[00:00:00] A Long Way Down From Stephanie (2007 Remastered Version) - Al Stewart (阿尔·史蒂伍德)

[00:00:06] Maid truly I see

[00:00:10] Now it must be a long way down

[00:00:16] And with love's burnt shore

[00:00:21] Must all dalliance hither

[00:00:25] Crumble and wither

[00:00:27] Oh strange

[00:00:28] Methought it strange

[00:00:31] Thou couldst deprive me of my crown

[00:00:42] Thou cast upon me as linden bears fruit of bitter strain

[00:00:53] And I would go forsooth to the dragon's tooth

[00:00:59] If thus a chance were gained

[00:01:04] To resurrect that part of your wanton heart

[00:01:09] To whose grave my own is chained

[00:01:14] And hold ere thou dost go

[00:01:19] Were not thy moments gilded too

[00:01:25] And in honesty didst thou not measure for measure

[00:01:34] Countenance pleasure

[00:01:36] Cold wert thou so cold

[00:01:40] Lest thy mind be frozen too

[00:01:46] And will not spring be reborn

[00:01:51] But might the sun for the frost here

[00:01:55] That all be not lost herein

[00:02:02] And I would rather zounds

[00:02:05] It were hell's own hounds

[00:02:08] Whose foul breath upon my face

[00:02:13] Did portent my doom

[00:02:15] Than to bear the gloom

[00:02:18] Of a world stripped of thy grace

[00:02:23] And so in truth I know

[00:02:28] Yes it will be a long way down

[00:02:34] And if go thou must

[00:02:38] Ere we should meet accidental

[00:02:42] Prithee be gentle

[00:02:45] And though distant now

[00:02:48] Perchance the hand of time may soothe

[00:02:54] And though lost at six

[00:02:59] If I should live to be seven I might forget Stephanie
