《The Island》歌词

[00:00:00] The Island - The Hit Co. (热歌公司)

[00:00:21] They say the skies of Lebanon are burning,

[00:00:26] Those mighty Cedars bleeding in the heat,

[00:00:31] They're showing pictures on the Television,

[00:00:36] Women and children dying in the street,

[00:00:43] And we're still at it in our own place,

[00:00:47] Still trying to reach the future through the past,

[00:00:52] Still trying to carve tomorrow from a tombstone...

[00:00:59] But hey ! Don't listen to me !

[00:01:01] This wasn't meant to be no sad song,

[00:01:06] We've heard too much of that before,

[00:01:12] Right now I only want to be here with you,

[00:01:16] Till the morning dew comes fall

[00:01:19] Ing,

[00:01:22] I want to take you to the Island,

[00:01:27] And trace your footprints in the sand,

[00:01:32] And in the evening when the sun goes down,

[00:01:37] We'll make love to the sound of the ocean.

[00:01:49] They're raising banners over by the markets,

[00:01:55] Whitewashing slogans on the shipyard walls,

[00:02:00] Witchdoctors praying for a mighty showdown,

[00:02:05] No way our holy flag is gonna fall,

[00:02:12] Up here we sacrifice our children,

[00:02:16] To feed the worn out dreams of yesterday,

[00:02:21] And teach them dying will lead us into glory...

[00:02:27] But hey ! Don't listen to me !

[00:02:30] This wasn't meant to be no sad song,

[00:02:35] We've heard too much of that before,

[00:02:40] Right now I only want to be here with you,

[00:02:45] Till the morning dew comes falling

[00:02:51] I want to take you to the Island,

[00:02:56] And trace your footprints in the sand,

[00:03:01] And in the evening when the sun goes down,

[00:03:06] We'll make love to the sound of the ocean.

[00:03:29] Now I know us plain folks don't see all the story,

[00:03:34] And I know this peace and love's just copping out,

[00:03:39] And I guess these young boys dying in the ditches,

[00:03:44] Is just what being free is all about,

[00:03:51] And how this twisted wreckage down on main street,

[00:03:55] Will bring us all together in the end,

[00:04:00] And we'll go marching down the road

[00:04:03] To freedom ... freedom ...
