《The Angel of Lyon》歌词

[00:00:00] The Angel of Lyon - Tom Russell (汤姆罗素)

[00:00:33] He had a vision of Anne Marie

[00:00:37] With a rosary in her hand

[00:00:41] So it's exit the rainmaker

[00:00:45] The old gray flannel man

[00:00:49] With a closet full of business suits

[00:00:53] He left a letter near the phone

[00:00:57] It said I'm on my way to paradise

[00:01:01] To see the angel of lyon

[00:01:07] And then he caught the train to Brussels

[00:01:11] He ordered cognac and croissants

[00:01:16] He made a mental list

[00:01:19] Of things he owned but didn't want

[00:01:23] All the buildings all the real estate

[00:01:27] The antique glass and stone

[00:01:32] He'd trade a vow of poverty

[00:01:35] To see the angel of Lyon

[00:01:42] And he sang ave maria

[00:01:46] Or at least the parts he knew

[00:01:50] And watched the shadow of the train

[00:01:53] On the towns that they rolled through

[00:01:58] And he closed his eyes and he saw two rivers

[00:02:01] The Rhone and the Saone

[00:02:06] The male and female spirit of

[00:02:09] The city of Lyon

[00:02:15] Then he waited on the bridge

[00:02:19] Where they met the year before

[00:02:23] But the days turned into weeks

[00:02:27] And then the seasons numbered four

[00:02:31] And his clothes grew worn and ragged

[00:02:35] As through that town he roamed

[00:02:39] Searching every open window

[00:02:43] For the angel of Lyon

[00:02:50] And he sang Ava maria

[00:02:53] Or at least the parts he knew

[00:02:58] And watched his shadow on the walls

[00:03:01] Of the streets that he walked through

[00:03:06] And he crossed those holy rivers

[00:03:09] The Rhone and the Saone

[00:03:14] They'd not give up the secret of

[00:03:17] The angel of Lyon

[00:03:54] There's a thousand candles burning

[00:03:58] In the basilica tonight

[00:04:02] Where sister eve maria

[00:04:06] Is the keeper of the light

[00:04:10] And down a dream of alleyways

[00:04:13] Walks a saint of rag and bone

[00:04:18] The madman torn asunder

[00:04:22] By the angel of lyon

[00:04:28] And he sang ava maria

[00:04:32] Or at least the parts he knew

[00:04:36] And watched his shadow on the wall

[00:04:40] Of the streets that he crawled through

[00:04:44] And he crossed those holy rivers

[00:04:48] The Rhone and the Saone

[00:04:52] But they'd not give up the secret of

[00:04:56] The angel of Lyon
