《Can Utility and the Coastliners》歌词

[00:00:00] Can Utility and the Coastliners - Steve Hackett

[00:00:09] The scattered pages of a book by the sea

[00:00:16] Held by the sand washed by the waves

[00:00:20] A shadow forms cast by a cloud

[00:00:27] Skimming by as eyes of the past

[00:00:33] But the rising tide

[00:00:35] Absorbs them effortlessly claiming

[00:00:40] They told of one who tired of all singing

[00:00:44] Praise him praise him

[00:00:48] We heed not flatterers he cried

[00:00:52] By our command waters retreat

[00:00:58] Show my power halt at my feet

[00:01:04] But the cause was lost

[00:01:06] Now cold winds blow

[00:01:10] Far from the north overcast ranks advance

[00:01:17] Fear of the storm accusing with rage and scorn

[00:01:23] The waves surround the sinking throne

[00:01:27] Singing crown him crown him

[00:01:31] Those who love our majesty show themselves

[00:01:41] All bent their knee

[00:03:15] But he forced a smile even though

[00:03:17] His hopes lay dashed where offerings fell

[00:03:25] Waitting feel

[00:04:59] Nothing can my peace destroy

[00:05:04] As long as no one smiles

[00:05:09] More opened ears and opened eyes

[00:05:14] And soon they dared to laugh

[00:05:32] See a little man with his face turning red

[00:05:34] Though his story's often

[00:05:35] Told you can tell he's dead
