The Tea Leaf Prophecy (Lay Down Your Arms) - Herbie Hancock (赫比·汉考克)/Joni Mitchell (琼妮·米切尔)[00:00:00]

Written by：Larry Klein/Joni Mitchell[00:00:01]

Newsreels rattle the nazi dread[00:00:36]

The able bodied have shipped away[00:00:42]

Molly McGee gets her tea-leaves read[00:00:47]

You'll be married in a month they say[00:00:51]

These leaves are crazy[00:00:56]

Just look at this town there's no men left[00:01:00]

Just frail old boys and babies[00:01:05]

Talking to teacher in the treble clef[00:01:09]

She plants her garden in the spring[00:01:15]

She does the winter shovelling[00:01:25]

Tokyo roses talking on the radio[00:01:33]

She says I'm leavin' here[00:01:43]

But she don't go[00:01:48]

Out of the blue just passin' thru[00:01:51]

A young flight sergeant[00:01:54]

On two weeks leave[00:01:57]

Says Molly McGee no one else will do[00:01:58]

And seals the tea-leaf prophecy[00:02:04]

Oh these nights are strong and soft[00:02:09]

Private passions and secret storms[00:02:15]

Nothin' about him ticks her off[00:02:19]

And he looks so cute in his uniform[00:02:22]

She plants her garden in the spring[00:02:28]

He does the winter shovelling[00:02:37]

But summer's just a sneeze[00:02:47]

In a long long bad winter cold[00:02:49]

Soon she says I'm leavin' here[00:02:56]

But she don't go[00:03:00]

Sleep little darlin'[00:04:18]

This is your happy home[00:04:22]

Hiroshima cannot be pardoned[00:04:27]

Don't have kids when you get grown[00:04:31]

This world is shattered[00:04:36]

The wise are mourning[00:04:40]

The fools are joking[00:04:42]

Oh what does it matter[00:04:45]

The wash needs ironing[00:04:49]

And the fire needs stoking[00:04:51]

She plants her garden in the spring[00:04:56]

He does the winter shovelling[00:05:03]

The three of 'em laughing 'round the radio[00:05:13]

She says I'm leavin' here but she don't go[00:05:22]

She plants her garden in the spring[00:05:31]

They do the winter shovelling[00:05:40]

They sit up late and watch the[00:05:49]

Johnny Carson show[00:05:51]

She says I'm leavin' here but she don't go[00:05:59]
