《Kingdom Of Childhood(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] Kingdom Of Childhood (Album Version) - Joan Baez (琼·贝兹)

[00:00:08] The ship that sails the seven seas

[00:00:15] Has finally brought me to my knees

[00:00:20] It's not much to my liking

[00:00:26] The people standing on the rock

[00:00:33] Are innocent and they know not

[00:00:38] That the tide comes in

[00:00:40] Death rides it like a Viking

[00:00:46] The mountains rise above the mist

[00:00:53] And the golden prince I've never kissed

[00:00:59] He may die tonight

[00:01:05] And why do I want to ride with

[00:01:12] The prince whose alleged horse is white

[00:01:17] Because when we ride together

[00:01:20] Our lives are cloaked forever

[00:01:26] Happiness is temporary

[00:01:29] Believe me I know

[00:01:33] It can arrive as a shining crystal

[00:01:36] And leave as the melting snow

[00:01:41] Come all you lads and lasses

[00:01:45] The Kingdom of Childhood passes

[00:01:56] Oh but I am hardy in these years

[00:02:03] Or I'd have sunk down with my tears

[00:02:08] To the earth beneath my feet

[00:02:14] I want to endure the slings and arrows

[00:02:21] That Hamlet spoke about

[00:02:24] But harrowed

[00:02:26] He was forced to a ragged defeat

[00:02:34] There was a method to his madness

[00:02:41] But overcome by pride and sadness

[00:02:46] He did not endure

[00:02:52] Surely his death was a grave mistake

[00:02:59] How many deaths do we really calculate

[00:03:05] Isn't it true Lord

[00:03:08] Tragedies happen when you're bored

[00:03:15] Happiness is temporary

[00:03:18] Believe me I know

[00:03:21] It can arrive as a shining crystal

[00:03:24] And leave as the melting snow

[00:03:29] Come all you lads and lasses

[00:03:32] The Kingdom of Childhood passes

[00:03:44] You archangels you have some nerve

[00:03:51] To watch all of this you are absurd

[00:03:55] You even have a choice

[00:04:02] Do you know all I think you may

[00:04:10] And what is there for you to say

[00:04:14] But understand

[00:04:15] Why God took back your voice

[00:04:22] SIlence is golden I believe

[00:04:30] And you are worth your weight

[00:04:32] In wreaths of purest gold

[00:04:39] While we are here with debts and bets

[00:04:48] And aircraft carriers and jets

[00:04:52] I call out fruitlessly

[00:04:55] Give me an archangel for company

[00:05:02] Happiness is temporary

[00:05:04] Believe me I know

[00:05:09] It can arrive as a shining crystal

[00:05:12] And leave as the melting snow

[00:05:16] Come all you lads and lasses

[00:05:20] The Kingdom of Childhood passes

[00:05:31] Me in the woods at the break of dawn

[00:05:39] The candles of the night still on

[00:05:43] The chimes ring from the hollow

[00:05:50] I too am worth my weight in gold

[00:05:57] But the fishmonger and I are old

[00:06:01] When the mint runs out

[00:06:03] Our real lives will follow

[00:06:09] It was misfortune who woke you up

[00:06:16] To pour you the dregs from her broken cup

[00:06:21] Cast her aside

[00:06:27] The sunrise will appear with the mockingbird

[00:06:34] Who stays deep in the canyon and is heard

[00:06:39] Glorious in his song

[00:06:43] He cannot be wrong

[00:06:49] Happiness is temporary

[00:06:52] Believe me I know

[00:06:56] It can arrive as a shining crystal

[00:06:59] And leave as the melting snow

[00:07:04] Come all you lads and lasses

[00:07:09] The Kingdom of Childhood passes

[00:07:11] There's another one just beyond

[00:07:14] Act quickly before it's gone
