[00:00.00] | 作词 : Clark |
[00:28.83] | My father had a Randall knife |
[00:31.33] | My mother gave it to him |
[00:35.02] | When he went off to WWII |
[00:37.71] | To save us all from ruin |
[00:43.51] | If you've ever held a Randall knife |
[00:46.33] | Then you know my father well |
[00:50.08] | If a better blade was ever made |
[00:52.76] | It was probably forged in hell |
[00:59.51] | My father was a good man |
[01:02.45] | A lawyer by his trade |
[01:06.08] | And only once did I ever see |
[01:08.26] | Him misuse the blade |
[01:15.25] | It almost cut his thumb off |
[01:17.81] | When he took it for a tool |
[01:21.50] | The knife was made for darker things |
[01:24.75] | And you could not bend the rules |
[01:30.79] | He let me take it camping once |
[01:33.85] | On a Boy Scout jamboree |
[01:34.85] | And I broke a half an inch off |
[01:40.29] | Trying to stick it in a tree |
[01:47.48] | I hid it from him for a while |
[01:49.17] | But the knife and he were one |
[01:53.22] | He put it in his bottom drawer |
[01:54.91] | Without a hard word one |
[01:58.53] | There it slept and there it stayed |
[02:05.06] | For twenty some odd years |
[02:09.04] | Sort of like Excalibur |
[02:11.54] | Except waiting for a tear |
[02:21.91] | |
[02:48.46] | My father died when I was forty |
[02:49.90] | And I couldn't find a way to cry |
[02:52.97] | Not because I didn't love him |
[02:56.77] | Not because he didn't try |
[03:00.60] | I'd cried for every lesser thing |
[03:05.74] | Whiskey, pain and beauty |
[03:07.49] | But he deserved a better tear |
[03:13.05] | And I was not quite ready |
[03:23.37] | So we took his ashed out to sea |
[03:24.82] | And poured 'em off the stern |
[03:26.31] | And threw the roses in the wake |
[03:31.25] | Of everything we'd learned |
[03:36.63] | When we got back to the house |
[03:40.00] | They asked me what I wanted |
[03:43.51] | Not the lawbooks not the watch |
[03:45.75] | I need the things he's haunted |
[03:53.00] | My hand burned for the Randall knife |
[03:55.88] | There in the bottom drawer |
[04:01.32] | And I found a tear for my father's life |
[04:02.94] | And all that it stood for |
