《The Golden Salamander》歌词

[00:00:00] The Golden Salamander - The Strawbs

[00:00:34] The bird had silver wings my friends

[00:00:38] And reached out for the sky

[00:00:42] She found her wings were broken

[00:00:46] She had lost her right to fly

[00:00:51] The pink eyed salamander

[00:00:55] Changed her colours for the day

[00:00:59] She changed from white to purest gold

[00:01:04] And left the stag at bay

[00:01:08] Now I am but a poor man

[00:01:12] In the apple blossom state

[00:01:17] I choose to fly where'er I please

[00:01:21] The stag must needs a mate

[00:01:25] My golden salamander

[00:01:29] You must take me as I am

[00:01:34] I cannot change my colours

[00:01:38] I am but a simple man

[00:01:52] The golden salamander

[00:01:55] Had become the rite of spring

[00:02:00] The silver bird made promises

[00:02:04] That scarcely meant a thing

[00:02:09] She told the wicked huntsman

[00:02:12] Where the stag had run to rest

[00:02:17] Now the elderly survivor

[00:02:21] Knew this was not for the best

[00:02:26] She opened up her heart

[00:02:29] And prayed for peace for all mankind

[00:02:34] She asked a fortune teller

[00:02:38] But found out that she was blind

[00:02:43] My golden salamander

[00:02:46] You must take me as I am

[00:02:51] I cannot change my colours

[00:02:55] I am but a simple man

[00:03:17] The clouds were passing over

[00:03:21] There was little sign of rain

[00:03:26] The sun was slowly rising

[00:03:29] From it's slumberdown again

[00:03:34] The stag had run to cover

[00:03:38] In a copse beside the lake

[00:03:43] The huntsman broke the silence

[00:03:47] It's the birds began to wake

[00:03:51] The fortune teller smiled

[00:03:55] As the survivor spoke of fate

[00:04:00] He thanked her for her interest

[00:04:04] But knew it was too late

[00:04:08] My golden salamander

[00:04:12] You must take me as I am

[00:04:17] I cannot change my colours

[00:04:21] I am but a simple man
