《Matthew(alternate version)》歌词

[00:00:00] Matthew (马修) - John Denver (约翰·丹佛)

[00:00:07] Had an uncle named Matthew

[00:00:12] Was his fathers only boy

[00:00:16] Born just south of Colby Kansas

[00:00:20] Was his mothers pride and joy

[00:00:23] Yes and joy was just the thing that he was raised on

[00:00:27] Love was just the way to live and die

[00:00:32] Gold was just a windy Kansas wheatfield

[00:00:36] Blue just a Kansas summer sky

[00:00:41] All the stories that he told me

[00:00:45] Back when I was just a lad

[00:00:50] All the memories that he gave me

[00:00:54] All the good times that he had

[00:00:58] Growing up a Kansas farmboy

[00:01:03] Life was mostly having fun

[00:01:07] Riding on his Daddys shoulders

[00:01:12] Behind a mule beneath the sun

[00:01:14] Yes and joy was just the thing that he was raised on

[00:01:19] Love was just the way to live and die

[00:01:23] Gold was just a windy Kansas wheatfield

[00:01:27] Blue is just a Kansas summer sky

[00:01:32] Well I guess there were some hard times

[00:01:36] And I'm told some years were lean

[00:01:41] They had a storm in forty-seven

[00:01:45] A twister came and stripped them clean

[00:01:49] He lost the farm and lost his family

[00:01:54] He lost the wheat and lost his home

[00:01:58] But he found the family Bible

[00:02:02] Faith as solid as a stone

[00:02:05] Yes and joy was just the thing that he was raised on

[00:02:10] Love was just the way to live and die

[00:02:14] Gold was just a windy Kansas wheatfield

[00:02:18] Blue just a Kansas summer sky

[00:02:23] So he came to live at our house

[00:02:27] And he came to work the land

[00:02:32] He came to ease my Daddys burden

[00:02:36] And he came to be my friend

[00:02:40] So I wrote this down for Matthew

[00:02:45] And it's for him the song is sung

[00:02:49] Riding on his Daddy's shoulders

[00:02:53] Behind a Mule beneath the sun

[00:02:56] Yes and joy was just the thing that he was raised on

[00:03:00] Love was just the way to live and die

[00:03:05] Gold was just a windy Kansas wheatfield

[00:03:09] Bluewas just a Kansas summer sky

[00:03:12] Yes and joy was just the thing that he was raised on

[00:03:16] Love was just the way to live and die

[00:03:20] Gold was just a windy Kansas wheatfield

[00:03:25] Blue just a Kansas summer sky
