Yon Two Crows - Mark Knopfler (马克·诺普弗勒)[00:00:00]
Pennies from heaven[00:00:47]
Don't make me laugh[00:00:48]
Here all you'll get[00:00:50]
Is the pattering rain[00:00:52]
Or yon two crows up over the hill[00:00:54]
Looking for winterkill[00:00:57]
Always at your boots[00:01:01]
The mud behind the byre[00:01:03]
With its clammy hold[00:01:06]
Would mock you up a grave[00:01:09]
Here in the mire of a wrecked sheepfold[00:01:10]
And all you'll bring to this[00:01:17]
Is muscle and grit[00:01:18]
Persistence that's just about it[00:01:21]
What made you think[00:01:24]
There'd be a living in sheep [00:01:25]
Eat work eat work and sleep[00:01:28]
Duck under the eaves[00:01:35]
Of the bothy[00:01:36]
To sit here caged by rain[00:01:38]
Somewhere to go conjure[00:01:42]
A next move[00:01:43]
When I have to think again[00:01:44]
The dog lifts his gaze to plead[00:01:50]
Believes the wizard has a magic stick[00:01:53]
Leans his weight into my tweed[00:01:57]
I give an unholy hand to lick[00:01:59]
I take a swig of sheep dip[00:02:04]
From my flask[00:02:06]
And once again I ask[00:02:09]
What made you think[00:02:12]
There'd be a living in sheep [00:02:13]
Eat work eat work and sleep[00:02:15]
They were at this game[00:02:43]
Two hundred years ago[00:02:44]
Had thirty ways[00:02:46]
Of dying young poor souls[00:02:47]
Laid to rest in their soggy rows[00:02:50]
Rain on their holy books[00:02:53]
Blood and whisky[00:02:58]
On the tongue[00:02:59]
And no-one watching over anyone[00:03:01]
No-one left but your stubborn one[00:03:05]
And the crows and rooks[00:03:08]
Ah the dying young[00:03:13]
Well I'm not done[00:03:18]
You watch me and I'll watch thee[00:03:20]
I can still work for two men[00:03:23]
And drink for three[00:03:25]
And I raise my flask[00:03:27]
To the clearing skies[00:03:29]
To you sweepers[00:03:31]
You carrion spies[00:03:32]
To scavenge and survive[00:03:36]
If you can do it so can I[00:03:39]
