Ballad Of The Broken Seas

依莎貝( Isobel Campbell ) Ballad Of The Broken Seas歌詞
1.Deus Ibi Est

Against my will to these sad shores
An unknown force has drawn me
Bound unto a future shaped by ancestors before me
Day on day I march the beat to someone else's drum
I have searched far foreign lands there's nowhere left to run

Impending storm rise up rise up
Oh demons I shall shame you!
Look down the barrel of my gun and one by one I'll name you
Day on day my brothers leave go marching off to war
Yet we never understand for what we're fighting for

Ubi caritas et amor
(Where there is tender care and love)
Ubi caritas
(Where there is tender care)
Deus ibi est
(God is present)

Worldly desires and worldly gains
Designed for worldly men
I'm a master of the heart with ears and hands to lend
Soldiers come and soldiers go some changed by love for thee
A circle in the chain of life all fighting to be free

Ubi caritas et amor
Ubi caritas
Deus ibi est

So come my lord and we shall dance
To God's own private drum
Sweet Jesus and the holy vine
The afterlife to come
Day on day I march the the beat to someone else's drum
I have searched far foreign lands there's nowhere left to run

Ubi caritas et amor
Ubi caritas
Deus ibi est


2.Black Mountain

I met a man, whom I never doubt
Flew into the sun, our bodies on fire
Betrothed to a mate, pray it is not so
Invoke father time, then he let her go

Lie true lie true lie true lie true
Lie true lie true lie true lie true
Lie true lie true lie true lie true
Lie true lie true lie true lie true

I know a dog, much blacker than night
Who lives in a house where nothing is right
All sorrow and ? riches at bay
all watching a few to the li- ??

Lie true lie true lie true lie true
Lie true lie true lie true lie true
Lie true lie true lie true lie true
Lie true lie true lie true lie true

Some dream of coins or some beauty's find
But I want the truth while I serve my time
Most complex and pain, I'd share it with you
The moon looks bright so come say i do

Lie true lie true lie true lie true
Lie true lie true lie true lie true
Lie true lie true lie true lie true
Lie true lie true lie true lie true


3.The False Husband


4.Ballad of broken seas

I bring you a tale of the broken seas
And I'm drowning in whisky and beer
My doctor reports if I don't stop soon
I'll drown in an ocean of tears

I looked to you and saw my desire
Went from the frying pan into the fire
Surrendered to sorrow and was undone
Now i'm praying that it won't be long

We fucked up the sun into kingdom come
You are under my blood and my skin
Living life at each other's throats
In the gilded sailboat of sin

Ours was an ocean to swim around in
Ours was an ocean I should have drowned in
My doctor reports that we must be strong
But I'm praying that it won't be long


5.Revolver

I know what you do
I will soon catch you

Now after all
Don't it feel like nothing
Like walking away
Like a mouthful of rain
At twelve o'clock
A bell starts ringing
A dog starts barking
And you're still missing
Still missing something
You've never known what it was

And I'm not one for thinking twice
But I know this much is true
The earth will turn, the pot'll burn
And you are my revolver

Just waking up
Some dogs start barking
A bell starts ringing
And you're still missing
And after all
Don't it feel like nothing
Like walking away
Like a mouthful of rain
I'm holding on
'Cause you're my revolver
And I dreamed of an ending
And flying away


6.Ramblin' Man

Mark Lanegan:

I can settle down
And be doing just fine
Till I hear an old freight
Going down the line

Then I hurry straight
Home and pack
And if I didn't go
I believe I'd blow my stack

I love you baby
But you must understand
When the Lord made me
He made a ramblin' man

Some folks may say
That I'm no good
That I wouldn't settle
Down if I could

But when that open road
Starts calling me
There's something over the hill
That I've gotta see

Sometimes it's hard
But you gotta understand
When the Lord made me
He made a ramblin' man

I love to see
The towns passing by
And to ride these rails
'Neath God's blue skies

Let me travel this land
From the mountains to the sea
Cause that's the life
I believe He meant for me

And when I'm gone
And at my grave you stand
Just say God's called
Home his ramblin' man

Isobel Campbell :

Got my loving arms to keep you warm
In the kitchen cooking up a storm
If uncle tells me stay away from you
That is something I could never do

You're my baby, you're my loving man
When you're in trouble, do the best you can
I'm naked daddy just for you
Force of nature and you're coming through

Loving you, going hot and cold
Loving you, getting good and soaked
How I know you hate to see me cry
Happens every time I say goodbye

What's the use, you poor seductive man
Don't get feelings and you'll understand
Lying on somebody just like me
Got you dancing to my melody

God knows how I need your loving arms
If you lose me baby, telephone
Try to pieces, stay away from harm
You're my baby though you do me wrong

Love your nature, though I walk the line
Loving dreams, you're just a waste of time
Baby please don't stay away too long
Fire's burning for when you get home


7.Do you wanna come walk with me

Little girl have i told you
How you light up my life
Come and lay down beside me
Come and thrill me tonight
Do you wanna?

