《Closet Chronicles(Live 1977-1978)》歌词

[00:00:02] Kansas - Closet Chronicles

[00:00:25] Once carried through the current and being swept away

[00:00:31] The king is in his closet he's hiding from today

[00:00:37] And though he owns all fortunes this room is where he'll stay

[00:00:42] And his world is filled with darkness turning grey

[00:00:49] Gazing out the window of the forty-second floor

[00:00:54] He is separate from all others no one knocks upon his door

[00:01:00] And it might as well be raining 'cause the sunlight hurts his eyes

[00:01:06] And his ears will never hear the children's cries

[00:01:12] Once proud and full of passion he fought the cause of man

[00:01:17] Many people loved his courage many followed his command

[00:01:23] He changed the old into the new and the course of things to come

[00:01:29] And then one day they noticed he was gone

[00:01:34] At first it didn't matter nobody seemed to care

[00:01:40] They all became too busy to find him anywhere

[00:01:46] But no one knew not even him the problems he would find

[00:01:52] On the day he journeyed deep into his mind

[00:01:58] I close my eyes I go far away

[00:02:01] Away from this battlefield

[00:02:04] In my dreams well

[00:02:07] Here I will enjoy it

[00:02:09] Where innocence plays with all

[00:02:11] The laughing children

[00:02:16] The kind who are crying right now

[00:02:22] A taste of freedom from the pain

[00:02:24] Of everything here I see

[00:02:27] Life is sweet but I took it all for granted

[00:02:33] And now I don't know if I could even tell you

[00:02:39] Just what we permit we allow

[00:02:45] Allow me to forget the life I've made my own

[00:02:50] I've held this nation in my hand and yet it's not my home

[00:02:55] Oh allow me just one answer and one reason why

[00:03:01] Why this refugee of the family of man must die

[00:03:06] Tell me why

[00:05:23] Daydreams filled his nighttimes and night-dreams filled his days

[00:05:28] Confusion and uncertainty a puzzled mind of haze

[00:05:33] You thought he was so powerful and set upon his ways

[00:05:39] Well he left us all to follow through this maze

[00:05:44] I heard the king was dying I heard the king was dead

[00:05:49] And with him died the chronicles that no one ever read

[00:05:55] The closet's fully empty now it's occupied by none

[00:06:01] I'll draw the drapes now destiny is done
