Stone Lions-Grasscut

[00:00.000] 作词 : A. Phillips [00:01.000] 作曲 : A. Phillips [00:21.113] At the dusty road's divide [00:23.751] We took the left fork for a mile, to reach a black cast iron gate. [00:30.486] And as the rusty hinges yawned, [00:33.481] Through the trees we saw the path into the old estate. [00:40.823] Stone lions alone [00:44.322] Can't keep us out [00:46.499] While eagles & crows are sleeping. [00:51.249] We followed the road open mouthed [00:56.627] We watched as the old place breathed its last. [01:21.558] Yellow diggers in a row [01:24.226] Cough back into life and stretch to gulp the dusty sunlight. [01:31.379] Through the rafters through the brick, [01:33.991] Chimneys fall and push the past out through the broken skylight. [01:41.433] Stone lions in rows, rising up [01:46.425] In driveways and private gardens. [01:51.424] Stone lions alone, guarding us from gargoyles and long lost pardons. [02:00.796] Stone eagles and crows flying off to new and forgotten places. [02:10.681] Stone lions alone staring out into our newborn faces. [02:40.739] Stone lions alone [02:50.505] Stone lions alone [03:00.793] Stone gods creep across [03:03.102] The terraces, keystones and backstreet places. [03:10.649] Dust, fossils, and mud [03:13.281] Perishes into our newborn faces.
