Year of the Vine歌词完整版
The earth lies hard and cold
The closing chapter
Of a year grown old
The snowy blanket here
Betrays the secret paths
Of fox and deer
And sat upon a naked branch
The robin sings for courage
And good cheer
And the frost on the vine
Speaks of sleep and patience
For the coming time
The soil is speared with green
The snowdrops bursting
Where the snow has been
The verdant woodland too
Lies freshly carpeted in vibrant blue
And rising from the waking earth
The skylark sings for joy at his fine view
And the bud on the vine
Speaks of hope and promise
In the coming time
The earth is warm and dry
A blazing sun commands an azure sky
A fragrant sultry breeze
Invades the cool beneath
The shady trees
And sailing high above their crowns
The swifts cry tales
Of deserts and of seas
And the leaf on the vine
Speaks of sweet and plenty
In the coming time
The mist is hanging low
Until the sleepy sun will bid it go
The leaves turn gold and brown
Waiting for a storm to shake them down
And perching high upon a hedge
The blackbird sings
For beauty of the sound
And the fruit on the vine
Speaks of work and pleasure
In the coming time
In the pruning of the vine
And the pressing of the wine
Lie faith in soil, sun and rain
And hope we'll raise a glass again
To toast the coming of the coming time
And if in time the seasons pass
For smoke has driven out the mist
And broke the balance
Of the sun and rain
We'll mourn the passing of these years
And drink, and think of all
The times that came
