[00:39.203]While in the form of the ant
[00:43.451]The goose and the wren
[00:47.709]Left the shores of Maryland
[00:52.462]To find better oxygen
[00:56.955]While the outcry of twenty men
[01:00.952]Run from the nearby battalion
[01:05.453]As if we avoid their light
[01:09.951]That we might make it home tonight
[01:15.457]And one old crook
[01:19.447]Carries a very heavy book
[01:23.951]Friends would say 'sir
[01:26.715]Are you sure some good
[01:29.206]Could come of your learning?'
[01:33.449]And he said 'my girl gave it to me
[01:37.455]Just before the war
[01:42.444]I've never read a book like this before
[01:46.960]It's giving me kind of a kind of a binding
[01:52.951]But if it is love then I'm not quite sure if I should keep it
[02:00.950]But I've heard it's a part of the whole so I guess I need it
[02:09.697]But I'll certainly be sure to stay above the ground
[02:19.455]Lately beautiful things got a way of bringing me down
[02:28.957]Here lie one hundred men
[02:33.147]Fighters every one of them
[02:37.909]They went into the light and oh no
[02:42.392]They won't be home tonight
[02:46.645]And I came upon a kid with a kite
[02:50.152]Despite the storms said he's going to fly
[02:55.407]So I said 'brother
[02:58.650]What would your mother say?'
[03:04.897]And he said 'hold your tongue!
[03:09.394]It was a present
[03:14.144]And god damn I am a man
[03:18.148]I ain't afraid of the rain!'
[03:24.146]But what can a bystander do?
[03:33.395]No more than watch the spidery lights take a hold of you
[03:41.896]But you know I warned you boy
[03:44.400]You know I told you boy
[03:46.651]I'll hold you back boy
[03:48.393]But now I don't know but
[03:50.908]Cause in a curious kind of way
[03:55.145]I want to grow along with you
[04:00.647]And morning did come
[04:02.645]I was standing struck dumb
[04:04.894]By the man in the sun
[04:06.913]And the only live one
[04:09.404]Held a string from his thumb
[04:11.155]That stretched up to the sky
[04:13.400]Where the heron flew by
[04:15.654]Singing 'oh me and oh my!'
[04:18.148]And the goose and the wren
[04:20.153]No I have not seen them
[04:22.402]But the water looks nice
[04:24.645]So I dare not think twice
[04:26.898]And I'm sure that they're fine
[04:28.900]Very good friends of mine
[04:31.147]Cause sometimes I can't tell
[04:33.161]When things are unwell
[04:35.396]By the look of the sea
[04:37.642]Starting straight back at me
[04:39.896]And I miss 'em I do
[04:42.402]But I think it is true
[04:44.413]That when the love go
[04:46.403]Its the lovers who show
[04:48.649]Just how lonely they are
[04:50.644]In a song or a scar
[04:53.651]Sincerely your friend
[04:55.406]Write back to me, wren
[04:57.899]I've been thinking too much
[04:59.899]Down here in the sand
[05:02.397]The farmer stands and says 'what happened to the land?
[05:10.655]It used to be fertile. It used to be good, when I was a lad'
[05:21.151]The farmer calls out to his men says
[05:29.402]'It's getting late boys, it's best you come back in'
[05:37.649](Everbody together!!!)

作曲 : Christine Frances Quinlan
While in the form of the ant
The goose and the wren
Left the shores of Maryland
To find better oxygen
While the outcry of twenty men
Run from the nearby battalion
As if we avoid their light
That we might make it home tonight
And one old crook
Carries a very heavy book
Friends would say 'sir
Are you sure some good
Could come of your learning?'
And he said 'my girl gave it to me
Just before the war
I've never read a book like this before
It's giving me kind of a kind of a binding
But if it is love then I'm not quite sure if I should keep it
But I've heard it's a part of the whole so I guess I need it
But I'll certainly be sure to stay above the ground
Lately beautiful things got a way of bringing me down
Here lie one hundred men
Fighters every one of them
They went into the light and oh no
They won't be home tonight
And I came upon a kid with a kite
Despite the storms said he's going to fly
So I said 'brother
What would your mother say?'
And he said 'hold your tongue!

Write back to me, wren
I've been thinking too much
Down here in the sand
