《Wise & Holy Woman》歌词

[00:00:01] Wise & Holy Woman - Christy Moore

[00:00:20] I met a woman near the town where I was walkin'

[00:00:26] We both sat together down below the Yellow Furze

[00:00:32] She closed her eyes and started singing

[00:00:38] A song about the light that shines and the wonders of the world

[00:00:44] She sang of the forests on the high high mountain

[00:00:50] The pure clear water and the fresh air we breathe

[00:00:56] Of the bounty we gain from natures abundance

[00:01:02] And how the mighty oak tree grows from a little seed

[00:01:08] She had an everlasting notion

[00:01:13] The wise and holy woman had a neverending dream

[00:01:19] As she called out to the stars glistening on the ocean

[00:01:26] Shine a light shine a light on me

[00:01:34] She sang a song from the streets of Sao Paolo

[00:01:39] For the homeless street children that never learned to smile

[00:01:45] She sang of the shrine they built to Chico Mendez

[00:01:51] Where the plantation workers laid his body in the soil

[00:01:57] She sang of the greed we display before our altars

[00:02:03] The oil soaked cormorant drowning in the tide

[00:02:08] She sang of the halting site way out beyond Clondalkin

[00:02:14] Where Ann Maughan froze to death between the dump and the railway line

[00:02:21] She had an everlasting notion

[00:02:26] The wise and holy woman had a neverending dream

[00:02:31] As she called out to the stars glistening on the ocean

[00:02:38] Shine a light shine a light on me

[00:02:43] She sang of the eagle flying high above the mountain

[00:02:49] The otter that swam through rivers and streams

[00:02:55] Of the lilies that bloomed and the countless wild flowers

[00:03:03] And the rainbow that rose in the valley of tears
