《False Echoes (Havana 1921)》歌词

[00:00:00] False Echoes (Havana 1921) - Jimmy Buffett

[00:00:14] The skies over Cuba turned pink with the light

[00:00:29] And the water front ritual began to ignite

[00:00:45] All the ships in the harbour were warmed by the sun

[00:01:00] Twenty-fifth of November Nineteen twenty-one

[00:01:16] On the old Chicamauga the signal jacks flew

[00:01:32] And the message they spelled out caused a great ballyhoo

[00:01:47] Every ship in Havana then hoisted away

[00:02:03] All the pennants were flyin' on my dad's first birthday

[00:02:20] Enduring echoes call out from his past

[00:02:28] Time ain't for savin' no Time's not for that

[00:02:36] Chasin' false echoes like a lost legionnaire

[00:02:49] He waltzes on memories while he fades like a flare

[00:03:00] Now his storybook childhood was not make-believe

[00:03:15] On the decks of a tallship he was taught to achieve

[00:03:30] Witnessed storms and starvation natural wonders and force

[00:03:45] Oh the life of a sailor steers a wanderin' course

[00:04:03] Enduring echoes call out from his past

[00:04:10] Time ain't for savin' no Time's not for that

[00:04:18] Chasin' false echoes like a lost legionnaire

[00:04:31] He waltzes on memories while he fades like a flare

[00:04:42] Well now life throws us curve balls we never can reach

[00:04:57] He gave up the ocean but he lived by the beach

[00:05:12] Where he raised up his family taught us all to survive

[00:05:27] Then the wind went away in 1995

[00:06:23] Now the old Chicamauga has slipped by the way

[00:06:39] She lies on the bottom of old Mobile Bay

[00:06:53] Where the ghosts of his father and his brother are near

[00:07:08] They protect him and tell him there's nothing to fear

[00:07:23] 'Cause it's family tradition we take to the sea

[00:07:38] And it's a time in the future for Cameron and me

[00:07:55] Enduring echoes call out from his past

[00:08:03] Time ain't for savin' no Time's not for that

[00:08:10] Chasin' false echoes like a lost legionnaire

[00:08:23] He waltzes on memories while he fades like a flare

[00:08:34] The skies over Cuba were warmed by the sun

[00:08:48] Twenty-fifth of November 1921
