《Ode To Big Blue(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] Ode To Big Blue - Gordon Lightfoot

[00:00:09] The oceans of the world

[00:00:10] Were the home of Big Blue

[00:00:17] He was the greatest monster

[00:00:19] That the world ever knew

[00:00:22] And the place that he loved

[00:00:24] Best was the waters to the west

[00:00:30] Around the blue Pacific he did roam

[00:00:37] Big Blue moved alone

[00:00:39] For a mighty blue was he

[00:00:44] And the battles of the whales

[00:00:46] Was an awesome sight to see

[00:00:49] And he took them one by one

[00:00:51] And he drove them all away

[00:00:57] In the mating of the day he was the king

[00:01:10] Big Blue had fifty wives and he sired forty sons

[00:01:18] Though most of them feel victim to

[00:01:20] The cruel harpoon guns

[00:01:23] Ah but he was too much wise to

[00:01:25] Get caught by the gunner's eyes

[00:01:32] And so he lived at sea a hundred years

[00:01:49] His mouth was as large as a tunnel

[00:01:53] So they say

[00:01:58] His hide was thick as leather

[00:02:00] And his eyes quick and small

[00:02:03] And his back was all scarred by

[00:02:06] The times he got away

[00:02:12] And he knew the smell of whalers

[00:02:14] Did Big Blue

[00:02:30] Big Blue passed away to his natural decay

[00:02:39] Beside the Arctic Circle as he traveled up that way

[00:02:43] And there never was a man who

[00:02:46] Was born with a gunner's hand

[00:02:53] Who ever took a pan to Big Blue

[00:03:10] Now the gray whale has run and

[00:03:13] The sperm is almost done

[00:03:19] The fin backs and the Greenland

[00:03:21] Rights have all passed and gone

[00:03:24] They've been taken by the men for

[00:03:27] The money they could spend

[00:03:33] And the killing never ends it just goes on

[00:03:48] The oceans of the earth were

[00:03:51] The home of Big Blue

[00:03:57] He was the greatest monster

[00:03:59] That the world ever knew

[00:04:02] And the place that he loved

[00:04:04] Best was the waters to the west

[00:04:11] Around the blue Pacific he did roam