I'm not saying ' love you
I won't say ''ll be true
There's a crimson bird flying
When I go down on you

I'm so weary and lonesome
And it's cold in the night
When the path to your doorway
Is a pathway of light

Do you wanna come walk with me?
Do you wanna come walk with me?
If you do baby say it now
Though we'll both wonder anyhow

Do you wanna come walk with me?
Do you wanna come walk with me?
Do you wanna?

Little girl have i told you
You're my guiding north star
And my love travels with you
Wherever you are

From the mountains to the valley
Leave the light on for me
From virginia to alaska
From sea to shining sea

Do you wanna come walk with me?
Do you wanna come walk with me?
If you do baby say it now
Though we'll both wonder anyhow

Do you wanna come walk with me?
Do you wanna come walk with me?
Do you wanna?


8.Saturday's Gone

If we're good (???) for dusty highways and such
Be alright to look her up
The faded priestess of the highways and crutch
Calling when you're down on luck
By the disused railroad road station you go
To the house of dirty pearl
Her existential situation you know
She is not like other girls

She may ask you, “Do you believe?”
You can't stay, though you'll never leave

See the sapphire in the skylines so blue
See the diamond in the dirt
When you think the subject won't turn to you
She got demons up her skirt
Isn't sure of her reflection at all
Is seduced by all things past
A pleasure-seeker of dejection
Gazing into her looking glass

She may ask you what you believe
But the mirror doesn't see me

Saturday's gone
Saturday's gone
Saturday's gone
Saturday's gone

She may ask you, “Do you believe?”
You can't stay, though you'll never leave

Saturday's gone
Saturday's gone
Saturday's gone
Saturday's gone

Now a sundown comes, a new day for her
Tired of dress and ??
You'd be a fool to ask her to lift you up
Why go up when we go down?
You should tire of ties that bind you
Film of fever leaves so fast
You've got trouble far behind you
Well knows nothings' made to last
See how God hears a lion roar
Watch the serpent crossing the floor

Saturday's gone
Saturday's gone...


9.It's Hard To Kill A Bad Thing

(Instrumental)


10.Honey child what can I do

Wishin', hopin', for that old familiar feeling
That takes you miles above, yeah it's called love
Would you do it for me
'Cause I'm feelin' lonely

Prayin', hopin', and I leave the door wide open
I see you and you catch your spill
But come and sit by me
'Cause I'm feelin' lonely

Maybe I'm a stupid fool
Chasin' butterflies like you
On these days they seem so cruel
But honey, child what can i do

Maybe I'm a stupid fool
Chasin' butterflies like you
On these days they seem so cruel
But honey, child what can I do

Honey, child what can I do


11.Dusty Wreath

Oh dusty wreath
Your loving was everything
Oh dusty wreath
Your loving was everything to me


12.The Circus Is Leaving Town

The party's over now
So draw the curtains down
Your secret's safe to keep
Unzip your velvet gown
And let your hair hang loose
Kick off your satin shoes
Throw back the ida down
Farewell to Friday's clown

The circus is leaving town
Oh Ruby, roll your stockins down
Circus is leaving town
Oh Ruby, dry your eyes

Fix up something to heap
Still water still run deep
The dogs are barking now
Get back out on the street

The circus is leaving town
Oh Ruby, roll your stockins down
Circus is leaving town
So Ruby, dry your eyes

The party is over now
Stop howling at the moon
You need a different beat
You need a different tune

Remember that old song
We heard when we were young
Life was an empty page
The world would ride upon

Do you recall the meadow past
We sit and watch the hours pass
You were such a good girl then
Oh ruby dry your eyes

Circus is leaving town
Oh Ruby, roll your stockins down
Circus is leaving town
So Ruby, dry your eyes

You're searching when you walk
You're searching when you talk
You could make me believe
That the sun sets in the east
The sun sets in the east
The sun sets in the east
