Dawn Crept Away (2004 Remaster)

歌詞

Him Who Ed, him? Yeah, he's only got us up here to make a fool of us you know. It's either that, you know, or it's sort of, like he thinks, that'll be groovy, you know. Look at that bloke over there. Pig, bloody pig, see him? There you are, that's it, that's the one, that's who he is, that's what it's all about. And where'll we be in the morning mate? Eh? The Morning, the morning mate. And beneath the skies as tall as houses began to peel, the land that had become barren blossomed again, and the seas rolled back, and people came from every hill once more into the world, and as a heron flew across the bay, the dawn discreetly crept away. The dawn crept away like an early morning kiss And the stars on that day, troubled, toiled, sunset red The Sun shone high in the clustered rosy spangled sky The world turned around, people lived, people died The dawn crept away, The dawn crept away She was black and green in the early morning light And the sweet, sweet field in the herald, holy night The dawn crept away, The dawn crept away The dawn crept away, The dawn crept away I see two people walking out tonight Like lovers, hand in hand, they were far from sight What is a woman, a mother, the other a boy What is a woman, a mother, the other her little boy Mama, what's that red ball hanging in the sky Mama, I don't like it, am I gonna die? No more people crying, summer, we gone all shy Will we see tomorrow morning if tonight we die Die, die, die Mama, mama, you know I ask the questions And the questions have been questioned Mama looking worried, uneasy Edgar lost for words, lost for words, lost for words Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Mama, mama, why do you look at me that way? I have some words that I wish to say Mama, do you hear them? Do you hear them coming to the line? Do you feel them, do you feel them, do you feel them? Walking across your mind Mama, what's that red ball? What's that, what's that red ball? SON! This is your father's world This is your father's world This is your Daddy's world This is your Daddy's world Daddy Built it, Daddy built it Daddy Built it, Daddy fired it Daddy tried to pull it back Another string broke Who lives? Who dies? Who weeps? Who cries? You or I? Which is mine? Which is mine? Which is mine? Heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy water, heavy water, heavy water, heavy water, heavy water, heavy water Mama get your daughters Heavy rain Get your sunspec, get your sunspec, again At that moment, the beach photographer, sensing a chance to work in the off season, comes along the beach, seeing the woman and the child, and the water rolling, endlessly, endlessly, on, on, on GOD! Saying Mama, would you like a picture? Would you like a photograph? Would you like a picture? Would you like a photograph? Would you like a picture? Photograph, picture, Photograph, picture, Photograph, picture, NO! I got a little boy! WHAT'S THAT? A boy? My own, my own boy Oh then come on lady, come on lady, five dollar for a five dollar picture, get a one that's only five dollar, three to go now, picture photograph But I've got a little boy Now listen. You see that red ball in the sky Red ball, Red ball, Red ball, Red ball, Red ball What do you think that could be? Be The little boy starts crying For he knows only too well He has the intuition of an innocent child, child, child At that point the photographer says 'Mama, take a picture, take a photograph, take a picture Before your baby burns, away, away, away, away' She walks like a dream in the early morning light Of the sweet, sleep, deep, in the hell, holy night 1000's of years pass on, and again a couple stand on the beach The man looks at his girl, and the sun, and the sun The girl looks into the eyes of the man and she says 'Darling, soon we will have a baby boy all of our own' And with the love in his eyes, like the love one knows of coming home he speaks, thus: 'Woman of mine, you see the sea rolling, endlessly See and look and you shall see but many years have passed us by Have we learned but one thing in our lives? Away, away, away Cold the wind blows (Edgar growls to the end) I'd like to say a few words on behalf of the band (repeated over and over).
