《The Ballad Of St. Anne’s Reel》歌词

[00:00:00] The Ballad Of St. Anne's Reel - John Denver (约翰·丹佛)

[00:00:07] He was stranded in some tiny town on fair Prince Edward Isle

[00:00:11] Awaiting for a ship to come and find him

[00:00:16] A one-horse place a friendly face some coffee and a tiny trace

[00:00:20] Of fiddling in the distance far behind him

[00:00:25] A dime across the counter then a shy hello a brand new friend

[00:00:29] A walk along the street in the wintry weather

[00:00:33] A yellow light an open door a welcome friend there's room for more

[00:00:37] And then they're standing there inside together

[00:00:41] He said I've heard that tune before somewhere but I can't remember when

[00:00:46] Was it on some other friendly shore or did I hear it on the wind

[00:00:50] Was it written on the sky above I think I heard it from someone I love

[00:00:55] But I never heard it sound so sweet since then

[00:01:18] Now his feet begin to tap a little boy says I'll take your hat

[00:01:22] He's caught up in the magic of her smile

[00:01:27] And leap the heart inside him went and off across the floor he sent

[00:01:31] His clumsy body graceful as a child

[00:01:35] He said there's magic in the fiddler's arm there's magic in this town

[00:01:39] There's magic in the dancers' feet and the way they put them down

[00:01:44] People smiling everywhere boots and ribbons locks of hair

[00:01:48] And laughter and old blue suits and Easter gowns

[00:02:11] Now the sailor's gone the room is bare the old piano's sitting there

[00:02:16] Someone's hat's left hanging on the rack

[00:02:20] And empty chairs the wooden floor that feels the touch of shoes no more

[00:02:24] Awaiting for the dancers to come back

[00:02:28] And the fiddle's in the closet of some daughter of the town

[00:02:33] The strings are broke and the bow is gone and the cover's buttoned down

[00:02:37] But sometimes on December nights when the air is cold and the wind is right

[00:02:42] There's a melody that passes through this town
