歌曲名 Remember the Mountain Bed

歌手名 Billy Bragg/Wilco

作词：Woody Guthrie

Do you still sing of the mountain bed

We made of limbs and leaves

Do you still sigh there near the sky

Where the holly berry bleeds

You laughed as I covered you over with leaves

Face breast hips and thighs

You smiled when I said

The leaves were just the color of your eyes

Rosin' smells and turpentine smells

From eucalyptus and pine

Bitter tastes of twigs we chewed

Where tangled wood vines twine

Trees held us in on all four sides

So thick we could not see

I could not see any wrong in you

And you saw none in me

Your arm was brown against the ground

Your cheeks part of the sky

Your fingers played with grassy moss

As limber you did lie

Your stomach moved beneath your shirt

And your knees were in the air

Your feet played games with mountain roots

As you lay thinking there

Below us the trees grew clumps of trees

Raised families of trees and they

As proud as we tossed their heads in the wind

And flung good seeds away

The sun was hot and the sun was bright down

In the valley below

Where people starved and hungry for life

So empty come and go

There in the shade and hid from the sun

We freed our minds and learned

Our greatest reason for being here

Our bodies moved and burned

There on our mountain bed of leaves

We learned life's reason why

The people laugh and love and dream

They fight they hate to die

The smell of your hair I know is still there

If most of our leaves are blown

Our words still ring in the brush and the trees

Where singing seeds are sown

Your shape and form is dim but plain

There on our mountain bed

I see my life was brightest

Where you laughed and laid your head

I learned the reason why man must work

And how to dream big dreams

To conquer time and space

And fight the rivers and the seas

I stand here filled with my emptiness now

And look at city and land

And I know why farms

And cities are built by hot warm nervous hands

I crossed many states just to stand here now

My face all hot with tears

I crossed city and valley desert and stream

To bring my body here

My history and future blaze bright in me

And all my joy and pain

Go through my head on our mountain bed

Where I smell your hair again

All this day long I linger here and on in through the night

My greeds desires my cravings hopes

My dreams inside me fight

My loneliness healed my emptiness filled

I walk above all pain

Back to the breast of my woman and child

To scatter my seeds again
