The Frozen Man 歌詞
The Frozen Man - James Taylor (詹姆斯·泰勒)
Written by:J. Taylor
Last thing I remember is the freezing cold
Water reaching up just to swallow me whole
Ice in the rigging and howling wind
Shock to my body as we tumbled in mercy from god
My brothers and the others are lost at sea
I alone am returned to tell thee
Hidden in ice for a century talk walk for world again
Lord have mercy on frozen man
Next words that spoken to me
Nurse asked me what my name might be
She was all in white at foot of my bed
I said angel of mercy I'm alive or am I dead
My name is William James McPhee I was born in 1843
Raised in Liverpool by the sea but that ain't who I am
Lord have mercy on the frozen man
Took a lot of money to start my heart
Just to peg my leg and buy my eye
The newspapers call me state of the art
And the children when they see me cry
I thought it would be nice just to visit my grave
See what kind of tombstone I might have
I saw the wife my daughter seemed so strange so strangers
Both of them dead and gone from extreme old age
I see when I die make sure I'm gone
Don't leave 'em nothing to work on
You can raise your arm you can wiggle your hand
Not unlike myself
So you can wave goodbye to the frozen man goodbye
I know it means to freeze to death
Lose a little life with every breath
To say goodbye life on earth come around again
Lord have mercy on the frozen man
Lord have mercy on the frozen man
Lord have mercy on the frozen man
