《First Song》歌词

[00:00:00] First Song - Andrew Bird (Andrew Wegman Bird)

[00:00:38] Then it was dusk in Illinois a small boy

[00:00:44] After an afternoon of carting dung hung

[00:00:53] On a rail fence a sapped thing

[00:00:59] So weary to crying

[00:01:05] Dark was growing tall

[00:01:09] He began to hear the pond frogs all calling on his ear

[00:01:17] They were calling on his ear

[00:01:21] They were calling on his ear with what seemed their joy

[00:01:34] Soon the sound was pleasant for a boy

[00:01:38] Listening in the smoky dusk and nightfall of Illinois

[00:01:47] And from the fields two small boys came

[00:01:53] Bearing cornstalk violins

[00:01:59] So they rubbed the cornstalk bows with resins

[00:02:03] And the three just sat there scraping of the joy

[00:02:11] Of their joy theyre scraping of the joy

[00:02:46] It was now fine music the frogs and the boys did

[00:02:50] In the towering Illinois twilight

[00:02:51] Make and into dark in spite a shoulders ache

[00:02:58] A boys hunched body loved out of a stalk

[00:03:02] The first song of his happiness and the song woke his heart

[00:03:06] Into the darkness and sadness of joy

[00:03:13] Dark was growing tall

[00:03:17] He began to hear the pond frogs all calling on his ear

[00:03:24] They were calling on his ear

[00:03:28] They were calling on his ear with what seemed their joy
