[00:00.000] 作曲 : Linford Detweiler
[00:00.411]All Over Ohio -Over The Rhine
[00:11.470]Well the rain it has been falling
[00:13.840]Like it wants to drown us all
[00:16.390]And the trees are gently swaying
[00:19.170]Like they ’re thinkin ’‘bout the fall
[00:22.00]I still get shivers when I hear
[00:25.20]You singin ’down the hall
[00:29.479]I ’m gonna kiss you all over Ohio
[00:37.629]And the starlings they were flying
[00:41.19]Earlier today
[00:43.549]Doing their maneuvers
[00:46.259]Clouds of feathers on display
[00:49.469]Makes me wanna kneel in prayer but
[00:52.399]I ’ve forgotten what to say
[00:56.748]I ’ll just name all the birds in Ohio
[01:05.558]Now the reason I am writing
[01:08.08]Is to tell you ‘bout the flood
[01:11.268]Ahh the river is so beautiful
[01:13.778]But it leaves a load of mud
[01:16.828]All I have now are these dirty songs
[01:19.598]I guess they ’re in my blood
[01:24.148]They make me wander so far from Ohio
[01:30.278]Yeah）It ’s a silly undertaking
[01:32.888]To fly halfway ‘round the earth
[01:35.868]With an imaginary womb of songs
[01:39.858]Intent on giving birth
[01:41.988]I gave all that I had to give
[01:44.828]I ’m not sure what it ’s worth
[01:49.218]Scatter the ashes right here in Ohio
[01:58.628]All I wanna be is a thousand black birds
[02:03.458]Bursting from a tree into the blue
[02:10.358]Love –let it be not just a feeling
[02:15.218]But the broken beauty
[02:18.98]Of what we choose to do
[02:28.627]And the halleujah chorus
[02:30.987]Used to make my Daddy cry
[02:33.777]I still wonder ‘bout the ruckus
[02:36.297]Angels make up there on high
[02:39.707]In the meanwhile there are measures
[02:42.287]We can take to get us by
[02:47.97]Lay me down next to you in Ohio
[02:52.867]But my expectations stand still
[02:55.837]Like beggars at the door
[02:58.547]I ’m flat broke from the dues
[03:01.227]I ’ve paid them all before
[03:04.537]Gonna let the Cuyahoga
[03:07.497]Wash me up on burning shores
[03:12.107]Shipwrecked with you in Ohio
[03:21.597]All I wanna be is a thousand black birds
[03:26.827]Bursting from a tree into the blue
[03:33.627]Love –let it be not just a feeling
[03:38.667]But the broken beauty
[03:41.327]Of what we choose to do
[03:51.827]I have seen the slow corruption
[03:54.187]Of the best ideas of Christ
[03:57.357]In the pulpits of our nation
[04:00.187]Gospel turned into white lies
[04:03.197]If you preach a subtle hatred -
[04:05.847]The bible as your alibi
[04:10.956]Goddam you right here in Ohio
[04:16.876]But my shameless hallucination:
[04:19.806]He ’s still knockin ’at my door
[04:22.986]And I know how this one ’s gonna end
[04:26.206]He ’s gotten in before
[04:28.866]I ’ve run as fast as I can run
[04:32.346]I ’ve had to ask What for
[04:36.816]He haunts me all over Ohio
[04:46.426]All I wanna be is a thousand black birds
[04:51.756]Bursting from a tree into the blue
[04:58.716]Love –let it be not just a feeling
[05:03.706]But the broken beauty
[05:06.406]Of what we choose to do
[05:17.865]Well the rain it has been falling
[05:20.425]Like it wants to drown us all
[05:23.115]And the trees are gently swaying
[05:25.955]Like they ’re thinkin ’‘bout the fall
[05:28.645]I still get shivers when I hear
[05:32.35]You singin ’down the hall
[05:35.195]I ’m gonna kiss you all over Ohio
