《Leaving The City》歌词

[00:00:00] Leaving the City - Joanna Newsom

[00:00:13] Hay and a clean stall

[00:00:17] And ivy on a garden wall

[00:00:23] And a sign saying sold

[00:00:27] And an old coat for the bad cold

[00:00:43] I believe in you

[00:00:46] Do you believe in me?

[00:00:50] What do you want to do?

[00:00:52] Are we leaving the city?

[00:00:56] On the black road

[00:01:00] Through the gold fields

[00:01:03] While the fiends are plowed

[00:01:07] Towards what we are allowed

[00:01:22] The bridle bends in idle hands

[00:01:25] And slows your canter to a trot

[00:01:27] We mean to stop in increments

[00:01:30] But can't commit, we post and sit in impotence

[00:01:34] The harder the hit, the deeper the dent

[00:01:36] We seek our name, we seek out fame

[00:01:39] In our credentials, paned in glass

[00:01:41] Trying to master incidentals

[00:01:44] Bleach a collar, leech a dollar

[00:01:46] From our cents

[00:01:47] The longer you live, the higher the rent

[00:01:50] Beneath a pale sky

[00:01:54] Beside the red barn

[00:01:56] Below the white clouds

[00:02:00] Is all we are allowed

[00:02:04] Here, the light will seep

[00:02:08] And the scythe will reap

[00:02:12] And spirit will rend

[00:02:15] In counting toward the end

[00:02:24] In December of that year

[00:02:27] The word came down that she was here

[00:02:29] The days were shorter

[00:02:30] I was sure if she came round

[00:02:33] I'd hold my ground

[00:02:34] I can do what they alluded to

[00:02:37] A change that came to pass

[00:02:39] And spring did range, weeping grass

[00:02:42] And sleepless broke

[00:02:43] Itself upon my winter glass

[00:02:46] And I could barely breathe for seeing

[00:02:48] All the splintered light that leaked

[00:02:51] A fish is fleeting, launched in flight

[00:02:53] Unstaunched daylight, brightly bleeding

[00:02:56] Bleached the night with dawn deleting

[00:02:59] In that high sun after our good run

[00:03:06] When the spirit bends

[00:03:11] Beneath knowing it must end

[00:03:14] And that is all I want here

[00:03:18] To draw my gaunt spirit to

[00:03:25] Beneath what I am allowed

[00:03:29] Beneath what I am allowed
