《Bone Of Song》歌词

[00:00:00] Bone Of Song - Josh Ritter

[00:00:17] Just where it now lies

[00:00:19] I can no longer say

[00:00:25] I found it on a cold and November day

[00:00:32] In the roots of a sycamore tree

[00:00:35] Where it had hid so long

[00:00:40] In a box made out of myrtle

[00:00:44] Lay the bone of song

[00:00:49] The bone of song was

[00:00:51] A jawbone old and bruised

[00:00:56] And worn out in the service of the muse

[00:01:04] And along its sides

[00:01:06] And teeth were written words

[00:01:13] I ran my palm along them

[00:01:16] And I heard

[00:01:21] Lucky are you who finds me

[00:01:23] In the wilderness

[00:01:28] I am the only unquiet ghost

[00:01:31] That does not seek rest

[00:01:41] The words on the bone of song

[00:01:43] Were close and small

[00:01:45] And though their tongues

[00:01:50] Were dead I found I knew them all

[00:01:55] In the hieroglyphs of quills

[00:01:59] And quatrain lines

[00:02:05] Osiris the fall of Troy Auld Lang Syne

[00:02:13] Kathleen Mauvoreen Magnifical

[00:02:15] Your Cheatin' Heart

[00:02:19] The chords of a covenan

[00:02:23] King singing for the Ark

[00:02:58] Then I saw on a white space that was left

[00:03:06] A blessing written older than the rest

[00:03:13] It said leave me here

[00:03:15] I care not for wealth or fame

[00:03:21] I'll remember your song

[00:03:24] But I'll forget your name

[00:03:30] The words that I sang blew

[00:03:33] Off like the leaves in the wind

[00:03:37] And perched like birds in the branches

[00:03:39] Before landing on the bone again

[00:03:59] Then the bone was quiet

[00:04:01] It said no more to me

[00:04:06] So I wrapped it in the ribbons

[00:04:09] Of a sycamore tree

[00:04:14] And as night had come

[00:04:16] I turned around and headed home

[00:04:22] With a lightness in my step

[00:04:25] And a song in my bones

[00:04:31] Lucky are you who finds me

[00:04:34] In the wilderness

[00:04:39] I am the only unquiet ghost

[00:04:42] That does not seek rest
