《Night Mail(Ben Gomori Redux Radio Edit)》歌词

[00:03:42] Alright boys, stand clear

[00:03:42] 8:30 pm, Weekdays and Sundays

[00:03:42] The down Postal Special leaves Euston for Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen

[00:03:42] The Postal Special is a fast express, but it carries no passengers

[00:03:42] Half a million letters are sorted and picked up or dropped during the night

[00:03:42] This is the Night Mail crossing the border

[00:03:42] Bringing the cheque and the postal order

[00:03:42] Letters for the rich, letters for the poor

[00:03:42] The shop at the corner and the girl next door

[00:03:42] Five hundred million letters every year

[00:03:42] Trains from Bristol, Cardiff, Manchester, Stoke, Liverpool and Birmingham bring a thousand bags of mail to the north

[00:03:42] This is the Night Mail crossing the border

[00:03:42] Bringing the cheque and the postal order

[00:03:42] Letters for the rich, letters for the poor

[00:03:42] The shop at the corner and the girl next door

[00:03:42] Pulling up Beattock, a steady climb

[00:03:42] The gradient's against her, but she's on time

[00:03:42] This is the Night Mail crossing the border

[00:03:42] Bringing the cheque and the postal order

[00:03:42] Letters for the rich, letters for the poor

[00:03:42] The shop at the corner and the girl next door

[00:03:42] Pulling up Beattock, a steady climb

[00:03:42] The gradient's against her, but she's on time

[00:03:42] Past cotton-grass and moorland boulder

[00:03:42] Shovelling white steam over her shoulder

[00:03:42] Snorting noisily as she passes

[00:03:42] Silent miles of wind-bent grasses

[00:03:42] Birds turn their heads as she approaches

[00:03:42] Stare from the bushes at her blank-faced coaches

[00:03:42] This is the Night Mail crossing the border

[00:03:42] Bringing the cheque and the postal order

[00:03:42] Letters for the rich, letters for the poor

[00:03:42] The shop at the corner and the girl next door

[00:03:42] Pulling up Beattock, a steady climb

[00:03:42] The gradient's against her, but she's on time

[00:03:42] She鈥檚 on time

[00:03:42] She鈥檚 on time
