《The Bridge》歌词

[00:00:00] The Bridge - Scott Walker (斯考特·沃克)

[00:00:11] I've watched her from the river banks

[00:00:17] I knew her when she danced with dreams

[00:00:23] White doves were there to dress her hair

[00:00:28] And so was Madelaine

[00:00:34] At night the people's faces danced

[00:00:39] Like pearls colliding on the breast

[00:00:45] Of fat Marie whose thunder laugh

[00:00:51] Was just a thread from crying

[00:00:59] Her sailors stained her cobblestones

[00:01:05] With wine and piss and death desire

[00:01:11] And sometimes blood for Madelaine

[00:01:16] Whose laughter was the night

[00:01:22] Her girls would lift their dresses high

[00:01:27] And breathe the stars and kiss the sky

[00:01:33] She'd smother them with whispers then

[00:01:39] Embrace them with her sighs

[00:01:45] Before the bottle dulled my eyes

[00:01:51] And made me so I couldn't stand

[00:01:57] I'd overact and play the clown

[00:02:03] When Madelaine would cry

[00:02:08] And now I watch from riverbanks

[00:02:14] I watch it weave it's memories

[00:02:20] White doves turned gray and flew away

[00:02:26] And so did Madelaine
