《Black Diamond Bay》歌词

[00:00:00] Black Diamond Bay - Bob Dylan (鲍勃·迪伦)

[00:00:01] Written by：Bob Dylan/Jacques Levy

[00:00:48] Up on the white veranda

[00:00:50] She wears a necktie and a panama hat

[00:00:58] Her passport shows a face

[00:01:00] From another time and place

[00:01:02] She looks nothin' like that

[00:01:08] And all of the remnants of her recent past

[00:01:12] Are scattered in the wild wind

[00:01:15] She walks across the marble floor

[00:01:17] Where a voice from the gambling room is callin' her

[00:01:20] To come on in

[00:01:22] She smiles walks the other way

[00:01:27] As the last ship sails and the moon fades away

[00:01:32] From black diamond bay

[00:01:37] As the mornin' light breaks open the greek comes down

[00:01:41] And he asks for a rope and a pen that

[00:01:43] Will write

[00:01:47] Pardon monsieur the desk clerk says

[00:01:50] Carefully removes his fez

[00:01:52] Am I hearin' you right

[00:01:57] And as the yellow fog is liftin'

[00:01:59] The greek is quickly headin' for the second floor

[00:02:04] She passes him on the spiral staircase

[00:02:07] Thinkin' he's the soviet ambassador

[00:02:12] She starts to speak but he walks away

[00:02:17] As the storm clouds rise and the palm branches sway

[00:02:22] On black diamond bay

[00:02:27] A soldier sits beneath the fan

[00:02:29] Doin' business with a tiny man who sells him a

[00:02:33] Ring

[00:02:37] Lightning strikes the lights blow out

[00:02:40] The desk clerk wakes she begins to shout

[00:02:42] Can you see anything

[00:02:47] Then the Greek appears on the second floor

[00:02:49] In his bare feet with a rope around his neck

[00:02:55] While a loser in the gambling room lights up a

[00:02:58] Candle

[00:02:59] Says open up another deck

[00:03:02] But the dealer says attendez vous s'il vous plait

[00:03:07] As the rain beats down and the cranes fly away

[00:03:12] From black diamond bay

[00:03:17] The desk clerk heard the woman laugh

[00:03:19] As he looked around than the aftermath and the soldier got

[00:03:23] Tough

[00:03:26] He tried to grab the woman's hand

[00:03:29] Said here's a ring it cost a grand

[00:03:31] She said that ain't enough

[00:03:36] Then she ran upstairs to pack her bags

[00:03:39] While a horse drawn taxi waited at the curb

[00:03:44] She passed the door that the Greek had locked

[00:03:46] Where a handwritten sign read do not disturb

[00:03:51] She knocked upon it anyway

[00:03:56] As the sun went down and the music did play

[00:04:01] On black diamond bay

[00:04:06] I've got to talk to someone quick

[00:04:09] But the Greek said go away and he kicked the

[00:04:11] Chair to the floor

[00:04:16] He hung there from the chandelier

[00:04:18] She cried a help there's danger near

[00:04:21] Please open up at the door

[00:04:26] Then the volcano erupted

[00:04:28] And the lava flowed down from the mountain high above

[00:04:33] The soldier and the tiny man were crouched in the

[00:04:37] Corner

[00:04:38] Thinking of forbidden love

[00:04:41] The desk clerk said it happens every day

[00:04:45] As the stars fell down and the fields burned away

[00:04:50] On black diamond bay

[00:04:56] As the island slowly sank

[00:04:58] The loser finally broke the bank in the gambling room

[00:05:05] The dealer said it's too late now

[00:05:08] You can take your money but I don't know how

[00:05:10] You'll spend it in the tomb

[00:05:15] The tiny man bit the soldier's ear

[00:05:17] As the floor caved in and the boiler in the

[00:05:21] Basement blew

[00:05:23] Well she's out on the balcony where a stranger tells

[00:05:27] Her

[00:05:27] My darling je vous aime beaucoup

[00:05:30] She sheds a tear and then begins to pray

[00:05:35] As the fire burns on and the smoke drifts away

[00:05:40] From black diamond bay

[00:05:45] I was sittin' home alone one night in L A

[00:05:48] Watchin' old cronkite on the seven o'clock news

[00:05:55] It seems there was an earthquake that

[00:05:57] Left nothin' but a panama hat

[00:05:59] And a pair of old greek shoes

[00:06:04] Didn't seem like much was happenin'

[00:06:07] So I turned it off and went to grab another

[00:06:10] Beer

[00:06:12] Seems like every time you turn around

[00:06:14] There's another hard luck story that you're gonna' hear

[00:06:19] And there's really nothin' anyone can say

[00:06:24] And I never did plan to go anyway

[00:06:29] To black diamond bay
