《Long Way Back Home》歌词

[00:00:00] Long Way Back Home (漫漫归程) - Gordon Lightfoot

[00:00:00] Written by：Gordon Lightfoot

[00:00:08] From the railhead to the boatyard

[00:00:12] From the factory to the farm

[00:00:16] From the mines to the millhouse

[00:00:19] I've weathered the storm

[00:00:23] From the bar room to the bedpost

[00:00:27] I've wasted my days

[00:00:30] All I have is my drink

[00:00:32] And the time left to think

[00:00:34] While time slips away

[00:00:38] Just look at my face

[00:00:41] When you tell me goodbye

[00:00:45] You'll see what I'm after

[00:00:48] By the look in my eye

[00:00:52] Just walk away

[00:00:56] And leave me alone

[00:01:00] It's a long way back home

[00:01:03] Now in case you should ask me

[00:01:07] What it is that I've done

[00:01:11] I say I'm a soldier

[00:01:14] Who once had a son

[00:01:18] But my son doesn't know me

[00:01:22] That's his right to choose

[00:01:25] Oh say can you see

[00:01:27] My best friend is me

[00:01:29] I'm a friend I can use

[00:01:33] Just look at my face

[00:01:37] When you tell me goodbye

[00:01:40] You'll see what I'm after

[00:01:44] By the look in my eye

[00:01:48] Just walk away

[00:01:51] And leave me alone

[00:01:55] It's a long way back home

[00:01:59] Now the pages have faded

[00:02:02] The story grows cold

[00:02:06] And the plot falls to ashes

[00:02:10] Like the ruins of old

[00:02:13] Those rats in my rafters

[00:02:17] They're after my shoes

[00:02:21] And anything else

[00:02:23] They can find on the shelf

[00:02:25] I've said they could use

[00:02:28] Just look at my face

[00:02:32] When you tell me goodbye

[00:02:36] You'll see what I'm after

[00:02:39] By the look in my eye

[00:02:43] Just walk away

[00:02:47] And leave me alone

[00:02:51] It's a long way back home

[00:02:54] It's a long way back home
