[00:00.000] 作曲 : Leonard Cohen [00:01.60]The rain falls down on last year's man [00:08.74]That's a Jew's harp on the table [00:13.09]that's a crayon in his hand [00:18.48]And the corners of the blueprint [00:21.30]are ruined since they rolled [00:25.61]Far past the stems of thumbtacks [00:29.15]that still throw shadows on the wood [00:34.81]And the skylight is like skin [00:39.40]for a drum I'll never mend [00:43.90]And all the rain falls down amen [00:52.08]on the works of last year's man [01:03.86]I met a lady she was playing [01:08.22]with her soldiers in the dark [01:14.57]Oh one by one she had to tell them [01:20.10]that her name was Joan of Arc [01:27.71]I was in that army yes [01:31.72]I stayed a little while [01:38.48]I want to thank you [01:41.33]Joan of Arc for treating me so well [01:49.65]And though I wear a uniform [01:54.23]I was not born to fight [01:58.84]All these wounded boys [02:02.23]you lie beside goodnight [02:06.80]my friends goodnight [02:15.07]I came upon a wedding [02:18.39]that old families had contrived [02:25.52]Bethlehem the bridegroom [02:30.94]Babylon the bride [02:35.71]Great Babylon was naked [02:39.72]oh she stood there trembling for me [02:47.16]And Bethlehem inflamed us [02:49.99]both like the shy one at some orgy [02:57.68]And when we fell together [03:01.28]all our flesh was like a veil [03:06.71]That I had to draw aside to see [03:12.32]the serpent eat it's tail [03:21.47]Some women wait for Jesus [03:25.62]and some women wait for Cain [03:30.62]So I hang upon my altar [03:36.02]and I hoist my Axe again [03:41.37]And I take the one who finds me [03:46.11]back to where it all began [03:53.03]When Jesus was the honeymoon [03:57.20]and Cain was just the man [04:02.17]And we read from pleasant [04:05.42]Bibles that are bound in blood and skin [04:12.63]That the wilderness is gathering [04:17.45]all it's children back again [04:27.88]The rain falls down on last year's man [04:37.70]An hour has gone by [04:41.39]and he has not moved his hand [04:48.08]But everything will happen [04:51.62]if he only gives the word [04:58.27]The lovers will rise up [05:01.81]and the mountains touch the ground [05:07.13]But the skylight is like skin [05:12.54]for a drum I'll never mend [05:18.04]And all the rain falls down amen [05:25.99]on the works of last year's man
