《(Far Away Feeling) the Spell of the Yukon》歌词

[00:00:00] The Spell of the Yukon - Jim Reeves

[00:00:01] Written by：Robert Service/Anita Kerr

[00:00:10] I wanted the gold and I sought it

[00:00:12] I scrabbled and mucked like a slave

[00:00:16] Was it famine or scurvy I fought it

[00:00:20] I hurled my youth into a grave

[00:00:22] I wanted the gold and I got it

[00:00:27] Came out with a fortune last fall

[00:00:30] Yet somehow life's not what I thought it

[00:00:34] And somehow the gold isn't all

[00:00:38] No there's the land have you seen it

[00:00:42] It's the cussedest land that I know

[00:00:46] From the big dizzy mountains that screen it

[00:00:48] To the deep deathlike valleys below

[00:00:53] Some say god was tired when he made it

[00:00:57] Some say it's a fine land to shun

[00:01:00] Maybe but there's some as would trade it

[00:01:03] For no land on earth and I'm one

[00:01:08] You come to get rich damned good reason

[00:01:12] You feel like an exile at first

[00:01:15] You hate it like hell for a season

[00:01:18] And then you are worse than the worst

[00:01:21] It grips you like some kinds of sinning

[00:01:23] It twists you from foe to a friend

[00:01:27] It seems it's been since the beginning

[00:01:30] It seems it will be to the end

[00:01:34] I've stood in some mighty mouthed hollow

[00:01:37] That's plumb full of hush to the brim

[00:01:40] I've watched the big husky sun wallow

[00:01:42] In crimson and gold and grow dim

[00:01:46] Till the moon set the pearly peaks gleaming

[00:01:50] And the stars tumbled out neck and crop

[00:01:53] And I've thought that I surely was dreaming

[00:01:56] With the peace o' the world piled on top

[00:02:01] The summer no sweeter was ever

[00:02:04] The sunshiny woods all athrill

[00:02:07] The grayling aleap in the river

[00:02:09] The bighorn asleep on the hill

[00:02:12] The strong life that never knows harness

[00:02:16] The wilds where the caribou call

[00:02:19] The freshness the freedom the farness

[00:02:24] O god how I'm stuck on it all

[00:02:29] The winter the brightness that blinds you

[00:02:31] The white land locked tight as a drum

[00:02:34] The cold fear that follows and finds you

[00:02:37] The silence that bludgeons you dumb

[00:02:41] The snows that are older than history

[00:02:43] The woods where the weird shadows slant

[00:02:47] The stillness the moonlight the mystery

[00:02:53] I've bade 'em goodbye but I can't

[00:02:58] There's a land where the mountains are nameless

[00:03:01] And the rivers all run god knows where

[00:03:04] There are lives that are erring and aimless

[00:03:07] And deaths that just hang by a hair

[00:03:11] There are hardships that nobody reckons

[00:03:14] There are valleys unpeopled and still

[00:03:18] There's a land oh it beckons and beckons

[00:03:23] And I want to go back and I will

[00:03:27] They're making my money diminish

[00:03:29] I'm sick of the taste of champagne

[00:03:32] Thank god when I'm skinned to a finish

[00:03:34] I'll pike to the yukon again

[00:03:36] I'll fight and you bet it's no sham fight

[00:03:39] It's hell but I've been there before

[00:03:43] And it's better than this by a greatsite

[00:03:46] So me for the yukon once more

[00:03:49] There's gold and it's haunting and haunting

[00:03:54] It's luring me on as of old

[00:03:56] Yet it isn't the gold that I'm wanting

[00:03:58] So much as just finding the gold

[00:04:01] It's the great big broad land 'way up yonder

[00:04:04] It's the forests where silence has lease

[00:04:06] It's the beauty that thrills me with wonder

[00:04:10] It's the stillness that fills me with peace
