《Don’t Beat Me Down》歌词

[00:00:00] Don't Beat Me Down (不要将我打倒) - Gordon Lightfoot

[00:00:14] Oh when he was a man my father would stand

[00:00:17] I never saw him run

[00:00:19] There wasn't anyone could make the man bend

[00:00:21] The strength of his will was the tool of his trade

[00:00:25] And he did his work well

[00:00:27] Till the powers that be took a liking to him

[00:00:30] And they traded his body for a cold empty shell

[00:00:35] Don't beat me down

[00:00:42] Don't beat me down

[00:00:49] I've got something to say

[00:00:51] Don't you stand in my way

[00:00:53] And don't beat me down

[00:01:00] Oh when I was a youth I found the truth

[00:01:03] In the eyes of a friend

[00:01:05] There wasn't anyone could make the light dim

[00:01:08] And we talked and we rambled and we gambled to win

[00:01:11] And the learning was good

[00:01:13] Till the powers that be to a liking to him

[00:01:16] They traded their fortunes for the sight of his blood

[00:01:21] When I was a child and my mother smiled

[00:01:24] At the cradle she bought

[00:01:26] For the little tot she held to her breast

[00:01:28] And the song that she sang was an anthem to love

[00:01:32] It was all that I heard

[00:01:34] Till the powers that be took a liking to me

[00:01:37] And they told me that love was a four-letter word

[00:01:42] Don't beat me down

[00:01:49] Don't beat me down

[00:01:57] I've got one life to live

[00:01:58] And that's all I can give

[00:02:00] So don't beat me down

[00:02:08] And now I've got a place I got a worried face

[00:02:11] And a question in mind

[00:02:12] Please let me find a reason somehow

[00:02:15] Why some reap the harvest while other men die

[00:02:19] And the joker runs wild

[00:02:20] And if powers that be take a liking to us

[00:02:24] Then we all must return to the ways of a child

[00:02:27] We all must return to the ways of a child

[00:02:32] So don't beat me down

[00:02:40] Don't beat me down

[00:02:47] I've got something to say

[00:02:49] Don't you stand in my way

[00:02:52] And don't beat me down

[00:02:55] I've got one life to life

[00:02:57] And that's all I can give

[00:02:59] So don't beat me down

[00:03:03] Don't beat me down

[00:03:06] Don't beat me down
