Yankee Bayonet (I Will Be Home Then) - The Decemberists

[00:00.000] 作曲 : Meloy
[00:09.155]Heart-carved tree trunk Yankee bayonet
[00:12.910]A sweetheart left behind
[00:17.463]Far from the hills of the sea-swelled Carolinas
[00:21.615]That's where my true love lies
[00:23.873]
[00:34.089]Look for me when the sun-bright swallow
[00:37.558]Sings upon the birch bough high
[00:42.158]But you are in the ground with the voles and the weevils
[00:45.972]All a'chew on your bones so dry
[00:48.628]
[01:07.647]But when the sun breaks
[01:11.654]To no more bulletin battle-cry
[01:15.646]Then will you make a grave
[01:19.807]For I will be home then
[01:23.958]I will be home then
[01:28.174]I will be home then
[01:32.260]I will be home then
[01:36.971]Then
[01:46.257]When I was a girl how the hills of Oconee
[01:49.910]Made a seam to hem me in
[01:54.426]There at the fair when our eyes caught careless
[01:58.096]Got my heart right pierced by a pin
[02:00.902]
[02:11.274]But oh did you see all the dead of Manassas
[02:14.832]All the bellies and the bones and the bile
[02:19.437]Though I lingered here with the blankets barren
[02:23.150]And my own belly big with a child
[02:25.990]
[02:45.109]But when the sun breaks
[02:49.028]To no more bulletin battle-cry
[02:53.119]Then will you make a grave
[02:57.226]For I will be home then
[03:01.488]I will be home then
[03:05.740]I will be home then
[03:09.761]I will be home then
[03:16.566]Stems and bones and stone walls too
[03:21.776]Could keep me from you
[03:24.726]Scaly skin is all too few
[03:29.881]To keep me from you
[03:40.349]But oh my love though our bodies may be parted
[03:44.003]Though our skin may not touch skin
[03:48.714]Look for me with the sun-bright sparrow
[03:52.422]I will come on the breath of the wind
