Lyrics

[00:00.00] 作曲 : Joan Baez
[00:01.00] 作词 : Joan Baez
[00:05.88] I'll put flowers at your feet and I will sing to you so sweet
[00:13.80]
[00:14.55] And hope my words will carry home to your heart
[00:20.60]
[00:24.04] You left us marching on the road and said how heavy was the load
[00:32.77]
[00:33.40] The years were young, the struggle barely had its start
[00:39.64]
[00:42.63] Do you hear the voices in the night, Bobby?
[00:46.75]
[00:47.58] They're crying for you
[00:50.45]
[00:51.57] See the children in the morning light, Bobby
[00:56.01]
[00:56.69] They're dying
[00:58.06]
[01:00.56] No one could say it like you said it, we'd only try and just forget it
[01:09.61]
[01:10.54] You stood alone upon the mountain till it was sinking
[01:16.78]
[01:19.66] And in a frenzy we tried to reach you
[01:24.14] With looks and letters we would beseech you
[01:28.70] Never knowing what, where or how you were thinking
[01:35.50]
[01:37.81] Do you hear the voices in the night, Bobby?
[01:42.49] They're crying for you
[01:45.24]
[01:46.49] See the children in the morning light, Bobby
[01:51.10]
[01:51.67] They're dying
[01:54.41]
[01:56.47] Perhaps the pictures in the Times could no longer be put in rhymes
[02:04.58]
[02:05.27] When all the eyes of starving children are wide open
[02:11.19]
[02:14.50] You cast aside the cursed crown and put your magic into a sound
[02:22.43]
[02:23.30] That made me think your heart was aching or even broken
[02:29.60]
[02:32.91] But if God hears my complaint He will forgive you
[02:38.84]
[02:41.53] And so will I, with all respect, I'll just relive you
[02:47.83]
[02:50.14] And likewise, you must understand these things we give you
[02:57.41]
[02:59.34] Like these flowers at your door and scribbled notes about the war
[03:09.21]
[03:09.77] We're only saying the time is short and there is work to do
[03:16.75]
[03:18.81] And we're still marching in the streets with little victories and big defeats
[03:26.55] But there is joy and there is hope and there's a place for you
[03:35.22]
[03:36.54] And you have heard the voices in the night, Bobby
[03:41.96] They're crying for you
[03:44.59]
[03:45.96] See the children in the morning light, Bobby
[03:50.51]
[03:51.14] They're dying
