《Heroes and Heroines(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:01] Heroes and Heroines - Mary Chapin Carpenter

[00:00:16] Heroes and heroines

[00:00:20] Are scarcer than they've ever been

[00:00:24] So much more to lose than win

[00:00:28] The distance never greater

[00:00:32] Way back when you made history

[00:00:36] By flying planes across the sea

[00:00:40] Embarking on your odyssey

[00:00:44] You put away the danger

[00:00:50] Heaven bless the one

[00:00:52] Who flies a pioneer on frontier skies

[00:00:58] The world was dark and your only mark

[00:01:01] Was the light of the northern star

[00:01:06] I imagine what was in your eyes

[00:01:09] The seeds of rust and days gone by

[00:01:14] Your wings hang in a gallery sky

[00:01:18] I wonder how you're flying

[00:01:28] Way out on the western plains

[00:01:32] The snow drifts high

[00:01:34] And the dust wind burns

[00:01:36] The Chinooks blow

[00:01:37] Their winds across the mountains

[00:01:44] A life that's never safe and dry

[00:01:48] Rodeos and riding high

[00:01:52] Ladies and their men get

[00:01:54] By on six-guns and white lightning

[00:02:02] Heaven bless them on the road

[00:02:06] Those drifters and their dreams of gold

[00:02:10] The world was wide and the cowboy's

[00:02:13] Soul could span the whole horizon

[00:02:18] I imagine what was in your eyes

[00:02:21] The dust and the dirt under outlaw skies

[00:02:26] A piece of land and a stubborn mind

[00:02:29] Were the only things worth having

[00:03:09] Now they say the moon is dust and ash

[00:03:14] And California's made of cash

[00:03:18] We're waiting for those hills to crash

[00:03:22] Into the sparkling waters

[00:03:26] Rain and snow and sun and wind

[00:03:30] You roamed the earth

[00:03:31] And you spread your wings

[00:03:34] And long ago my heroes dreams

[00:03:38] Belonged to all God's creatures

[00:03:44] Heaven bless the ones who sleep

[00:03:47] The ones who laugh and the ones who weep

[00:03:52] Heaven bless the ones

[00:03:54] Who keep their bearings strong and certain

[00:04:00] And Lord help the fool who said

[00:04:04] You'd better quit while you're ahead

[00:04:07] A dreamer born is a hero bred

[00:04:11] On earth and up in Heaven

[00:04:16] And Lord help the fool who said

[00:04:20] You'd better quit while you're ahead

[00:04:23] A dreamer born is a hero bred

[00:04:27] On earth and up in Heaven
