The Moon on Clancy's Wings - The O'Neill Brothers (奥尼尔兄弟)[00:00:00]
Last night I tried to sing an Irish love song[00:00:03]
But it wasn't really coming from the heart[00:00:09]
'Til the memory took me back again[00:00:15]
To a small bar in New Orleans[00:00:18]
Where an old man played the violin[00:00:21]
I sang and played guitar[00:00:25]
I was just a country boy[00:00:29]
The old man's name was Clancy[00:00:31]
Clancy light a fire in me[00:00:36]
That make me sing and dance[00:00:39]
I was young he had hairs of silver[00:00:46]
And we charmed the hard earned leather[00:00:51]
Of their shoes[00:00:54]
And the toil led men from here to Oklahoma[00:00:58]
Would sit and watch longing[00:01:04]
As we sang the songs of Erin[00:01:07]
Of warrior priest and minstrel kings[00:01:12]
Hearts and harps and heroes[00:01:15]
Clancy's dancing fingers[00:01:18]
Would wrapped them in a spell[00:01:21]
When Clancy played the violin[00:01:27]
He set our hearts to music[00:01:30]
Words fell over like tears[00:01:34]
Heaven whispered in the strings[00:01:36]
At night when the bars are closing[00:01:41]
And the lads begin to sing[00:01:43]
Not the Milky Way they see[00:01:48]
It's the moon on Clancy's wings[00:01:52]
That warm September morning[00:01:58]
Clancy took me by the hand[00:02:01]
He bowed his head and he whispered[00:02:05]
I'm going home[00:02:07]
The old bow arm is cramping up[00:02:11]
The fingers slowing down[00:02:14]
I can't take another winter on the road[00:02:16]
Three years on a letter came[00:02:23]
Mary's post-marked Donegal[00:02:26]
It had followed me around the world[00:02:28]
Let me in St Paul[00:02:32]
A closely written careful hand said[00:02:36]
Clancy played his final tune[00:02:39]
He must have loved him dearly[00:02:42]
To have taken him so soon[00:02:45]
When Clancy played the violin[00:02:52]
He set our hearts to music[00:02:55]
Words fell over like tears[00:02:58]
Heaven whispered in the strings[00:03:01]
At night when the bars are closing[00:03:05]
And the lads begin to sing[00:03:08]
Not the Milky Way they see[00:03:12]
It's the moon on Clancy's wings[00:03:16]
At night when the bar is closing[00:03:23]
And this lad begins to sing[00:03:25]
Not the Milky Way I see[00:03:30]
It's the moon on Clancy's wings[00:03:34]
It's the moon on Clancy's wings[00:03:40]
