《The Lovers》歌词

[00:00:00] The Lovers - Rod McKuen

[00:00:21] Up from the pastures of boredom

[00:00:25] Out from the sea of discontent

[00:00:29] They come in packs like hungry hounds

[00:00:35] The seekers of the dark enchantment

[00:00:45] They haunt the boulevards and bars

[00:00:50] They pray to wishing wells and stars

[00:00:55] They ride the hurricane of hope

[00:00:57] Not looking back but on they go

[00:01:02] Toward the distance and deceiving

[00:01:07] And all the while they keep believing

[00:01:12] They are special and apart

[00:01:18] The lovers the lovers of the heart the lovers

[00:01:36] And when they pair off two by two

[00:01:41] They feel they are the chosen few

[00:01:46] And though their beds are made of straw

[00:01:49] They feel like velvet in the night

[00:01:53] And so the night is never ending

[00:01:58] It's made of distance and pretending

[00:02:03] Because they're special and apart

[00:02:10] The lovers the lovers of the heart the lovers

[00:02:24] And when love goes away

[00:02:27] And when love goes

[00:02:32] Goodbye

[00:02:37] Catches in their throats like cotton

[00:02:43] Rises in their hearts like rain

[00:02:50] The good times suddenly are all forgotten

[00:03:00] The hunt begins again

[00:03:11] They search the subways and the streets

[00:03:16] Their faces tired like their feet

[00:03:21] Their bodies aching to be warm

[00:03:24] And so they hide behind the moon

[00:03:28] Their loneliness inside them growing

[00:03:33] But they take comfort in just knowing

[00:03:38] That they are special and apart

[00:03:45] The lovers the lovers of the heart the lovers

[00:03:58] And when love comes again

[00:04:02] And when love comes

[00:04:06] Hello

[00:04:11] Rises from their throats like singing

[00:04:17] Catches in their hearts like wind

[00:04:23] The good things

[00:04:27] Strangers in their arms are bringing

[00:04:33] Makes life all right again

[00:04:45] They turn their faces to the light

[00:04:50] No longer hiding in the night

[00:04:55] So unashamed and unafraid

[00:04:58] That they can face each others faults

[00:05:02] And though the waltz will have its ending

[00:05:07] There is no harm in just pretending

[00:05:12] That they are special and apart

[00:05:18] The lovers the lovers of the heart the lovers
