You Hung The Moon 歌詞

You Hung The Moon - Elvis Costello (埃爾維斯 科斯特洛)

Written by:Elvis Costello

The homecoming fanfare is echoing still

 

Now tapping on tables and sensing a chill

 

Poor families expecting loved one's return

 

Only summon some charlatan spectre

 

Oh when will they learn

 

You hung the moon

 

From a gallows in the sky

 

Choked out the light

 

In his blue lunar eye

 

The shore is a parchment

 

The sea has no tide

 

Since he was taken from my side

 

The lines of the fallen are viewed through a glass

 

You cannot touch them at all

 

Or hear their footfall just as they go past

 

The drunken ground is where they are bound

 

You hung the moon

 

From a gallows in the sky

 

Choked out the light

 

In his blue lunar eye

 

The shore is a parchment

 

The sea has no tide

 

Since he was taken from my side

 

So slap out his terrors

And sneer at his tears

 

We deal with deserters like this

 

From the breech to the barrel the bead we will level

 

Break earth with a shovel quick march on the double

 

Lower him shallow like tallow down in the abyss

 

You hung the moon

 

From a gallows in the sky

 

Choked out the light

 

In his blue lunar eye

 

The shore is a parchment

 

The sea has no tide

 

Since he was taken from my side

 

Since he was taken from my side

 

 

The homecoming fanfare is echoing still
