《The Lag’s Song》歌词

[00:00:00] The Lag's Song - Ewan MacColl

[00:00:03] When I was a young lad

[00:00:08] Sometimes I'd wonder

[00:00:12] What happened to time when it passed

[00:00:19] Then one day I found out

[00:00:22] That time just lands in prison

[00:00:29] And there it is held fast

[00:00:39] When I was a young man

[00:00:44] I used to go courting

[00:00:48] And dream of the moon and the stars

[00:00:56] The moon is still shining the dreams

[00:01:02] They are all broken

[00:01:06] On these hard iron bars

[00:01:16] Look out of the window over the roofs there

[00:01:24] And over the walls see the sky

[00:01:33] Just one flying leap and you could make your getaway

[00:01:43] If only you could fly

[00:01:51] The prison is sleeping the night watch is keeping

[00:02:00] The watch over seven hundred men

[00:02:06] And behind every cell door a sleeping lag is dreaming

[00:02:17] Oh to be free again

[00:02:26] Got time on my hands I've got time on my shoulder

[00:02:35] Got plenty of time on my mind

[00:02:43] There's no summer or winter when once you land inside here

[00:02:55] Just that old prison grind
