《Born Of Longing》歌词

[00:00:00] Born Of Longing - Simon Joyner

[00:00:19] A baby begins chewing on letters on wood blocks

[00:00:24] To get to the root of the problem at hand

[00:00:34] All your language is splinters it can't stick together

[00:00:40] When you open your mouth you start loosing your head

[00:00:49] And you still can't explain why the sky is blue

[00:01:01] There is nothing so sweet as the milk of your mother

[00:01:07] That's how you bounce back when the bough breaks

[00:01:17] Now you've got these two eyes that go from wandering to wise

[00:01:22] Depending on the wind and how it's feeling today

[00:01:32] And you've been thinking about swimming upstreams

[00:01:43] Are you embarressed by legends of cowboys and maidens

[00:01:49] Do you remember how David caught a giant on his tongue

[00:01:59] The light through the window holds the dust of past heroes

[00:02:04] And they're never destroyed only scattered around

[00:02:14] By the drunk wind spilling his guts

[00:03:04] So a child lights a fire just to look in the mirror

[00:03:10] For soon he'll be wearing his Papa's grey beard

[00:03:19] All his days in the country full of flame and born of longing

[00:03:24] Into the haze of the cityscape they all but disappear

[00:03:34] Like horses running out of prairie

[00:03:46] If the stars can't quit dreaming

[00:03:48] And if the sun is still sleeping

[00:03:51] Then beholden they'll swallow the sad empty space

[00:04:01] While the moon casts her shadows and spells on new lovers

[00:04:06] Who must blush as they brush the hair from their faces

[00:04:15] And the crickets know nobody is immune

[00:04:26] You assume that I'm wounded because

[00:04:29] I'm hunchbacked and hooded

[00:04:31] But I've got a dream just like any honest man

[00:04:40] I might keep it hidden so sweet is my burden

[00:04:46] But if someone tried to steal it

[00:04:48] They'd have to cut off my hands

[00:04:55] For it's as heavy and as precious as gold
