《Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands》歌词

[00:00:18] With your mercury mouth in the missionary times

[00:00:26] And your eyes like smoke and your prayers like rhymes

[00:00:35] And your silver cross and your voice like chimes

[00:00:43] Oh who do they think could bury you

[00:00:51] With your pockets well protected at last

[00:01:00] And your streetcar visions which you place on the grass

[00:01:08] And your flesh like silk And you face like glass

[00:01:17] Who among them do they think could carry you

[00:01:26] Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands

[00:01:34] Where the sad-eyed prophet says that no man comes

[00:01:44] My warehouse eyes my Arabian drums

[00:01:55] Should I put them by your gate

[00:02:03] Oh sad-eyed lady should I wait

[00:02:10] With your sheets like metal and your belt like lace

[00:02:20] And your deck of cards missing the jack and the ace

[00:02:28] And your basement clothes and your hollow face

[00:02:36] Who among them can think he could outguess you

[00:02:44] With your silhouette when the sunlight dims

[00:02:54] Into your eyes where the moonlight swims

[00:03:02] And your match-book songs and your gypsy hymns

[00:03:10] Who among them would try to impress you

[00:03:19] Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands

[00:03:27] Where the sad-eyed prophet says that no man comes

[00:03:37] My warehouse eyes my Arabian drums

[00:03:49] Should I put them by your gate

[00:03:56] Oh sad-eyed lady should I wait

[00:04:04] The kings of Tyrus with their convict list

[00:04:13] Are waiting in line for their geranium kiss

[00:04:21] And you wouldn't know it would happen like this

[00:04:30] But who among them really wants just to kiss you

[00:04:38] With your childhood flames on your midnight rug

[00:04:47] And your Spanish manners and your mother's drugs

[00:04:55] And your cowboy mouth and your curfew plugs

[00:05:03] Who among them do you think could resist you

[00:05:13] Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands

[00:05:21] Where the sad-eyed prophet says that no man comes

[00:05:31] My warehouse eyes my Arabian drums

[00:05:42] Should I put them by your gate

[00:05:50] Oh sad-eyed lady should I wait

[00:05:58] Oh the farmers and the businessmen they all did decide

[00:06:07] To show you the dead angels that they used to hide

[00:06:16] But why did they pick you to sympathize with their side

[00:06:23] How could they ever mistake you

[00:06:32] They wished you'd accepted the blame for the farm

[00:06:40] But with the sea at your feet and the phony false alarm

[00:06:48] And with the child of a hoodlum wrapped up in your arms

[00:06:57] How could they ever ever persuade you

[00:07:05] Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands

[00:07:14] Where the sad-eyed prophet says that no man comes

[00:07:23] My warehouse eyes my Arabian drums

[00:07:35] Should I put them by your gate

[00:07:41] Oh sad-eyed lady should I wait

[00:07:50] With your sheet-metal memory of Cannery Row

[00:07:59] And your magazine-husband who one day just had to go

[00:08:07] And your gentleness now which you just can't help but show

[00:08:16] Who among them do you think would employ you

[00:08:24] Now you stand with your thief you're on his parole

[00:08:32] With your holy medallion which your fingertips fold

[00:08:41] And your saintlike face and your ghostlike soul

[00:08:49] Who among them do you think could destroy you

[00:08:58] Sad-eyed lady of the lowlands

[00:09:07] Where the sad-eyed prophet says that no man comes

[00:09:16] My warehouse eyes my Arabian drums

[00:09:28] Should I put them by your gate

[00:09:34] Oh sad-eyed lady should I wait
