Widow's Grove - Tom Waits (汤姆·威兹)[00:00:00]
Written by:Tom Waits/Kathleen Brennan[00:00:06]
I met you in the saddle[00:00:13]
Rode you in the dust[00:00:17]
Held your hand to the heavens[00:00:20]
Pulled your heart to the earth[00:00:22]
There was something that blinded me[00:00:26]
More than the mist[00:00:30]
And the breath of the cottonwood[00:00:32]
Buds lighter yet[00:00:35]
And you rode the maypole[00:00:41]
Of dance hall legs[00:00:44]
And galloped to another's embrace[00:00:47]
And I bit the flowers[00:00:52]
From your wrist corsage[00:00:55]
And you waltzed too slowly[00:00:58]
Too slowly you waltzed[00:01:01]
With that girl from Widow's Grove[00:01:03]
Oh I'd follow you[00:01:08]
To the river[00:01:12]
That washes out to the sea[00:01:15]
Through the wind[00:01:20]
Through the rain of[00:01:22]
A cold dark night[00:01:23]
That's where I'll be[00:01:26]
Near the breath of a swallow[00:01:37]
Petals dropped as you fell[00:01:40]
And you grabbed[00:01:43]
Then shyly held me[00:01:44]
Against the stone cold well[00:01:46]
In your hand was a glass[00:01:49]
You held the ice[00:01:53]
Against the night[00:01:54]
And it dripped and it sparkled[00:01:56]
And I laughed to wish[00:01:58]
Before it all[00:02:04]
Slipped down the dark tunneled well[00:02:06]
I heard it melt quietly and[00:02:10]
I looked at you[00:02:14]
Bent to the earth[00:02:16]
With just one pleading wish[00:02:18]
Your skirts brushed to the furious[00:02:21]
Pounding[00:02:25]
Oh I'd follow you[00:02:29]
To the river[00:02:33]
That washes out to the sea[00:02:36]
Through the wind[00:02:41]
Through the rain of[00:02:43]
A cold dark night[00:02:44]
That's where I'll be[00:02:47]
I hid in the elm[00:03:43]
And raised the bough[00:03:45]
That hung even with your neck[00:03:47]
And I chased you and[00:03:50]
Drowned you[00:03:51]
There deep in the well[00:03:52]
And when your mouth[00:03:56]
Was full and wet[00:03:58]
I swallowed all your reckless fate[00:03:59]
And with your last breath[00:04:02]
You moaned too drunk to wake[00:04:05]
Oh I'd follow you[00:04:09]
To the river[00:04:12]
That washes out to the sea[00:04:15]
Through the wind[00:04:20]
Through the rain[00:04:22]
A cold dark night[00:04:24]
That's where I'll be[00:04:26]
Through the wind[00:04:32]
Through the rain of[00:04:34]
A cold dark night[00:04:35]
That's where I'll be[00:04:38]
