《Yon Two Crows》歌词

[00:00:00] Yon Two Crows - Mark Knopfler (马克·诺普弗勒)

[00:00:47] Pennies from heaven

[00:00:48] Don't make me laugh

[00:00:50] Here all you'll get

[00:00:52] Is the pattering rain

[00:00:54] Or yon two crows up over the hill

[00:00:57] Looking for winterkill

[00:01:01] Always at your boots

[00:01:03] The mud behind the byre

[00:01:06] With its clammy hold

[00:01:09] Would mock you up a grave

[00:01:10] Here in the mire of a wrecked sheepfold

[00:01:17] And all you'll bring to this

[00:01:18] Is muscle and grit

[00:01:21] Persistence that's just about it

[00:01:24] What made you think

[00:01:25] There'd be a living in sheep

[00:01:28] Eat work eat work and sleep

[00:01:35] Duck under the eaves

[00:01:36] Of the bothy

[00:01:38] To sit here caged by rain

[00:01:42] Somewhere to go conjure

[00:01:43] A next move

[00:01:44] When I have to think again

[00:01:50] The dog lifts his gaze to plead

[00:01:53] Believes the wizard has a magic stick

[00:01:57] Leans his weight into my tweed

[00:01:59] I give an unholy hand to lick

[00:02:04] I take a swig of sheep dip

[00:02:06] From my flask

[00:02:09] And once again I ask

[00:02:12] What made you think

[00:02:13] There'd be a living in sheep

[00:02:15] Eat work eat work and sleep

[00:02:43] They were at this game

[00:02:44] Two hundred years ago

[00:02:46] Had thirty ways

[00:02:47] Of dying young poor souls

[00:02:50] Laid to rest in their soggy rows

[00:02:53] Rain on their holy books

[00:02:58] Blood and whisky

[00:02:59] On the tongue

[00:03:01] And no-one watching over anyone

[00:03:05] No-one left but your stubborn one

[00:03:08] And the crows and rooks

[00:03:13] Ah the dying young

[00:03:18] Well I'm not done

[00:03:20] You watch me and I'll watch thee

[00:03:23] I can still work for two men

[00:03:25] And drink for three

[00:03:27] And I raise my flask

[00:03:29] To the clearing skies

[00:03:31] To you sweepers

[00:03:32] You carrion spies

[00:03:36] To scavenge and survive

[00:03:39] If you can do it so can I
