《The Dreaming Road》歌词

[00:00:00] The Dreaming Road - Mary Chapin Carpenter

[00:00:20] The stars are out tonight the breeze is warm and light

[00:00:25] As I'm walking right back to you

[00:00:30] Along the dreaming road the only way to go

[00:00:35] When I'm travelling by our code that north is true

[00:00:41] Once upon a time these same bright stars did shine

[00:00:47] Down the center line leading here

[00:00:52] Nearly thirty years ago now the map is stained and old

[00:00:58] But on the dreaming road the coast is clear

[00:01:03] I loved you more than life and I guess that's why I died

[00:01:14] When you would not love me back I couldn't survive

[00:01:25] And so the girl I was turned into someone else

[00:01:30] Keeping to myself and from the light

[00:01:35] I wasn't odd or strange just quietly rearranged

[00:01:41] Sometimes the biggest change stays out of sight

[00:01:57] So without plot or clue I ran away from you

[00:02:02] I was twenty-two and drunk in Amsterdam

[00:02:07] Got robbed in Paris France got home on one last chance

[00:02:13] And without a backward glance I began again

[00:02:18] And the days just kept on rolling and I just kept on going

[00:02:24] Without a thought of ever slowing down

[00:02:29] I made this long road mine but it was not the dreaming kind

[00:02:35] Too many lost souls trying to get found

[00:02:40] But beneath this ancient sky one night we did collide

[00:02:51] And the hole I thought was scaled opened wide

[00:03:02] I tried so hard again not to fall back in

[00:03:08] But you had me then by the throat

[00:03:12] And a strange futility came washing over me

[00:03:18] Almost peacefully I felt the rope

[00:03:54] A million miles goes by in the blink of an eye

[00:03:59] And so I cannot try to slow time down

[00:04:04] And years are made of sand slipping through my hands

[00:04:10] Even faster than the speed of sound

[00:04:15] The stars are out tonight the breeze is soft and light

[00:04:21] As I'm walking right back to you

[00:04:26] With nothing left to hide the tears have all been cried

[00:04:32] And the girl who died is walking too

[00:04:37] Down the dreaming road where the light is always gold

[00:04:43] The air is never cold and always fine

[00:04:48] And north is always true and you are always you

[00:04:54] And I'm that girl you knew once upon a time
