《Far Side of the World》歌词

[00:00:00] Far Side of the World - Ameritz Tribute Club (Ameritz翻唱俱乐部)

[00:00:21] Ramadan is over

[00:00:24] The new moon's shown her face

[00:00:26] I'm halfway round the planet

[00:00:28] In a most unlikely place

[00:00:31] Following my song line

[00:00:33] Past bamboo shacks and shops

[00:00:36] Behind a jitney packed like sardines

[00:00:38] With bananas piled on top

[00:00:42] I ran away from politics

[00:00:45] It's too bizarre at home

[00:00:47] Away I flew tuned into Blue

[00:00:49] "Maybe Amsterdam or Rome"

[00:00:52] Awakened by a stewardess

[00:00:55] With Spain somewhere below

[00:00:57] On the threshold of adventure

[00:00:59] God I do love this job so

[00:01:03] So while I make my move

[00:01:06] On the big board game

[00:01:08] Up and down a Spanish highway

[00:01:11] Some things remain the same

[00:01:14] Girls meet boys

[00:01:16] And the boys tease girls

[00:01:20] I'm heading out this morning

[00:01:22] For the Far Side of the World

[00:01:34] Oh I believe in song lines

[00:01:37] Obvious and not

[00:01:39] I'd ridden them like camels

[00:01:41] To some most peculiar spots

[00:01:44] They run across the oceans

[00:01:47] Through mountains and saloons

[00:01:49] And tonight out to the dessert

[00:01:51] Where I sit atop this dune

[00:01:55] I was destined for this vantage point

[00:01:58] Which is so far from the Sea

[00:02:00] I've lived it in the pages of Saint-Exupery

[00:02:05] From Paris to Tunisia

[00:02:08] Casablanca to Dakar

[00:02:10] I was riding long before I flew

[00:02:13] Through the wind and sand and stars

[00:02:17] Caravan

[00:02:20] Ride that hump

[00:02:22] And Timbuktu's a jillion bumps

[00:02:27] Sleeping bags and battle flags

[00:02:29] Are coiled and furled

[00:02:33] That's the way you travel

[00:02:35] To the far side of the world

[00:03:00] A Sunset framed by lightening bolts

[00:03:02] Burns a lasting memory

[00:03:05] And a string of tiny twinkling lights

[00:03:07] Adorn the sausage tree

[00:03:10] While the embers from the log fire

[00:03:12] Flicker fly and twirl

[00:03:15] Then drift off toward the cosmos

[00:03:17] From the Far Side of the World

[00:03:21] Well it's Christmas and my birthday

[00:03:24] And so to that extent

[00:03:26] The Masai not the wise men

[00:03:28] Are circling my tent

[00:03:31] I teach them how to play guitar

[00:03:34] They show me how to dance

[00:03:36] We have rum from the Caribbean

[00:03:39] And Burgundy from France

[00:03:43] New Year's Eve in Zanzibar

[00:03:45] With Babu and his boys

[00:03:48] High up on the rooftop

[00:03:50] You can relish all the noise

[00:03:53] They are dancing on the tables

[00:03:55] People bouncing like gazelles

[00:03:58] Two 0-0-1 is ushered in

[00:04:00] With air raid horns and bells

[00:04:04] Time to sing time to dance

[00:04:09] Living out my second chance

[00:04:14] Cobras and sleeping bags are coiled and curled

[00:04:21] That's the way it happens

[00:04:23] On the Far Side of the World

[00:04:35] Back at home it's afternoon

[00:04:37] Six thousand miles away

[00:04:39] I will still be there when I get through

[00:04:42] Attending this soiree

[00:04:44] There are jobs and chores and questions

[00:04:47] And plates I need to twirl

[00:04:49] But tonight I'll take my chances

[00:04:52] On the Far Side of the World

[00:04:55] That's the way it happens

[00:04:57] On the Far Side of the World
