《Murmansk Run / Ellis Island》歌词

[00:00:01] Your father sailed on the Murmansk run

[00:00:05] To guide the flocks of the ships home one by one

[00:00:09] Grey beneath the Arctic sun

[00:00:12] Or the glow of Northern Lights

[00:00:17] I see you have his photograph

[00:00:21] His eyes are watching for dangers fore or aft

[00:00:25] Trading days beneath the sun

[00:00:28] For the cold and wintry nights of the Murmansk run

[00:00:41] He never did come home to you

[00:00:45] It＇s long forgotten, a childhood dream or two

[00:00:49] But something of the cold got through

[00:00:52] And it lingers in your eyes

[00:00:57] On days like these you hear the wind

[00:01:01] And feel the chill of the ice floes closing in

[00:01:05] Trading days beneath the sun

[00:01:08] For the cold and wintry nights of the Murmansk run

[00:01:20] Save our souls, river of darkness over me

[00:01:28] Save our souls, lost on the dark uncharted sea

[00:01:39] Now you hide yourself from view

[00:01:43] You seem to find it an easy thing to do

[00:01:47] Trading days beneath the sun

[00:01:50] For the cold and wintry nights of the Murmansk run

[00:02:42] Save our souls, river of darkness over me

[00:02:50] Save our souls, lost on the dark uncharted sea

[00:03:12] Well you wake up in the morning on Hester street

[00:03:15] And run to the factory, You can＇t afford to be late

[00:03:23] Working every morning, every evening, every day

[00:03:27] For your money, Yet there＇s nothing to save

[00:03:34] Watching your life pass by the window

[00:03:38] Feeling it all run through your hands

[00:03:41] Counting the thousands behind in the lines

[00:03:44] Waiting time for their chance

[00:03:48] From Ellis Island, day after day

[00:03:56] From Ellis Island, dreams slip away

[00:04:08] Meanwhile from the market come the cries

[00:04:10] Of every tongue and every nation

[00:04:14] Refugeless refugees

[00:04:19] Faces from the endless plains of Russia

[00:04:21] Blonde Norwegian, dark Croatian

[00:04:25] Songs in sad minor keys

[00:04:29] Feeling the heat inside the fumace

[00:04:33] Trying to make that break away

[00:04:37] Reaching their hands for a grip

[00:04:39] On the edge just to slip back again

[00:04:44] From Ellis Island, day after day

[00:04:51] From Ellis Island, dreams slip away

[00:04:59] Ah well I＇ve heard it said

[00:05:01] If you just use your head

[00:05:03] You can make your fortune here

[00:05:07] One lucky break and that＇s all it would take

[00:05:10] But it never seems to be near

[00:05:16] Another day, another ship pulls into harbor

[00:05:19] And the crowd spills down the gangway

[00:05:22] Clutching their suitcases tight

[00:05:28] Blinking in the sunlight at the door of the new world

[00:05:31] They hold the handrail

[00:05:34] With all the post thrown behind

[00:05:38] Caught in between now and forever

[00:05:42] Wondering just what lies ahead

[00:05:46] Each one is waiting and hoping

[00:05:48] The door will be open to them

[00:05:53] On Ellis Island, day after day

[00:06:00] On Ellis Island, time slips away

[00:06:07] From Ellis Island, day after day

[00:06:15] From Ellis Island, dreams slip away

[00:06:34] Save our souls, river of darkness over me

[00:06:42] Save our souls, lost on the dark uncharted sea
