《Telegraph Road》歌词

[00:00:00] Telegraph Road (Live) - Mark Knopfler (马克·诺普弗勒)

[00:01:47] A long time ago came a man on a track

[00:01:52] Walking thirty miles with a sack on his back

[00:01:56] And he put down his load where he thought it was the best

[00:02:00] He made a home in the wilderness

[00:02:07] He built a cabin and a winter store

[00:02:10] And he ploughed up the ground by the cold lake shore

[00:02:15] And the other travellers came walking down the track

[00:02:19] And they never went further and they never went back

[00:02:26] Then came the churches then came the schools

[00:02:29] Then came the lawyers then came the rules

[00:02:33] Then came the trains and the trucks with their loads

[00:02:37] And the dirty old track was the telegraph road

[00:03:07] Then came the mines then came the ore

[00:03:11] Then there was the hard times then there was a war

[00:03:15] Telegraph sang a song about the world outside

[00:03:19] Telegraph road got so deep and so wide

[00:03:25] Like a rolling river

[00:04:17] And my radio says tonight it's gonna freeze

[00:04:22] People driving home from the factories

[00:04:25] There's six lanes of traffic

[00:04:30] Three lanes moving slow

[00:06:39] I used to like to go to work but they shut it down

[00:06:43] I've got a right to go to work but

[00:06:45] There's no work here to be found

[00:06:47] Yes and they say we're gonna have to pay what's owed

[00:06:52] We're gonna have to reap from some seed that's been sowed

[00:06:57] And the birds up on the wires and the telegraph poles

[00:07:02] They can always fly away from this rain and this cold

[00:07:06] You can hear them singing out their telegraph code

[00:07:09] All the way down the telegraph road

[00:07:47] You know I'd sooner forget but I remember those nights

[00:07:52] When life was just a bet on a race between the lights

[00:07:55] You had your head on my shoulder you had your hand in my hair

[00:08:00] Now you act a little colder like you don't seem to care

[00:08:06] But believe in me baby and I'll take you away

[00:08:10] From out of this darkness and into the day

[00:08:14] From these rivers of headlights these rivers of rain

[00:08:18] From the anger that lives on the streets with these names

[00:08:23] Cause I've run every red light on memory lane

[00:08:27] I've seen desperation explode into flames

[00:08:32] And I don't wanna see it again

[00:08:38] From all of these signs saying sorry but we're closed

[00:08:45] All the way down the telegraph road
