《The Island》歌词

[00:00:00] The Island - Celtic Thunder

[00:00:09] They say the skies of lebanon are burning

[00:00:14] Those mighty cedars bleedin' in the heat

[00:00:19] They're showing pictures on the television

[00:00:24] Women and children dying in the street

[00:00:31] And we're still at it in our own place

[00:00:35] Still tryin' to reach the future through the past

[00:00:39] Still tryin' to carve tomorrow from a tombstone

[00:00:46] But hey don't listen to me this wasn't meant to be no sad song

[00:00:54] We've heard too much of that before

[00:00:59] Right now I only want to be here with you

[00:01:03] Till the morning dew comes falling and I wanna take you to the island

[00:01:14] Trace your footprints in the sand

[00:01:19] And in the evening when the sun goes down

[00:01:23] We'll make love to the sound of the ocean

[00:01:31] They're raising banners over by the markets

[00:01:36] Whitewashing slogans on the shipyard walls

[00:01:41] Witchdoctors praying for a mighty showdown no way our holy flag is gonna' fall

[00:01:52] Up here we sacrifice our children

[00:01:56] To feed the worn-out dreams of yesterday

[00:02:01] And teach them dying will lead us into glory

[00:02:08] But hey don't listen to me

[00:02:10] Cause' this wasn't meant to be no sad song

[00:02:15] I've sung too much of that before

[00:02:20] Right now I only want to be here with you

[00:02:25] Till the morning dew comes falling

[00:02:31] I wanna take you to the island and trace your footprints in the sand

[00:02:41] And in the evening when there's no one around

[00:02:45] We'll make love to the sound of the ocean

[00:02:53] Now I know us plain folks don't see all the story

[00:02:58] And I know this peace and love's just copping out

[00:03:03] And I guess these young boys dying in the ditches is just what being free is all about

[00:03:13] And how this twisted wreckage down on main street will bring us all together in the end

[00:03:23] And we'll go marching down the road to freedom freedom freedom
