《Elysium(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] Elysium - Mary Chapin Carpenter

[00:00:09] I don't really know how I got here this time

[00:00:19] I was only just following orders

[00:00:26] Listening to the voice in my mind

[00:00:36] Saying steer clear of margins and borders

[00:00:42] So I wasn't thinking of where we would go

[00:00:47] On a could afternoon through the mountains we drove

[00:00:52] Up a few hairpin turns and then spread out below

[00:00:57] The valley appeared with the sun

[00:01:04] Like Elysium

[00:01:12] I looked out the window and stared at the fields

[00:01:24] Where the blue sky and green were colliding

[00:01:31] I looked back at you and I knew we were sealed

[00:01:42] By a fate that has ways of providing

[00:01:47] Yes sometimes you get there in spite of the route Losing track of your life and

[00:01:54] What it's about

[00:01:56] The road seems to know when to straighten right out

[00:02:02] The closer you come

[00:02:09] To Elysium

[00:02:32] They say there's a place for those who are good

[00:02:43] With it's pearly gates swinging wide open

[00:02:50] The rest of us here are just knocking on wood

[00:03:02] Quietly piously hoping

[00:03:06] I could wonder if all of it led me to you

[00:03:11] I could show you the arrows and circles I drew

[00:03:16] I didn't have a map it's the best I could do

[00:03:21] On the fly and on the run

[00:03:26] To dreams that were tethered like kites to the ground

[00:03:31] To the bridges I burned to then turning around

[00:03:36] It was here in your heart I was finally found

[00:03:41] And the last battle won for Elysium
