[00:00.00] | 作词 : Anderson |
[00:02.000] | In and out of the front door, ran twelve back-door angels. |
[00:11.000] | Their hair was a golden-brown --- |
[00:17.000] | They didn't see me wink my eye. |
[00:21.000] | 'Tis said they put we men to sleep with just a whisper, |
[00:29.000] | And touch the heads of dying dogs --- and make them linger. |
[00:40.000] | They carry their candles high --- and they light the dark hours. |
[00:50.000] | And sweep all the country clean with pressed and scented wild-flowers. |
[02:16.000] | They grow all their roses red, and paint our skies blue --- |
[02:25.000] | Drop one penny in every second bowl --- |
[02:31.000] | Make half the beggars lose, |
[02:35.000] | Why do the faithful have such a will to believe in something? |
[02:44.000] | And call it the name they choose, |
[02:49.000] | Having chosen nothing. |
[04:46.000] | Think I'll sit down and invent some fool --- |
[04:51.000] | Some Grand Court Jester. |
[04:55.000] | And next time the die is cast, he'll throw a six or two. |
[05:01.000] | In and out of the back-door, ran one front-door angel, |
[05:14.000] | Her hair was a golden-brown --- |
[05:20.000] | She smiled and I think she winked her eye. |
