《Palinurus(Castaway)》歌词

[00:00:00] Palinurus (Castaway) (2006 Digital Remaster) - Peter Hammill

[00:00:26] Oh I'm looking for a white note*

[00:00:31] To consolidate the key

[00:00:36] Like the pilot of a night boat

[00:00:40] In a strange uncharted sea:

[00:00:45] Palinurus

[00:00:46] As unsure as he can be of his direction

[00:00:54] Hell this section's all Greek to me

[00:00:59] There's so much I had to mention

[00:01:03] But it seems to slip my mind;

[00:01:07] Still I swear that my intentions

[00:01:10] Never left my hopes behind

[00:01:14] Like the captain who's been trapped

[00:01:17] In the blind eye of the whirlwind

[00:01:23] So he turns in search of the divine

[00:01:29] I've got no answers either

[00:01:32] I've got some stories on lucky days

[00:01:36] All the sea-lanes are crowded with people like us:

[00:01:49] Castaways

[00:02:41] From soprano through to basso

[00:02:45] My voice so strains to tell

[00:02:49] But I'm lost in the Sargasso

[00:02:52] Of ideas that didn't gel by a fraction

[00:02:58] So the action is dispelled

[00:03:02] Me I've got dull reactions

[00:03:06] Protraction of doubt as well

[00:03:10] So it's no more abide with me

[00:03:12] Over the side with me

[00:03:14] Well I know that damn well

[00:03:18] Oh this hump-back of emotion

[00:03:23] It all seems to go so fast:

[00:03:29] One moment Prince of the Ocean

[00:03:34] And the next upon the raft
