《Danny’s Downs》歌词

[00:00:00] Danny's Downs - Peter

[00:00:13] On the day little Danny arrived

[00:00:17] His father stared and his mother cried

[00:00:20] They knew his name but they didn't know why

[00:00:24] He looked the way he did

[00:00:28] This thing happens to other kids

[00:00:31] How in the world are we gonna live

[00:00:34] With a boy like that

[00:00:40] Doctor said Dan's the first bad news

[00:00:44] Second is his heart won't make it through

[00:00:48] It must be fixed unless you choose

[00:00:51] To send him back where he came

[00:00:56] Starve the boy from his name

[00:00:59] Just six short days of pain

[00:01:02] Or maybe less

[00:01:08] Danny's downs but love is up

[00:01:11] It's been known to be more than enough

[00:01:15] For more and more of us

[00:01:21] Danny's downs but love is up

[00:01:37] I'm not that strong his father said

[00:01:40] The dreams are gone the hopes have fled

[00:01:44] You won't be long after he's dead

[00:01:48] We'll try again to find

[00:01:52] The child we had in mind

[00:01:55] Where the hell are those papers to sign

[00:01:58] And the man broke down

[00:02:04] In a private room Danny's mother wept

[00:02:07] As an old Jamaican woman swept

[00:02:12] And not by chance their eyes met

[00:02:14] She said

[00:02:15] God's gifts are only good y'know

[00:02:19] And there ain't no love the Lord can't grow

[00:02:22] Aw honey take that boy with you when you go

[00:02:27] Back home

[00:02:31] Danny's Downs but love is up

[00:02:35] It's been known to be more than enough

[00:02:38] For more and more of us

[00:02:45] Danny's downs but love in

[00:02:47] But love is up

[00:03:08] It's been eight years since the surgery

[00:03:12] His sister's five his brother's three

[00:03:16] He goes to school and he knows how to read

[00:03:20] He takes the bus home by himself

[00:03:23] Puts his lunch pail back upon the shelf

[00:03:27] And he hugs his momma till

[00:03:30] She melts

[00:03:31] To the floor

[00:03:36] They're more than a home they're a family

[00:03:40] 'Cause blood and bones are still souls y'see

[00:03:43] And someone's baby's just another Danny

[00:03:47] And in the guest room in the back

[00:03:50] Lives this old Jamaican black

[00:03:54] 'Cause when you give a gift

[00:03:56] God gives it back again

[00:04:03] Danny's downs but love is up

[00:04:07] And it's been known to be more than enough

[00:04:10] For more and more and more

[00:04:12] More more more of us

[00:04:17] Danny's downs but love is up
