The Goose & the Wren (feat. Frances Quinlan) - Hop Along, Queen Ansleis/Frances Quinlan.mp3

[00:00.000] 作曲 : Christine Frances Quinlan
[00:39.203]While in the form of the ant
[00:43.451]The goose and the wren
[00:47.709]Left the shores of Maryland
[00:52.462]To find better oxygen
[00:56.955]While the outcry of twenty men
[01:00.952]Run from the nearby battalion
[01:05.453]As if we avoid their light
[01:09.951]That we might make it home tonight
[01:15.457]And one old crook
[01:19.447]Carries a very heavy book
[01:23.951]Friends would say 'sir
[01:26.715]Are you sure some good
[01:29.206]Could come of your learning?'
[01:33.449]And he said 'my girl gave it to me
[01:37.455]Just before the war
[01:42.444]I've never read a book like this before
[01:46.960]It's giving me kind of a kind of a binding
[01:52.951]But if it is love then I'm not quite sure if I should keep it
[02:00.950]But I've heard it's a part of the whole so I guess I need it
[02:09.697]But I'll certainly be sure to stay above the ground
[02:19.455]Lately beautiful things got a way of bringing me down
[02:28.957]Here lie one hundred men
[02:33.147]Fighters every one of them
[02:37.909]They went into the light and oh no
[02:42.392]They won't be home tonight
[02:46.645]And I came upon a kid with a kite
[02:50.152]Despite the storms said he's going to fly
[02:55.407]So I said 'brother
[02:58.650]What would your mother say?'
[03:04.897]And he said 'hold your tongue!
[03:09.394]It was a present
[03:14.144]And god damn I am a man
[03:18.148]I ain't afraid of the rain!'
[03:24.146]But what can a bystander do?
[03:33.395]No more than watch the spidery lights take a hold of you
[03:41.896]But you know I warned you boy
[03:44.400]You know I told you boy
[03:46.651]I'll hold you back boy
[03:48.393]But now I don't know but
[03:50.908]Cause in a curious kind of way
[03:55.145]I want to grow along with you
[04:00.647]And morning did come
[04:02.645]I was standing struck dumb
[04:04.894]By the man in the sun
[04:06.913]And the only live one
[04:09.404]Held a string from his thumb
[04:11.155]That stretched up to the sky
[04:13.400]Where the heron flew by
[04:15.654]Singing 'oh me and oh my!'
[04:18.148]And the goose and the wren
[04:20.153]No I have not seen them
[04:22.402]But the water looks nice
[04:24.645]So I dare not think twice
[04:26.898]And I'm sure that they're fine
[04:28.900]Very good friends of mine
[04:31.147]Cause sometimes I can't tell
[04:33.161]When things are unwell
[04:35.396]By the look of the sea
[04:37.642]Starting straight back at me
[04:39.896]And I miss 'em I do
[04:42.402]But I think it is true
[04:44.413]That when the love go
[04:46.403]Its the lovers who show
[04:48.649]Just how lonely they are
[04:50.644]In a song or a scar
[04:53.651]Sincerely your friend
[04:55.406]Write back to me, wren
[04:57.899]I've been thinking too much
[04:59.899]Down here in the sand
[05:02.397]The farmer stands and says 'what happened to the land?
[05:10.655]It used to be fertile. It used to be good, when I was a lad'
[05:21.151]The farmer calls out to his men says
[05:29.402]'It's getting late boys, it's best you come back in'
[05:37.649](Everbody together!!!)
[05:39.146]The farmer stands and says 'what happened to the land?
[05:47.399]It used to be fertile. It used to be good, when I was a lad'
[05:57.403]The farmer calls out to his men says
[06:05.894]'It's getting late boys, it's best you come back in'
[06:14.150](I love you guys!!!)
[06:17.149]The farmer stands and says 'what happened to the land?
[06:24.407]It used to be fertile. It used to be good, when I was a lad'
[06:34.158]The farmer calls out to his men says
[06:43.346]'It's getting late boys, it's best you come back in'
[06:50.091](One more time!!!)
[06:52.089]The farmer stands and says 'what happened to the land?
[06:59.843]It used to be fertile. It used to be good, when I was a lad'
[07:10.083]The farmer calls out to his men says
[07:18.341]'It's getting late boys, it's best you come back in'
