《Race Among The Ruins(1988 Version)》歌词

[00:00:01] Race Among The Ruins (LP Version) - Gordon Lightfoot

[00:00:10] You think you had the last laugh

[00:00:13] Now you know this can’t be true

[00:00:15] Even though the sun

[00:00:16] Shines down upon you now

[00:00:18] Sometimes you must feel blue

[00:00:23] You make the best of each new day

[00:00:25] You try not to be sad

[00:00:27] Even though the sky falls down upon you

[00:00:30] Call it midnight feelin’ bad

[00:00:35] When you wake up to the promise

[00:00:37] Of your dream world comin’ true

[00:00:40] With one less friend to call on

[00:00:42] Was it someone that I knew

[00:00:47] Away you will go sailin’

[00:00:49] In a race among the ruins

[00:00:52] If you plan to face tomorrow

[00:00:55] Do it soon

[00:01:03] The road to love is littered

[00:01:05] By the bones of other ones

[00:01:08] Who by the magic of the moment

[00:01:11] Were mysteriously undone

[00:01:16] You try to understand it

[00:01:17] But you never seem to find

[00:01:20] Any kind of freedom comin’ clean

[00:01:23] Is just another state of mind

[00:01:27] When you wake up to the promise

[00:01:30] Of your dream world comin’ true

[00:01:33] With one less friend to call on

[00:01:35] Was it someone that I knew

[00:01:39] Away you will go sailin’

[00:01:40] In a race among the ruins

[00:01:44] If you plan to face tomorrow

[00:01:46] Do it soon

[00:01:55] So take the best of all that’s left

[00:01:57] You know this cannot last

[00:01:59] Even though your mother was you maker

[00:02:02] From her apron strings you pass

[00:02:07] Just think about the fool

[00:02:09] Who by his virtue can be found

[00:02:12] In a most unusual situation

[00:02:15] Playin’ jester to the clown

[00:02:19] When you wake up to the promise

[00:02:21] Of your dream world comin’ true

[00:02:24] With one less friend to call on

[00:02:27] Was it someone that I knew

[00:02:31] Away you will go sailin’

[00:02:33] In a race among the ruins

[00:02:37] If you plan to face tomorrow

[00:02:39] Do it soon

[00:02:45] When you wake up to the promise

[00:02:47] Of your dream world comin’ true

[00:02:50] With one less friend to call on

[00:02:53] Was it someone that I knew

[00:02:56] Away you will go sailin’

[00:02:58] In a race among the ruins

[00:03:01] If you plan to face tomorrow

[00:03:03] Do it soon
