《Dark-Eyed Prince》歌词

[00:00:00] Dark-Eyed Prince - Danny Schmidt

[00:00:15] Once upon a time

[00:00:17] In a kingdom ill-defined

[00:00:20] A dark-eyed prince sat sideways

[00:00:22] On his throne

[00:00:26] And he cast aside the thoughts

[00:00:28] Of his princess long and lost

[00:00:31] And decided he'd live principally alone

[00:00:37] So he built himself a castle made

[00:00:40] Of stumbling blocks and bricks

[00:00:43] And he filled the mote

[00:00:45] With crocodile tears and other tricks

[00:00:48] But he forgot to build the doorway

[00:00:51] He forgot to build the gate

[00:00:54] So he had to build a catapult

[00:00:57] Just to knock the wall away

[00:01:12] And he'd venture out at night

[00:01:15] Bejeweled and erudite

[00:01:18] And he'd ride from town

[00:01:20] To town and farm to farm

[00:01:24] And he'd laugh at all the sheep

[00:01:27] And at the company they keep

[00:01:30] And he'd burn down

[00:01:30] All the churches and the barns

[00:01:35] Until he'd find a proper damsel

[00:01:38] Then he'd play the proper prince

[00:01:41] And he'd lead her home

[00:01:43] With apples and a promise on a stick

[00:01:46] Til she'd fall upon the pillow

[00:01:50] Then he'd fall upon the dawn

[00:01:53] And he'd close his eyes

[00:01:54] To hers and then just dream

[00:01:57] That she was gone

[00:02:11] So he swore upon the crown

[00:02:14] That he'd melt desire down

[00:02:16] And he boarded up

[00:02:18] His windows and his eyes

[00:02:22] But he still could hear the sound of

[00:02:25] The rain upon the ground

[00:02:28] And he still could feel

[00:02:29] His face against the sky

[00:02:34] And how the birds and how the bees

[00:02:36] They each took turns upon their knees

[00:02:40] And how the “Take me

[00:02:41] If you dare to”

[00:02:42] Turned to “Thank you if you please”

[00:02:45] And how the nectar in the flowers

[00:02:49] And how the flowers on the vine

[00:02:51] They'd turn his blood

[00:02:53] From fever into honey-juice and wine

[00:03:10] And he knew that it was true

[00:03:12] In the crumbs that nature threw

[00:03:15] And that ever-after always ends the tale

[00:03:21] And that somewhere in disguise there

[00:03:24] Was a girl with lantern eyes

[00:03:27] Who could fill

[00:03:28] The darkest shadows with detail

[00:03:33] So he'd build another tower

[00:03:36] Just to tear another down

[00:03:38] And he'd lay a trail of candles

[00:03:41] From his castle into town

[00:03:44] But if you go there please be careful

[00:03:47] And if you leave there please be quick

[00:03:50] Cause he'll rob your eyes of color

[00:03:53] And your bones to make more bricks
