Bone Of Song
作詞:Josh Ritter
Just where it now lies I can no longer say I found it on a cold and November day In the roots of a sycamore tree where it had hid so long In a box made out of myrtle lay the bone of song
The bone of song was a jawbone old and bruised And worn out in the service of the muse And along its sides and teeth were written words I ran my palm along them and I heard
Lucky are you who finds me in the wilderness I am the only unquiet ghost that does not seek rest The words on the bone of song were close and small And though their tongues were dead, I found I knew them all
In the hieroglyphs of quills and quatrain lines Osiris, the fall of Troy, Auld Lang Syne Kathleen, Mauvoreen Magnificat 'Your Cheatin' Heart' もっと沢山の歌詞は ※ Mojim.com The chords of a covenant king singing for the Ark
Then I saw on a white space that was left A blessing written older than the rest It said, leave me here I care not for wealth or fame I'll remember your song but I'll forget your name
The words that I sang, blew off like the leaves in the wind And perched like birds in the branches Before landing on the bone again Then the bone was quiet it said no more to me So I wrapped it in the ribbons of a sycamore tree
And as night had come, I turned around and headed home With a lightness in my step and a song in my bones Lucky are you who finds me in the wilderness I am the only unquiet ghost that does not seek rest
