《Then Came the Children》歌词

时长： 03:50

Well come gather around me friends of mine[00:00:11]

While I sing to you about a minstrel band[00:00:19]

Of children in their witches hats[00:00:26]

Painting pictures with the pipes of pan[00:00:31]

How a young boy and his sister played some tunes[00:00:38]

Upon a whistle made of tin[00:00:43]

And led me through the flower gardens[00:00:50]

Laughing at the postman's stubby chin[00:00:51]

And in my dizzy stupor[00:00:57]

I was trying to forfeit all I'd known[00:01:04]

And listen to that music that could swirl me in a magic all it's own[00:01:13]

But somewhere in the distance[00:01:15]

You and I we fought our monsters to a draw[00:01:17]

It was in those days of books and wine[00:01:18]

With Ferlin Getty grasping for a straw[00:01:19]

And out along the highways[00:01:47]

We journeyed far to find that mystic smile[00:01:51]

Chasing down identities[00:01:59]

My God we must have run a million miles[00:02:03]

So we can teach the children[00:02:11]

Nothing nothing but survival in the desert bare[00:02:13]

They can teach us how to laugh[00:02:22]

How to love and tie bright ribbons in our hair[00:02:25]

So sing for us you children[00:02:32]

Tinkle bells and rhyme the purple greens and blues[00:02:37]

Think of us as fighting fools[00:02:45]

Who wintered through our seasons loving you[00:02:49]

Think of us as fighting fools[00:02:55]

Who wintered through our seasons loving you[00:03:02]

Cause you can teach us how to laugh[00:03:09]

How to love and tie bright ribbons in our hair[00:03:12]
