《Sharpest Blade》歌词

[00:00:00] Sharpest Blade - Over The Rhine

[00:00:09] There was a time

[00:00:13] I could sleep anywhere­­

[00:00:17] My feet on a chair

[00:00:20] My heart in the woods;

[00:00:27] But love was aloof

[00:00:29] Just a beggar for tips

[00:00:36] A mime on whose lips

[00:00:40] No promises stood

[00:00:45] But you can cut me quick

[00:00:49] In the light of the shade

[00:00:54] With the edge of the green

[00:00:58] Of the yard's sharpest blade;

[00:01:03] When nothing I knew

[00:01:07] Was all that it seemed

[00:01:14] I still dreamed

[00:01:16] Of a love to outlive us

[00:01:18] I still prayed

[00:01:20] That this night would outlast us

[00:01:23] And redeem some small thing

[00:01:30] Far beyond me

[00:01:41] Blossoms begin

[00:01:46] Like the tip of a spear

[00:01:50] Or the curve of a tear

[00:01:53] From a soldier who weeps;

[00:01:59] Seducing the guard

[00:02:03] Of lost years falling by­­

[00:02:08] As flowers to lie

[00:02:13] On the dead feigning sleep

[00:02:18] But you cut me quick

[00:02:22] In the light of the shade

[00:02:27] On the edge of the green

[00:02:31] Of the yard's dark parade;

[00:02:36] When nothing we knew

[00:02:40] Was all that it seemed

[00:02:46] I still dreamed

[00:02:49] Of a love to outlive us

[00:02:51] I still prayed

[00:02:53] That this night would forgive us

[00:02:55] And redeem some small thing

[00:03:04] Far beyond me

[00:03:49] But you cut me quick

[00:03:53] In the light of the shade

[00:03:58] On the edge of the green

[00:04:02] Of the yard's sharpest blade;

[00:04:07] When nothing we knew

[00:04:11] Was all that it seemed

[00:04:17] I still dreamed

[00:04:19] Of a love to outlive us

[00:04:22] I still prayed

[00:04:24] That this night will convince us

[00:04:26] And redeem some small thing

[00:04:35] Far beyond me
