《A Stick， A Carrot & String》歌词

[00:00:00] A Stick, A Carrot & String - MeWithoutYou

[00:00:00] The horse's hay beneath his head

[00:00:02] Our Lord was born to a manger bed

[00:00:05] That all whose wells run dry could drink of his supply

[00:00:11] To keep him warm the sheep drew near

[00:00:13] So grateful for his coming here

[00:00:15] Come with news of grace

[00:00:18] Come to take my place

[00:00:21] The donkey whispered in his ear

[00:00:24] Child in 30 some odd years

[00:00:26] You'll ride someone who looks like me

[00:00:29] Untriumphantly

[00:00:31] The cardinals warbled a joyful song

[00:00:34] He'll make right what man made wrong

[00:00:36] Bringing low the hills

[00:00:38] That the valleys might be filled

[00:00:42] Then child asked the birds

[00:00:44] Well aren't they lovely words we sing

[00:00:47] The tiny baby laid there without saying anything

[00:00:55] At a distance stood a mangy goat

[00:00:57] With the crooked teeth and a matted coat

[00:01:00] Weary eyes and worn

[00:01:02] Chipped and twisted horns

[00:01:06] Thinking maybe I'll make friends someday

[00:01:08] With the cows and the hens in the rambouillet

[00:01:10] But for now I'll keep away

[00:01:13] I've got nothing smart to say

[00:01:17] There's a sign on the barn in the cabbage town

[00:01:19] When the rain picks up and the sun goes down

[00:01:21] Sinners come inside

[00:01:24] With no money come and buy

[00:01:26] No clever talk nor a gift to bring

[00:01:29] Requires our lowly lovely king

[00:01:31] Come now empty handed you don't need anything

[00:01:58] And the night was cool and clear as glass

[00:02:01] With the sneaking snake in the garden grass

[00:02:04] Deep cried out to deep

[00:02:06] The disciples fast asleep

[00:02:09] And the snake perked up when he heard you ask

[00:02:12] If you're willing that this cup might pass

[00:02:14] We find our way back home

[00:02:16] Maybe start a family all our own

[00:02:19] But does not the father guide the son

[00:02:22] Not my will but yours be done

[00:02:24] What else here to do

[00:02:26] What else me but you

[00:02:29] And the snake who'd held the world

[00:02:30] A stick a carrot and a string

[00:02:33] Was crushed beneath the foot of your not wanting anything
