《Remember The Mountain Bed》歌词

[00:00:00] Remember The Mountain Bed - Billy Bragg

[00:00:07] Do you still sing of the mountain bed

[00:00:10] We made of limbs and leaves:

[00:00:14] Do you still sigh there near the sky

[00:00:17] Where the holly berry bleeds:

[00:00:23] You laughed as I covered you over

[00:00:25] With leaves face breast hips and thighs

[00:00:31] You smiled when I said the leaves were

[00:00:34] Just the color of your eyes

[00:01:13] Rosin smells and turpentine smells

[00:01:17] From eucalyptus and pine

[00:01:21] Bitter tastes of twigs we chewed

[00:01:24] Where tangled woodvines twine

[00:01:29] Trees held us in on all four sides so thick

[00:01:33] We could not see

[00:01:38] I could not see any wrong in you

[00:01:41] And you saw none in me

[00:01:55] Your arm was brown against the ground

[00:01:58] Your cheeks part of the sky

[00:02:03] As your fingers played with grassy moss

[00:02:05] And limber did you lie:

[00:02:11] Your stomach moved beneath your shirt

[00:02:14] And your knees were in the air

[00:02:20] Your feet played games with mountain roots

[00:02:23] As you lay thinking there

[00:02:32] Below us the trees grew clumps of trees

[00:02:35] Raised families of trees and they

[00:02:39] As proud as we tossed their heads

[00:02:42] In the wind and flung good seeds away:

[00:02:47] The sun was hot and the sun

[00:02:50] Was bright down in the valley below

[00:02:56] Where people starved and hungry

[00:02:58] For life so empty come and go

[00:03:08] There in the shade and hid from

[00:03:11] The sun we freed our minds and learned

[00:03:16] Our greatest reason for being here

[00:03:19] Our bodies moved and burned

[00:03:24] There on our mountain bed of leaves

[00:03:27] We learned lifes reason why

[00:03:33] The people laugh and love and dream

[00:03:36] They fight they hate to die

[00:03:44] The smell of your hair I know is still there

[00:03:48] If most of our leaves are blown

[00:03:52] Our words still ring in the brush

[00:03:54] And the trees where singing seeds are sown

[00:04:00] Your shape and form is dim

[00:04:02] But plain there on our mountain bed

[00:04:08] I see my life was brightest where you laughed

[00:04:12] And laid your head

[00:04:25] I learned the reason why man must work

[00:04:29] And how to dream big dreams

[00:04:33] To conquer time and space

[00:04:35] And fight the rivers and the seas

[00:04:41] I stand here filled with my emptiness now

[00:04:44] And look at city and land

[00:04:49] And I know why farms and cities are built

[00:04:52] By hot warm nervous hands

[00:05:01] I crossed many states just to stand here now

[00:05:04] My face all hot with tears

[00:05:08] I crossed city and valley desert and stream

[00:05:12] To bring my body here:

[00:05:16] My history and future blaze bright in me

[00:05:20] And all my joy and pain

[00:05:25] Go through my head on our mountain bed

[00:05:28] Where I smell your hair again

[00:05:37] All this day long I linger here

[00:05:40] And on in through the night

[00:05:44] My greeds desires my cravings hopes

[00:05:47] My dreams inside me fight:

[00:05:52] My loneliness healed my emptiness filled

[00:05:56] I walk above all pain

[00:06:01] Back to the breasts of my woman and child

[00:06:04] To scatter my seeds again
