[00:00.00]The Captain - Leonard Cohen (莱昂纳德·科恩)
[00:07.40]Now the captain called me to his bed
[00:10.66]
[00:11.48]He fumbled for my hand
[00:13.86]
[00:15.45]Take these silver bars he said
[00:18.42]
[00:19.01]I'm giving you command
[00:21.59]
[00:22.56]Command of what
[00:24.38]There's no one here
[00:26.37]There's only you and me
[00:29.04]
[00:30.16]All the rest are dead or in retreat
[00:33.61]
[00:34.24]Or with the enemy
[00:36.65]
[00:37.73]Complain complain
[00:39.69]That's all you've done
[00:41.32]
[00:42.10]Ever since we lost
[00:44.54]
[00:45.35]If it's not the crucifixion
[00:48.28]
[00:49.16]Then it's the holocaust
[00:52.15]
[00:53.06]May christ have mercy on your soul
[00:56.98]For making such a joke
[00:59.79]
[01:00.69]Amid these hearts that burn like coal
[01:04.58]And the flesh that rose like smoke
[01:07.34]
[01:08.32]I know that you have suffered lad
[01:11.73]
[01:12.34]But suffer this awhile:
[01:14.93]
[01:15.99]Whatever makes a soldier sad
[01:19.43]
[01:20.13]Will make a killer smile
[01:22.09]
[01:23.62]I'm leaving captain I gatta go
[01:27.36]There's blood upon your hand
[01:30.28]
[01:31.11]But tell me captain if you know
[01:35.00]Of a decent place to stand
[01:37.66]
[01:38.95]There is no decent place to stand
[01:42.39]
[01:43.16]In a massacre;
[01:45.61]
[01:46.49]But if a woman take your hand
[01:50.31]And go stand with her
[01:52.91]
[01:54.06]I left a wife in tennessee
[01:57.82]And a baby in saigon
[02:01.10]
[02:01.67]I risked my life but not to hear
[02:05.43]Some country-western song
[02:08.47]
[02:09.16]Ah but if you cannot raise your love
[02:13.27]To a very high degree
[02:15.70]
[02:16.76]Then you're just the man
[02:18.77]I've been thinking of
[02:20.37]
[02:21.00]So come and stand with me
[02:23.44]
[02:24.54]Your standing days are done
[02:27.53]I cried
[02:28.26]You'll rally me no more
[02:31.25]
[02:32.62]I don't even know what side
[02:35.96]We fought on or what for
[02:38.68]
[02:39.68]I'm on the side that's always lost
[02:43.73]Against the side of heaven
[02:46.29]
[02:47.28]I'm on the side of snake-eyes tossed
[02:51.31]Against the side of seven
[02:53.93]
[02:54.87]And I've read the bill of human rights
[02:58.78]And some of it was true
[03:01.47]
[03:02.52]But there wasn't any burden left
[03:06.34]So I'm laying it on you
[03:09.14]
[03:10.35]Now the captain he was dying
[03:13.03]
[03:14.08]But the captain wasn't hurt
[03:16.78]
[03:17.81]The silver bars were in my hand
[03:21.32]
[03:22.14]Pinned them to my shirt
