The Ballad of Casey Deiss - Shawn Phillips

[00:00.000] 作曲 : Phillips
[00:23.837]'Twas a man of youthful features
[00:29.375]'Twas a boy of sorrowful eyes
[00:35.043]Watching out but looking inward
[00:40.607]Tall and stately and full of life
[00:57.300]In his time he spoke but rarely
[01:02.837]In his mind he cried for light
[01:08.088]Painting perceptions, trying to capture
[01:13.443]That which he saw in his questioning strife
[01:30.162]Once in Lisbon, twice in London
[01:35.517]Travelling around for all of his time
[01:41.055]Looking for and finding a goddess
[01:46.096]He took Diana to be his bride
[02:02.658]Of the children they'd begotten
[02:08.091]Two had died without knowing life
[02:13.629]And the third I know not whereof
[02:18.593]But if she lives, she will yet be kind
[02:34.632]Casey had a mark of simple value
[02:40.614]He had a star between his eyes
[02:46.100]In his hands he held an axe blade
[02:51.272]The Greek symbol of thunder and fire
[03:07.154]On a night when the heavens were crying
[03:13.162]He went out and took his blade
[03:18.491]Chopping wood to warm his hearthside
[03:23.716]The lightning came and my brother died
[03:51.040]Bring him no wine from faraway vineyards
[03:56.317]Tell him no tales of the canyon's might
[04:01.724]But wish him peace and eternal wisdom
[04:07.053]For he has died and he died by light
[04:16.091]...
