《Big River(Instrumental)》歌词

[00:00:18] Walking on cobbled stones

[00:00:23] Little bits of skin and bone

[00:00:27] Jumping on the tram car for a ride

[00:00:35] I can remember then

[00:00:39] I was just a boy of ten

[00:00:43] Hanging around the old keyside

[00:00:52] Now all the capstans and the cargo boats

[00:00:57] And stevadores are gone

[00:01:00] To where all the old ships go

[00:01:03] But memories just like the seas live on

[00:01:08] 'Cause that was when coal was king

[00:01:12] The river a living thing

[00:01:17] And I was just a boy but it was mine

[00:01:23] The coaly tyne

[00:01:27] This was a big river

[00:01:32] I want you all to know that I was proud

[00:01:40] This was a big river

[00:01:45] But that was long ago

[00:01:48] That's not now that's not now

[00:01:58] My father was a working man

[00:02:03] He earned our living with his hands

[00:02:07] He had to cross the river every day

[00:02:15] He picked up a union

[00:02:17] Card out of the neptune yard

[00:02:23] Mouths to feed and the bills to pay

[00:02:32] Then came a time for him

[00:02:35] To sail across the seas

[00:02:38] And far away

[00:02:40] Finally when that war was won

[00:02:44] You brought him home and home he stayed

[00:02:49] And when his days were done

[00:02:53] Under a golden sun

[00:02:57] You took him back to where he longed to be

[00:03:03] Back to the sea

[00:03:07] For this was a big river

[00:03:12] I want you all to know that I was proud

[00:03:20] This was a big river

[00:03:25] But that was long ago

[00:03:28] That's not now

[00:03:32] That's not how

[00:03:45] That's not now

[00:03:55] The neptune was the last to go

[00:03:59] I heard it on my radio

[00:04:03] And then they played the latest number one

[00:04:12] But what do they do all day

[00:04:16] And what are they supposed to say

[00:04:20] What does a father tell his son

[00:04:29] If you you believe

[00:04:31] That there's a bond between our future

[00:04:35] And our past

[00:04:37] Try to hold on to what we had

[00:04:41] We build them strong we built to last

[00:04:45] 'Cause this is a mighty town

[00:04:50] Built upon solid ground

[00:04:54] And everything they've tried so hard to kill

[00:05:00] We will rebuild

[00:05:04] For this was a big river

[00:05:09] I want you all to know

[00:05:13] That I'm so very proud

[00:05:17] This was a big river

[00:05:22] But that was long ago

[00:05:25] That's not now

[00:05:29] And this is a big big river

[00:05:34] And in my heart I know it will rise again

[00:05:41] The river will rise again
