《The Good Gardener(On How He Fell)》歌词

[00:00:00] The Good Gardener---Augie March

[00:00:09] Here sits a once good gardener pale as a shadow of a doubt

[00:00:19] Once a happy dweller of a garden good once a sleepy sinner

[00:00:26] Once cast out

[00:00:31] To the sea where the crossy-eyed maids murmur low ＂do you see do you see

[00:00:38] Where the doubts cross his shadow ＂

[00:00:41] Drowned and amoral I pollinate the coral and reek of the deep

[00:00:47] Where I＇ve tended the water weed -

[00:00:50] I was once your good gardener sing to bring on Spring

[00:00:58] I know where your good grass grows

[00:01:01] I know what your boyfriend knows

[00:01:04] I was your good gardener

[00:01:34] I saw twilight car waxers corpulent dog walkers

[00:01:39] Clean canny couples on the sunset strip

[00:01:43] From a tower forty miles to the east of Augusta saw a plague on the Indian

[00:01:50] A＇coming on a windship

[00:01:52] You were in the garden when the wind swept up

[00:01:57] And took the foul words from your mouth

[00:02:01] Now you know what your sarcasm really really means

[00:02:06] It＇s the tearing with your teeth of the flesh from the bones of your brother -

[00:02:12] Kill the shrub to fertilise the flower

[00:02:15] Did I hear you saying that the form doesn＇t matter

[00:02:19] Well form into matter the matter is forever but only in a good garden

[00:02:46] Black rock bound in the Brighton bowl where the seas of desolation roll

[00:02:55] Where you＇re borne and borne

[00:02:57] And borne in again to the pebble-feather shore of forgotten friends

[00:03:04] Think how you can＇t see the science without seeing first the self

[00:03:09] But then nobody thinks of growing somebody else

[00:03:13] And how the sun hungry sun holds the withered withered world

[00:03:18] So why shouldn＇t I kiss the beautiful girl

[00:03:23] When I was her good gardener

[00:03:28] Sing of the Summer sham

[00:03:32] O see them grow tall see them in their rot

[00:03:37] See them go to seed in the cemetery plot

[00:03:42] I was your good gardener

[00:03:46] Sing to bring on Spring

[00:03:51] O ice of Winter would crackle and splinter with my love in everything

[00:04:00] Ice of Winter would crackle and splinter with my love in everything

[00:04:09] I was your good gardener

[00:04:26] The sea is stark and lovely and it scares me to the point of rapture

[00:04:35] I was your good gardener of some good stature

[00:04:44] The sea is stark and lovely and it scares me to the point of rapture

[00:04:54] I was your good gardener now I - can barely - look at ya
