《Cold Hands From New York》歌词

[00:00:00] Cold Hands From New York (来自纽约的冰冷双手) - Gordon Lightfoot

[00:00:00] Written by：Gordon Lightfoot

[00:00:10] I came down through Albany to New York

[00:00:13] To find what I'd been missin'

[00:00:16] I looked across the river to the city

[00:00:20] Where the windows all stood glistenin'

[00:00:23] I stood listenin'

[00:00:26] Into a tunnel I did rise like a grave inside

[00:00:29] But I was young and able

[00:00:33] When I came out the other end

[00:00:35] Of through the smoke the winter light was feeble

[00:00:39] Unreadable

[00:00:42] I was optimistic though a cabbie told me where to go

[00:00:46] I thanked him

[00:00:49] A face of white a face of brown

[00:00:51] Ah here a smile and there a look of danger

[00:00:55] For a stranger

[00:00:58] It was too unreal for me

[00:01:00] I found no one who trusted me

[00:01:03] There was no man could offer me

[00:01:05] A cold hand from New York

[00:01:12] Cold hands from New York

[00:01:14] A voice within you cries

[00:01:15] Won't someone please help me

[00:01:19] I'll do the same for you one day

[00:01:21] If you should ever pass my way and need me

[00:01:37] I came down to live alone in New York

[00:01:41] The city of the living

[00:01:44] There were fortunes at my feet but the most of men

[00:01:47] Were taking none we giving

[00:01:50] Or forgiving

[00:01:53] Children ran and children played and roses grew in alleyways

[00:01:57] I saw them

[00:02:00] There were men who lived in style and others who had died

[00:02:04] Where no one knew them

[00:02:06] Beause they couldn't win

[00:02:09] There were parks where old men slept and dingy rooms

[00:02:12] Where babies crept unwanted

[00:02:16] Till I began to ask myself if there were hope

[00:02:19] Or if it mattered what they did

[00:02:22] Or if they lived

[00:02:25] It was too unreal for me

[00:02:27] I found no one who trusted me

[00:02:30] There was no man could offer me

[00:02:32] A cold hand from New York

[00:02:39] Cold hands from New York

[00:02:41] A voice within you cries

[00:02:42] Won't someone please help me

[00:02:46] I'll do the same for you one day

[00:02:48] If you should ever pass my way and need me

[00:03:04] I came down through Albany to New York

[00:03:08] To find what I'd been missin'

[00:03:11] I looked across the river to the city

[00:03:14] Where the windows all stood glistenin'

[00:03:17] I stood listenin'

[00:03:20] And there were prophets in the squares

[00:03:22] And people there who smiled and said

[00:03:25] Forget it

[00:03:27] There were lovers in the park

[00:03:29] And there was danger in the dark I felt it

[00:03:34] So afraid of it

[00:03:36] And there were preachers of the word and poets

[00:03:39] Who were never heard I heard them

[00:03:43] There were those who would not try to learn

[00:03:46] The measure of the lie they're livin'

[00:03:50] And I heard a young musician play in a place

[00:03:53] Where they paid you not to listen

[00:03:57] I heard a woman scream for help while men stood by

[00:04:00] And offered their best wishes

[00:04:03] That's how it is

[00:04:06] It was too unreal for me

[00:04:08] I found no one who trusted me

[00:04:11] There was no man could offer me

[00:04:13] A cold hand from New York

[00:04:20] Cold hands from New York

[00:04:22] A voice within you cries

[00:04:23] Won't someone please help me

[00:04:27] I'll do the same for you one day

[00:04:29] If you should ever pass my way and need me

[00:04:34] Cold hands from New York

[00:04:35] A voice within you cries

[00:04:37] Won't someone please help me

[00:04:40] I'll do the same for you one day

[00:04:43] If you should ever pass my way and need me

[00:04:47] Cold hands from New York

[00:04:49] A voice within you cries

[00:04:51] Won't someone please help me

[00:04:54] I'll do the same for you one day

[00:04:57] If you should ever pass my way and need me
