She does the winter shovelling

[00:01:32] Tokyo rose on the radio

[00:01:43] She says she's leaving but she don't go

[00:01:50] Out of the blue just passing thru

[00:01:53] A young flight sergeant On two weeks leave

[00:01:58] Says molly mcgee no one else will do

[00:02:02] And seals the tea leaf prophecy

[00:02:07] Oh these nights are strong and soft

[00:02:12] Private passions and secret storms

[00:02:17] Nothing about him ticks her off

[00:02:21] And he looks so cute in his uniform

[00:02:28] She plants her garden in the spring

[00:02:37] He does the winter shovelling

[00:02:44] But summer's just a sneeze in a long long bad-winter cold

[00:02:55] She says I'm leaving here but she don't go

[00:03:02] Sleep little darling This is your happy home

[00:03:11] Hiroshima cannot be pardoned

[00:03:16] Don't have kids when you get grown

[00:03:19] Because this world is shattered

[00:03:25] The wise are mourning

[00:03:27] The fools are joking

[00:03:29] Oh what does it matter

[00:03:33] The wash needs ironing and the fire needs stoking

[00:03:40] She plants her garden in the spring

[00:03:50] He does the winter shovelling

[00:03:58] The three of em laughing round the radio

[00:04:08] She says I'm leaving here but she don't go

[00:04:17] She plants her garden in the spring

[00:04:26] They do the winter shovelling
