| Song | Out of Pawn |
| Artist | Anaïs Mitchell |
| Album | The Brightness |
| 作曲 : Mitchell | |
| hey uncle louie, I wrote you a song | |
| I'm glad you got your heart out of pawn | |
| I'm glad you got your king out of check | |
| at least that's how things stood when I saw you last | |
| it was New Orleans before the flood | |
| you had just met a girl! you were falling in love! | |
| she lived on the levee and knew the blues | |
| and played harmonica better than you | |
| in a neighborhood bar | |
| in the middle of summer | |
| shoulder-to-shoulder | |
| setting like sister and brother | |
| all of the sorrows you told each other | |
| rose like smoke from the room | |
| the heat and the bourbon was in your head | |
| you were talking in tongues! you were back from the dead! | |
| and the girl and the city were one and the same | |
| and last call never came | |
| and I can see you swimming out into the street | |
| I can hear you singing, "when I die, don't cry for me" | |
| hey uncle louie, the city is spinning | |
| she sure is pretty. you sure are grinning | |
| she's leading you home from the heat of the bar | |
| to lie on the levee and look at the stars | |
| you can hold her hand | |
| you can kiss her face | |
| go slow if you can | |
| cause the world is a very sad place | |
| and when she leaves she'll leave no trace | |
| and the world will still be there | |
| the sky is colored in purple and yellow | |
| you lie on the levee with stones for pillows | |
| and you and the girl and the city make love | |
| with the harlequin sky up above |
