《Thoroughfare Gap》歌词

[00:00:00] Thoroughfare Gap - Stephen Stills (史蒂芬·史提斯)

[00:00:12] Sometimes I consider my pace

[00:00:16] I'm reminded of a train

[00:00:18] Gathering speed for climb to the pass in whose shadow

[00:00:26] It already lies a small metal dragon approaching

[00:00:31] The ever present ascending rise to the

[00:00:37] Seventh Mountain

[00:00:42] Reeling and snaking and leaping it seems

[00:00:47] That it wants to come loose from it's path cast in iron

[00:00:55] But you can't slow down now as the earth has presented

[00:01:00] A new crest to reach without barely

[00:01:04] A rest from the last one

[00:01:12] Can you wonder what lies beyond Though you've been

[00:01:17] There before and forget

[00:01:20] About the effort and the strain

[00:01:25] Always ascending

[00:01:27] Each yard as a mile to the never ending pull

[00:01:33] Of the steepening grade that's before you

[00:01:50] A valley a forest a desert

[00:01:53] A stream and an over sized bridge

[00:01:57] For the trickle beneath you remember the torrent

[00:02:04] It turned to last spring from the snow melting fast

[00:02:10] And the river it became in the summer

[00:02:19] Perhaps it is ruin from a fire that has scorched it

[00:02:25] So badly that nothing will grow without rain to wash away

[00:02:33] The blackened soil now useless until called upon again

[00:02:38] In a future as distant and far away

[00:02:43] As the next range of mountains

[00:02:49] Then take it as far as you see and beyond

[00:02:56] With eyes you don't use enough to gather up strength

[00:03:02] As thoroughfare gap what awaits is whatever you see

[00:03:08] When you get there of even before

[00:03:14] It's no matter no distance it's the ride
