Lyrics

[00:00.000] 作曲 : Morten Lauridsen
[00:01.000] 作词 : Dana Gioia
[00:16.705]
[00:22.661] Echo of the clocktower, footstep
[00:27.755] in the alleyway, sweep
[00:32.692] of the wind sifting the leaves.
[00:44.604] Jeweller of the spiderweb, connoisseur
[00:49.515] of autumn's opulence, blade of lightning
[00:54.896] harvesting the sky.
[01:01.766] Keeper of the small gate, choreographer
[01:06.913] of entrances and exits, midnight
[01:11.014] whisper traveling the wires.
[01:18.067] Seducer, healer, deity or thief,
[01:27.523] I will see you soon enough
[01:37.685] soon enough—
[02:01.064] Echo of the clocktower, footstep
[02:05.819] in the alleyway, sweep
[02:09.842] of the wind sifting the leaves.
[02:22.406] Jeweller of the spiderweb, connoisseur
[02:27.553] of autumn's opulence, blade of lightning
[02:32.490] harvesting the sky.
[02:39.099] Keeper of the small gate, choreographer
[02:44.062] of entrances and exits, midnight
[02:48.790] whisper traveling the wires.
[02:55.869] Seducer, healer, deity or thief,
[03:05.535] I will see you soon enough—
[03:13.554] in the shadow of the rainfall,
[03:18.335] in the brief violet darkening a sunset—
[03:24.891] but until then I pray watch over him
[03:42.785] watch over him
[03:50.726]
[03:52.973] watch over him
[04:10.083]
[04:13.218] as a mountain guards its covert ore
[04:22.204] and the harsh falcon its flightless young.
