《River of Tears》歌词

[00:00:00] River Of Tears (泪流成河) - Ian Hunter

[00:00:22] I'm waiting on an elevator

[00:00:26] In a hotel out in California

[00:00:31] Smog clouds up the windows

[00:00:34] But there is a plaque up on the wall

[00:00:38] That tells of the agoras

[00:00:43] People who were here long before us

[00:00:47] Before the covered wagons

[00:00:51] Before they lost it all

[00:00:55] They were hunters

[00:00:56] They were fishermen and they often

[00:01:00] Fought each other

[00:01:03] But one small tribe was different

[00:01:07] Their leader was a peaceful man

[00:01:10] They were weavers

[00:01:13] They were painters

[00:01:15] Trading pelts for pretty colours

[00:01:19] Protected by the warriors for

[00:01:23] The beauty in their hands

[00:01:26] Roll back the years

[00:01:30] Roll back the years to the river of tears

[00:01:43] Of the chief he had a daughter

[00:01:47] She was young and she was beautiful

[00:01:51] He said go into the forest

[00:01:55] Get some berries for the dye

[00:01:59] But make your way back quickly

[00:02:03] For the old bear's getting hungry

[00:02:08] I don't want you out there

[00:02:11] When the sun falls from the sky

[00:02:16] Her basket filled with berries

[00:02:19] She headed back toward the village

[00:02:24] When a mighty roar erupted

[00:02:27] She ran and hid inside a hollow tree

[00:02:31] And the shadows were getting longer

[00:02:36] And the forest was getting colder

[00:02:40] And the chief began to panic

[00:02:44] Where could his daughter be

[00:02:47] Lost in the years yeah lost in the years

[00:02:55] On the river of tears

[00:03:12] In the camp the fires were dying when

[00:03:16] The old chief started crying

[00:03:20] Soon all the tribe were crying

[00:03:24] And the ground grew wet beneath their feet

[00:03:28] And the tears they turned to water

[00:03:32] And the water became a river

[00:03:36] And the river flowed like an arrow

[00:03:40] To the foot of a hollow tree

[00:03:44] And the girl looked out in wonder

[00:03:48] As she saw the water falling

[00:03:52] She knew it was her father and

[00:03:56] She swam to his canoe

[00:04:00] And all the tribe stopped crying

[00:04:04] And the river started subsiding

[00:04:08] Into the hill of the agoras

[00:04:12] And so the legend grew

[00:04:16] Roll back the years

[00:04:20] Roll back the years

[00:04:24] Roll back the years

[00:04:28] Roll back the years

[00:04:30] Ahh

[00:04:31] To the river of tears

[00:04:54] I wish all the world was healing

[00:05:03] I wish all the world was healing

[00:05:11] I wish all the world was healing

[00:05:19] I wish all the world was healing
