《Lord Salisbury》歌词

[00:00:00] Lord Salisbury - Al Stewart

[00:00:04] Lord Salisbury said to me

[00:00:11] "Though we spend our lives in isolation

[00:00:14] Girdled 'round by the Emerald Sea

[00:00:17] No fear shall we know"

[00:00:19] Look away look away look away

[00:00:23] To the lamp-lit square

[00:00:24] At the ebb of May

[00:00:26] Look away look away look away

[00:00:29] For our survival

[00:00:32] Lord Salisbury takes his time

[00:00:35] The government sits in contemplation

[00:00:38] All is ordered and in its prime

[00:00:41] No fear shall we know

[00:00:43] Look away look away look away

[00:00:47] To the fog-bound ship in the icy bay

[00:00:50] Look away look away look away

[00:00:53] For our survival

[00:00:55] On th mantelpiece is a silver clock

[00:00:59] And it counts the hours and they won't turn back

[00:01:02] The evening set and the room forgets

[00:01:05] The day that went before

[00:01:07] And through my window

[00:01:11] Iron wheels on a cobbled mews

[00:01:15] You will know changes soon

[00:01:20] Lord Salisbury reads the news

[00:01:29] And puts the paper on the table

[00:01:33] Many paths will be ours to choose

[00:01:35] No fear shall we know

[00:01:37] Look away look away look away

[00:01:41] To the fleets of steel and the waves of grey

[00:01:44] Look away look away look away

[00:01:47] For our survival

[00:01:50] The Queen is old but she lingers still

[00:02:17] Like the fading ring of a distant bell

[00:02:19] And Oscar Wilde in his prison cell

[00:02:23] Laments a brighter day

[00:02:26] And in some window a red flag flies

[00:02:32] In a meeting room

[00:02:33] You will know changes soon

[00:02:38] Lord Salisbury said to me

[00:02:47] "Though we spend our lives in isolation

[00:02:50] Girdled 'round by the Emerald Sea

[00:02:53] No fear shall we know"

[00:02:55] Look away look away look away

[00:02:59] To the lonesome cry of the modern day

[00:03:02] Look away look away look away

[00:03:05] For our survival
