《The Drunken Boat》歌词

[00:00:00] The Drunken Boat - Simon Joyner

[00:00:21] Laid on my back in the drunken boat

[00:00:26] I tops of passing trees

[00:00:31] Costumed in craning rubber masks

[00:00:37] Locust bitten leaves

[00:00:42] Clouds beyond they crouched by too

[00:00:48] Only at half speed

[00:00:52] Memory drank from the horizon

[00:00:58] Memory drank from the horizon

[00:01:03] Memory drank from the horizon

[00:01:06] While my eyes dried breeze

[00:01:20] I was fleeing the bleeding festival

[00:01:25] The circus on dry land

[00:01:30] Trial was finally over there

[00:01:35] And I still had both my hands

[00:01:41] I only lifted a loaf of bread

[00:01:46] They said I'd stolen someone's child

[00:01:51] Now my days are spent out in the open

[00:01:57] Days are spent out in the open

[00:02:02] Days are spent out in the open

[00:02:06] While my dreams bounced around the prison yard

[00:02:15] Salty waves that blend and break

[00:02:19] Will take me to my home

[00:02:24] I let go of the rope

[00:02:29] And cut the anchor

[00:02:35] Sunburned path of foam and tide

[00:02:40] On a bed of morning mist

[00:02:45] Has lured my drunken boat

[00:02:49] Into the water

[00:03:11] Seabirds flew forward across the sun

[00:03:16] Wings woven to the gales

[00:03:21] Syncronized dance they'd always known

[00:03:26] Even before they crawled from their shells

[00:03:31] I asked the boat Will you care me

[00:03:36] Until the wind chews up your sails

[00:03:41] And night grew black gulls attacked

[00:03:47] Night grew black gulls attacked

[00:03:52] Night grew black gulls attacked

[00:03:57] And pecked it full of stars

[00:04:09] I flowed finally to the sea

[00:04:14] I begun on the longest river

[00:04:19] Where I watched my life stand still behind me

[00:04:24] To be eaten by the rain and the kudzu

[00:04:29] And now I was splashing passed the point

[00:04:35] Of grief or even hunger

[00:04:39] Just as I closed my eyes to sleep

[00:04:44] Just as I closed my eyes to sleep

[00:04:49] Just as I closed my eyes to sleep

[00:04:54] Lightning cracked the swollen mirror

[00:05:02] Salty waves that blend and break

[00:05:06] Will take me to my home

[00:05:11] I let go of the rope

[00:05:16] And cut the anchor

[00:05:22] Sunburned path of foam and tide

[00:05:26] On a bed of morning mist

[00:05:31] Has lured my drunken boat

[00:05:36] Into the water

[00:06:02] Woke up on a drifting plant

[00:06:07] Shackled to a splinter

[00:06:13] Faces frowned in the clouds above

[00:06:17] A calm followed the disaster

[00:06:22] I had no water nor any crumbs

[00:06:27] And I was shaken by my own laughter

[00:06:32] Why waste time learning to swim

[00:06:38] Why waste time learning to swim

[00:06:43] Why waste time learning to swim

[00:06:46] When it's how you float that matters

[00:07:00] What else can I tell you friend

[00:07:05] Course I didn't live

[00:07:09] My story is an apparition

[00:07:15] Another sailor's myth

[00:07:19] But don't let the steadfast earthworm catch you

[00:07:25] Sleeping on the ground

[00:07:29] Lay down with the drunken boat

[00:07:35] Lay down with the drunken boat

[00:07:39] Lay down with the drunken boat

[00:07:43] Where gold is scattered all around

[00:07:52] Salty waves that blend and break

[00:07:56] Will take me to my home

[00:08:01] I let go of the rope and cut the anchor

[00:08:11] Sunburned path of foam and tide

[00:08:15] On a bed of morning mist

[00:08:20] Has lured my drunken boat into the water
