[00:00:00] Ballad Of The Runaway Horse - Jennifer Warnes (珍尼弗·温拿斯)/Rob Wasserman

[00:00:00] Written by：Leonard Cohen/Elliot Mazer

[00:00:00] Say a prayer for the cowgirl her horse ran away

[00:00:06] She'll walk 'til she finds him her darlin' her stray

[00:00:12] But the river's in flood and the roads are awash

[00:00:17] And the bridges break up in the panic of loss

[00:00:28] And there's nothin' to follow nowhere to go

[00:00:34] He's gone like the summer gone like the snow

[00:00:39] And the crickets are breaking her heart with their song

[00:00:45] As the day caves in and the night is all wrong

[00:00:56] Did she dream was it he who went galloping past

[00:01:02] And bent down the fern broke open the grass

[00:01:08] And printed the mud with the well hammered shoes

[00:01:13] That she nailed to his speed in the dreams of her youth

[00:01:24] And although he goes grazing a minute away

[00:01:30] She tracks him all night she tracks him all day

[00:01:35] Blind to his presence except to compare

[00:01:41] Her injury here with his punishment there

[00:01:51] Then at home on a branch on a high stream

[00:01:58] A songbird sings out so suddenly

[00:02:03] And the sun is warm and the soft winds ride

[00:02:09] On a willow tree

[00:02:13] By the riverside

[00:02:20] Ah the world is sweet and world is wide

[00:02:25] And he's there where the light and the darkness divide

[00:02:31] And the steam's comin' off him he's huge and he's shy

[00:02:37] And he steps on the moon when he paws at the sky

[00:02:48] And he comes to her hand but he's nor really tame

[00:02:53] He longs to be lost she longs for the same

[00:02:59] And he'll bolt and he'll plunge thru' the first open pass

[00:03:05] To roll and to feed in the sweet mountain grass

[00:03:15] Or he'll make a break for the high plateau

[00:03:21] Where there's nothing above or nothing below

[00:03:27] It's time for their burden the whip and the spur

[00:03:33] Will she ride with him or will he ride with her

[00:03:43] So she binds herself to her galloping steed

[00:03:49] And he binds himself to the woman in need

[00:03:55] And there is no space just left and right

[00:04:00] And there is no time but there is day and night

[00:04:11] Then she leans on his neck and whispers low

[00:04:18] Whither thou goest I will go

[00:04:22] And they turn as one and they head for the plain

[00:04:28] No need for the whip oh no need for the rain

[00:04:40] Now the clasp of this union who fastens it tight

[00:04:45] Who snaps it asunder the very next night

[00:04:51] Some say it's him some say it's her

[00:04:56] Some say love's like smoke beyond all repair

[00:05:07] So my darlin' my darlin' just let it go by

[00:05:13] That old silhouette on the great western sky

[00:05:18] And I'll pick out a tune and they'll move right along

[00:05:24] And they're gone like smoke and they're gone like this song

[00:05:35] Ohh lalala ohh la rararaha rarirah

[00:05:56] Ohhohhooo rarara tararirara ah

[00:06:13] Tararororo ohhooooo ohhoohoo

[00:06:30] Tararirara tarararara
