《Isle Of Hope Isle Of Tears》歌词

[00:00:00] Isle Of Hope Isle Of Tears - Ronan Tynan

[00:00:15] On the first day of January

[00:00:19] Eighteen ninety-two

[00:00:22] They opened Ellis Island and they let

[00:00:26] The people through

[00:00:29] And first to cross the threshold

[00:00:32] Of that isle of hope and tears

[00:00:36] Was Annie Moore from Ireland

[00:00:39] Who was all of fifteen years

[00:00:44] Isle of hope isle of tears

[00:00:47] Isle of freedom isle of fears

[00:00:51] But it's not the isle you left behind

[00:00:57] That isle of hunger isle of pain

[00:01:01] Isle you'll never see again

[00:01:05] But the isle of home is always on your mind

[00:01:21] In a little bag she carried

[00:01:25] All her past and history

[00:01:28] And her dreams for the future

[00:01:31] In the land of liberty

[00:01:35] And courage is the passport

[00:01:38] When your old world disappears

[00:01:42] But there's no future in the past

[00:01:45] When you're fifteen years

[00:01:49] Isle of hope isle of tears

[00:01:52] Isle of freedom isle of fears

[00:01:56] But it's not the isle you left behind

[00:02:02] That isle of hunger isle of pain

[00:02:06] Isle you'll never see again

[00:02:10] But the isle of home is always on your mind

[00:02:27] When they closed down Ellis Island

[00:02:32] In nineteen forty-three

[00:02:37] Seventeen million people

[00:02:40] Had come there for sanctuary

[00:02:44] And in springtime when I came here

[00:02:48] And I stepped onto it's piers

[00:02:52] I thought of how it must have been

[00:02:56] When you're fifteen years

[00:03:01] Isle of hope isle of tears

[00:03:04] Isle of freedom isle of fears

[00:03:08] But it's not the isle you left behind

[00:03:14] That isle of hunger isle of pain

[00:03:17] Isle you'll never see again

[00:03:21] But the isle of home is always on your mind

[00:03:27] Isle of hope isle of tears

[00:03:30] Isle of freedom isle of fears

[00:03:34] But it's not the isle you left behind

[00:03:40] That isle of hunger isle of pain

[00:03:44] Isle you'll never see again

[00:03:48] But the isle of home is always on your mind

[00:03:55] The isle of home is always on your mind
