Blues (Song lyrics)

新的尝试,和众诗友唱和,一人一段,试着跟上节奏。纯娱乐性质。

Blues

My name is Carlton Lite, babe,
but I can bring the darkness down -
My name is Carlton Lite, babe,
but I can bring the darkness down -
but I want to see you smiling,
so just hide away that frown

“So just hide away that frown”,
it’s easier said than done.
“So just hide away that frown”,
it’s easier said than done.
But I’ll try it anyway
Smiling like a honey bun


I'm told that men have died, girl
just fighting for your hive -
So many men have died, girl
just fighting for your hive -
your honey may be sweet, babe
but I don't like to taste your jive.

But I don’t like to taste your jive
No matter what promise you’ve made
But I don’t like to taste your jive
No matter what promise you’ve made
There’s no never nor forever
Beautiful flowers will fade


All your flowers will fade, babe
and time will brown your leaves -
All your flowers will fade, babe
and time will brown your leaves -
the months turn into years, girl
and all the years are thieves.

If all the years are thieves, my dear
how could you wear your mask so long
If all the years are thieves, my dear
how could you wear your mask so long
Watch that loon nests by the river,
ducks and drakes hatching all along


Ducks and drakes down by the river
Gettin' down an' layin' nests
Ducks and drakes down by the river
Gettin' down an' layin' nests
But you an' me, babe, we bin fightin'
You an' me, we're in a mess.

You an’me, we’re in a mess,
Unable to find the end of yarn
You an’me, we’re in a mess,
Unable to find the end of yarn
“It’s none of our faults”, you say
Gloves feel different with a darn

欢迎 yinxiaoyuan, William 一起唱和。
这对我来说也是第一次,不大讲究,比较随意。
跟着大家一起来做容易些,就像大雁飞行一样,一起飞较轻松,落单儿的就吃力些。

我曾寫過一首blues風格的詩,給大家看看: Smile
The Daybreak Blues

De smell of sand fills
De streets after rain.
De smell of sand fills
De streets after rain.
Again I hear in de distance
De sound of a mornin' train.

De first light of de day
Must be hummin' to ma bed.
De first light of de day
Must be hummin' to ma bed.
An' I walk out of de night
With no dreams in ma head.

Every daybreak is
An evenin' that is fake.
Every daybreak, gosh!
'Sa time that I don't crave.
An' ma breast's like a beach
Under the recedin' wave.

Under the recedin' wave
emerges an bulgin’ eye
under the recedin’ wave
emerges an bulgin’ eye
The moon shines blue
and tears gone dry

Gloves would feel different if they're patched up
Cold winds turnin' my fingers blue
Said these gloves need patchin' up, honey
Those cold winds turn my fingers blue
If you can be my puppet, girl
Can I warm them up on you?

Can I warm your hands up?
Can you open your heart?
Can I warm your hands up?
Can you open your heart?
Day after day petals drift down
Year after year rivers flow past


Year after year that ol' river flows,
year after year the delta blues moan -
Year after year that ol' river flows,
year after year the delta blues moan -
about love gone bad
or just getting back home.

Just getting back home, dear -
wind whispers sweet nothings in my ear
just getting back home, dear -
wind whispers sweet nothings in my ear
to the south wild geese flying
down to the root withered leaves falling

Well the black root is withering you
and your leaves fall all around,
that old black root is withering you,
your leaves fall all around.
Before next spring comes knocking,
you'll be deep down in the ground.

You’ll be deep down in the ground
Has the train reached the terminal?
You’ll be deep down in the ground
Have we reached the terminal?
Let me get out of the underground
Pitch-dark in the English Channel


It's pitch-dark in the English Channel
Feels like my boat is gonna sink
It's pitch-dark in the English Channel
Feels like my boat is gonna sink
I was wishing you could hold me, Mama,
But there ain't no time to think.

But there ain’t no time to think
I simply let you go, let you go
But there ain’t no time to think
I simply let you go, let you go
For my tears won’t do nothing
So if it snows, let it snow
