《Home by Another Way》歌词

[00:00:02] Home By Another Way - James Taylor

[00:00:12] Those magic men the Magi

[00:00:15] Some people call them wise

[00:00:19] Or Oriental even kings

[00:00:22] Well anyway those guys

[00:00:25] They visited with Jesus

[00:00:28] They sure enjoyed their stay

[00:00:32] Then warned in a dream of King Herod's scheme

[00:00:35] They went home by another way

[00:00:38] Yes they went home by another way

[00:00:41] Home by another way

[00:00:44] Maybe me and you can be wise guys too

[00:00:48] And go home by another way

[00:00:52] We can make it another way

[00:00:55] Safe home as they used to say

[00:00:57] Keep a weather eye to the chart on high

[00:01:00] And go home another way

[00:01:10] Steer clear of royal welcomes

[00:01:14] Avoid a big to-do

[00:01:17] A king who would slaughter the innocents

[00:01:20] Will not cut a deal for you

[00:01:23] He really really wants those presents

[00:01:26] He'll comb your camel's fur

[00:01:30] Until his boys announce they've found trace amounts

[00:01:33] Of your frankincense gold and myrth

[00:01:36] Time to go home by another way

[00:01:39] Home by another way

[00:01:42] You have to figure the Gods saying play the odds

[00:01:45] And go home by another way

[00:01:50] We can make it another way

[00:01:53] Safe home as they used to say

[00:01:55] Keep a weather eye to the chart on high

[00:01:58] And go home another way

[00:02:10] Home is where they want you now

[00:02:15] You can more or less assume that you'll be welcome in the end

[00:02:23] Mustn't let King Herod haunt you so

[00:02:28] Or fantasize his features when you're looking at a friend

[00:02:34] Well it pleasures me to be here

[00:02:37] And to sing this song tonight

[00:02:41] They tell me that life is a miracle

[00:02:44] And I figured that they're right

[00:02:47] But Herod's always out there

[00:02:50] He's got our cards on file

[00:02:53] It's a lead pipe cinch if we give an inch

[00:02:57] Old Herod likes to take a mile

[00:02:59] It's best to go home by another way

[00:03:03] Home by another way

[00:03:06] We got this far to a lucky star

[00:03:09] But tomorrow is another day

[00:03:13] We can make it another way

[00:03:17] Safe home as they used to say

[00:03:19] Keep a weather eye to the chart on high

[00:03:22] And go home another way
