《First Song》歌词

[00:00:00] First Song (第一首歌) - Andrew Bird (Andrew Wegman Bird)

[00:00:47] Then it was dusk in Illinois a small boy

[00:00:52] After an afternoon of carting dung hung

[00:00:59] On a rail fence a sapped thing

[00:01:06] So weary to crying

[00:01:11] Dark was growing tall

[00:01:15] He began to hear the pond frogs all calling on his ear

[00:01:23] They were calling on his ear

[00:01:26] They were calling on his ear with what seemed their joy

[00:01:40] Soon the sound was pleasant for a boy

[00:01:44] Listening in the smoky dusk and nightfall of Illinois

[00:01:52] And from the fields two small boys came

[00:01:59] Bearing cornstalk violins

[00:02:05] So they rubbed the cornstalk bows with resins

[00:02:07] And the three just sat there scraping of the joy

[00:02:14] Of their joy

[00:02:49] It was now fine music the frogs and the boys did

[00:02:53] In the towering Illinois twilight

[00:02:55] Make and into dark in spite a shoulders ache

[00:03:01] A boys hunched body loved out of a stalk

[00:03:04] The first song of his happiness

[00:03:08] And the song woke his heart

[00:03:10] Into the darkness and sadness of joy

[00:03:17] Dark was growing tall

[00:03:21] He began to hear the pond frogs all calling on his ear

[00:03:29] They were calling on his ear

[00:03:35] With what seemed their joy
