《Leningrad(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:05] Leningrad -- Billy Joel

[00:00:06] Viktor was born in the spring of '44

[00:00:26] And never saw his father anymore

[00:00:32] A child of sacrifice a child of war

[00:00:40] Another son who never had a father after Leningrad

[00:00:47] Went off to school and learned to serve the state

[00:00:54] Followed the rules and drank his vodka straight

[00:01:01] The only way to live was drown the hate

[00:01:07] A Russian life was very sad and such was life in Leningrad

[00:01:15] I was born in '49

[00:01:21] A cold war kid in McCarthy time

[00:01:25] Stop 'em at the 38th Parallel

[00:01:28] Blast those yellow reds to hell

[00:01:32] And cold war kids were hard to kill

[00:01:36] Under their desk in an air raid drill

[00:01:39] Haven't they heard we won the war

[00:01:42] What do they keep on fighting for

[00:01:46] Viktor was sent to some Red Army town

[00:01:55] Served out his time became a circus clown

[00:02:02] The greatest happiness he'd ever found

[00:02:08] Was making Russian children glad and children lived in Leningrad

[00:02:16] But children lived in Levittown

[00:02:22] And hid in the shelters underground

[00:02:25] Until the Soviets turned their ships around

[00:02:29] Tore the Cuban missiles down

[00:02:32] And in that bright October sun

[00:02:36] We knew our childhood days were done

[00:02:39] And I watched my friends go off to war

[00:02:43] What do they keep on fighting for

[00:02:46] So my child and I came to this place

[00:02:55] To meet him eye to eye and face to face

[00:03:02] He made my daughter laugh then we embraced

[00:03:08] We never knew what friends we had until we came to Leningrad
