《The Flagmaker， 1775》歌词

[00:00:01] The Flagmaker, 1775 - Jessica Molaskey

[00:00:13] With the guns flaring

[00:00:16] And drums pounding

[00:00:20] There's no hope of getting rest

[00:00:25] With the lights glaring

[00:00:29] And calls sounding

[00:00:32] And the clenching in your chest

[00:00:39] When the man's in battle

[00:00:42] And the baby's rattle

[00:00:46] Only makes you more depressed

[00:00:53] The wise woman does what she knows

[00:00:58] If it's fighting she fights

[00:01:01] If it's sewing she sews

[00:01:05] When the tension inside

[00:01:07] Overflows and goes too far

[00:01:12] One more star one more stripe

[00:01:16] To escape your lonely bed

[00:01:20] One more star one more stripe

[00:01:25] Join the blue the white and red

[00:01:29] One more star one more stripe

[00:01:33] As you pray your child's not dead

[00:01:41] With the roof leaking

[00:01:45] And walls wetter

[00:01:48] And the night as black as pitch

[00:01:56] With the wind shrieking

[00:02:00] And his last letter

[00:02:03] Says his fighting in a ditch

[00:02:11] Then the candle flickers

[00:02:15] And the river bickers

[00:02:18] What else can you do but stitch

[00:02:26] One more star one more stripe

[00:02:30] Till you feel the rising sun

[00:02:34] One more star one more stripe

[00:02:38] Till this foolishness is done

[00:02:42] One more star one more stripe

[00:02:47] We'll be waiting when we've won

[00:02:53] Grab a needle grab a thimble

[00:02:55] If it's all that keeps you sane

[00:02:57] Think of freedom as a symbol

[00:02:58] Think of justice as a game

[00:03:00] Think of life with independence

[00:03:03] Think of muskets and brigades

[00:03:04] Think of taking the oppressors

[00:03:06] Think of banners and parades

[00:03:08] When the gate creaks

[00:03:09] And the paint cracks

[00:03:10] And the cat cries

[00:03:11] And the night falls

[00:03:12] Raise a flag

[00:03:13] Raise a flag

[00:03:15] Raise a flag till you're free

[00:03:21] One more star one more stripe

[00:03:25] Till this bloodshed's finally through

[00:03:29] One more star one more stripe

[00:03:33] Till they come back home to you

[00:03:36] One more star one more stripe

[00:03:41] When there's nothing you can do

[00:03:53] If they take all the things

[00:03:56] That define what you were

[00:03:59] And are

[00:04:04] One more star
