《Sit Down Young Stranger(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] Sit Down Young Stranger - Gordon Lightfoot

[00:00:02] Written by：Gordon Lightfoot

[00:00:05] I'm standin' in the doorway

[00:00:07] My head bowed in my hands

[00:00:10] Not knowin' where to sit

[00:00:12] Not knowin' where I stand

[00:00:16] My father looms above me

[00:00:18] For him there is no rest

[00:00:21] My mother's arms enfold me

[00:00:23] And hold me to her breast

[00:00:27] They say you been out wandrin'

[00:00:29] They say you travelled far

[00:00:32] Sit down young stranger

[00:00:34] And tell us who you are

[00:00:38] The room has all gone misty

[00:00:40] My thoughts are all in spin

[00:00:43] Sit down young stranger

[00:00:45] And tell us where you been

[00:00:49] I've been up to the mountain

[00:00:51] I've walked down by the sea

[00:00:54] I never questioned no one

[00:00:56] And no one questioned me

[00:01:00] My love was given freely

[00:01:02] And oftimes was returned

[00:01:05] I never came to borrow

[00:01:07] I only came to learn

[00:01:11] Sometimes it didn't get lonely

[00:01:13] But it taught me how to cry

[00:01:16] And laughter came too easy

[00:01:18] For life to pass me by

[00:01:22] I never had a dollar

[00:01:24] That I didn't earn with pride

[00:01:27] Cause I had a million daydreams

[00:01:29] To keep me satisfied

[00:01:44] And will you gather daydreams

[00:01:47] Or will you gather wealth

[00:01:49] How can you find your fortune

[00:01:51] When you cannot find yourself

[00:01:55] My mother's eyes grow misty

[00:01:58] There's a tremblin' in her hand

[00:02:00] Sit down young stranger

[00:02:02] I do not understand

[00:02:06] Now will you try to tell us

[00:02:09] You been too long at school

[00:02:11] That knowledge is not needed

[00:02:14] That power does not rule

[00:02:17] That war is not the answer

[00:02:20] That young men should not die

[00:02:22] Sit down young stranger

[00:02:24] I wait for your reply

[00:02:28] The answer is not easy

[00:02:31] For souls are not reborn

[00:02:33] To wear the crown of peace

[00:02:35] You must wear the crown of thorns

[00:02:40] If jesus had a reason

[00:02:42] I'm sure he would not tell

[00:02:44] We treated him so badly

[00:02:47] How could he wish us well

[00:02:51] The parlor now is empty

[00:02:53] There's nothin' left to say

[00:02:56] My father has departed

[00:02:58] My mother's gone to pray

[00:03:02] There's rockets in the meadows

[00:03:04] And ships out on the sea

[00:03:07] The answer's in the forest

[00:03:09] Carved upon a tree

[00:03:13] John loves mary

[00:03:15] Does anyone love me
