[00:00:00] Ballad Of A Runaway Horse (2007 Remastered Album Version) - Emmylou Harris (爱美萝·哈里斯)

[00:00:04] Say a prayer for the cowgirl her horse ran away

[00:00:10] She'll walk 'til she finds him her darlin' her stray

[00:00:15] But the river's in flood and the roads are awash

[00:00:21] And the bridges break up in the panic of loss

[00:00:31] And there's nothin' to follow nowhere to go

[00:00:36] He's gone like the summer gone like the snow

[00:00:41] And the crickets are breaking her heart with their song

[00:00:46] As the day caves in and the night is all wrong

[00:00:57] Did she dream it was he who went galloping past

[00:01:02] And bent down the fern broke open the grass

[00:01:07] And printed the mud with the well hammered shoe

[00:01:12] That she nailed to his speed in the dreams of her youth

[00:01:22] And although he goes grazin' a minute away

[00:01:28] She tracks him all night she tracks him all day

[00:01:33] And she's blind to his presence except to compare

[00:01:38] Her injury here with his punishment there

[00:01:49] Then at home on a branch on a high stream

[00:01:54] A songbird sings out so suddenly

[00:01:59] And the sun is warm and the soft winds ride

[00:02:04] On a willow tree by the riverside

[00:02:14] An the world is sweet and world is wide

[00:02:19] And he's there where the light and the darkness divide

[00:02:25] And the steam's comin' off him he's huge and he's shy

[00:02:30] And he steps on the moon when he paws at the sky

[00:02:40] And he comes to her hand but he's nor really tame

[00:02:45] He longs to be lost she longs for the same

[00:02:51] And he'll bolt and he'll plunge thru the first open pass

[00:02:56] To roll and to feed in the sweet mountain grass

[00:03:06] Or he'll make a break for the high plateau

[00:03:12] Where there's nothing above and noting below

[00:03:17] It's time for their burden the whip and the spur

[00:03:22] Will she ride with him if we are

[00:03:26] Or will he ride with her

[00:03:32] So she binds herself to her galloping steed

[00:03:38] And he binds himself to the woman in need

[00:03:42] And there is no space just left and right

[00:03:48] And there is no time but there is day and night

[00:03:58] Then she learns on his neck and whispers low

[00:04:04] Whither thou goest I will go

[00:04:08] And they turn as one

[00:04:11] And they head for the plain

[00:04:13] No need for the whip oh no need for the rain

[00:04:24] Now the clasp of this union who fastens it tight

[00:04:29] Who snaps it asunder the very next night

[00:04:35] Some say it's him some say it's her

[00:04:39] Some say love's like smoke beyond all repair

[00:04:50] So my darlin' my darlin' just let go by

[00:04:55] That old silhouette on the great western sky

[00:05:01] And I'll pick out a tune and they'll move right along

[00:05:06] And they're gone like smoke

[00:05:10] And they're gone like this song

[00:05:16] Say a prayer for the cowgirl
