The Angel of Lyon - Tom Russell (汤姆罗素)[00:00:00]

He had a vision of Anne Marie[00:00:33]

With a rosary in her hand[00:00:37]

So it's exit the rainmaker[00:00:41]

The old gray flannel man[00:00:45]

With a closet full of business suits[00:00:49]

He left a letter near the phone[00:00:53]

It said I'm on my way to paradise[00:00:57]

To see the angel of lyon[00:01:01]

And then he caught the train to Brussels[00:01:07]

He ordered cognac and croissants[00:01:11]

He made a mental list[00:01:16]

Of things he owned but didn't want[00:01:19]

All the buildings all the real estate[00:01:23]

The antique glass and stone[00:01:27]

He'd trade a vow of poverty[00:01:32]

To see the angel of Lyon[00:01:35]

And he sang ave maria[00:01:42]

Or at least the parts he knew[00:01:46]

And watched the shadow of the train[00:01:50]

On the towns that they rolled through[00:01:53]

And he closed his eyes and he saw two rivers[00:01:58]

The Rhone and the Saone[00:02:01]

The male and female spirit of[00:02:06]

The city of Lyon[00:02:09]

Then he waited on the bridge[00:02:15]

Where they met the year before[00:02:19]

But the days turned into weeks[00:02:23]

And then the seasons numbered four[00:02:27]

And his clothes grew worn and ragged[00:02:31]

As through that town he roamed[00:02:35]

Searching every open window[00:02:39]

For the angel of Lyon[00:02:43]

And he sang Ava maria[00:02:50]

Or at least the parts he knew[00:02:53]

And watched his shadow on the walls[00:02:58]

Of the streets that he walked through[00:03:01]

And he crossed those holy rivers[00:03:06]

The Rhone and the Saone[00:03:09]

They'd not give up the secret of[00:03:14]

The angel of Lyon[00:03:17]

There's a thousand candles burning[00:03:54]

In the basilica tonight[00:03:58]

Where sister eve maria[00:04:02]

Is the keeper of the light[00:04:06]

And down a dream of alleyways[00:04:10]

Walks a saint of rag and bone[00:04:13]

The madman torn asunder[00:04:18]

By the angel of lyon[00:04:22]

And he sang ava maria[00:04:28]

Or at least the parts he knew[00:04:32]

And watched his shadow on the wall[00:04:36]

Of the streets that he crawled through[00:04:40]

And he crossed those holy rivers[00:04:44]

The Rhone and the Saone[00:04:48]

But they'd not give up the secret of[00:04:52]

The angel of Lyon[00:04:56]
