Get down, get down, little Henry Lee
And stay all night with me
You won't find a girl in this damn world
That will compare with me
And the wind did howl and the wind did blow
La la la la la
La la la la lee
A little bird lit down on Henry Lee

I can't get down and I won't get down
And stay all night with thee
For the girl I have in that merry green land
I love far better than thee
And the wind did howl and the wind did blow
La la la la la
La la la la lee
A little bird lit down on Henry Lee

She leaned herself against a fence
Just for a kiss or two
And with a little pen-knife held in her hand
She plugged him through and through
And the wind did roar and the wind did moan
La la la la la
La la la la lee
A little bird lit down on Henry Lee

Come take him by his lilly-white hands
Come take him by his feet
And throw him in this deep deep well
Which is more than one hundred feet
And the wind did howl and the wind did blow
La la la la la
La la la la lee
A little bird lit down on Henry Lee

Lie there, lie there, little Henry Lee
Till the flesh drops from your bones
For the girl you have in that merry green land
Can wait forever for you to come home
And the wind did howl and the wind did moan
La la la la la
La la la la lee
A little bird lit down on Henry Lee

Henry Lee / Nic Cave and the Bad Seeds featuring P.J. Harvey / 1996


在 Nick Cave 的歌裏面，這應該是我最喜歡的一首了。
音樂當然是好聽的。可是最讓我喜歡的，卻是文字的韻律，跟整個搭配起來的美麗。

我喜歡這種簡單的歌詞，講一個簡單的故事，說一個簡單的心情；
文字可以堆砌，卻依然簡單、迴旋、簡單，又迴旋。
寫一首可以唱來簡單的小歌，相信我，遠遠比一篇磅礡的鉅作來的困難；
兼加美麗。

人生是無意義的迴旋。
如果藝術是忘卻生活的調劑，是如葡萄牙詩人佩索亞所說的 "暫時的失憶"，所以只能活在永恆的回憶當中；那麼是否接近真相就一點都不重要了。這可以解釋為什麼浪漫派 (跟偶像劇) 總是先受到大眾的歡迎；同時，也一併解釋了為什麼在我心底，不論如何，永遠還是巴哈的迴旋更接近神性的領域。

只不過神性與否，在21世紀，也早已不再有它原有的重量。
我們缺少的只是重量的感受。我們缺少的只是感受的重量感。
而人生、世界的原貌，一直都是那個樣子，一如遠方的山嶺。
