《Once Upon a Time There Was an Ocean》歌词

[00:00:00] Once Upon A Time There Was An Ocean - Paul Simon

[00:00:19] Once upon a time there was an ocean

[00:00:24] But now it's a mountain range

[00:00:28] Something unstoppable set into motion

[00:00:33] Nothing is different but everything's changed

[00:00:46] It's a dead end job and you gets tired of sittin'

[00:00:51] And it's like a nicotine habit you're

[00:00:54] Always thinking about quittin'

[00:00:55] I think about quittin' every day of the week

[00:01:00] When I look out my window it's brown and it's bleak

[00:01:05] Outta here

[00:01:07] How am I gonna get outta here

[00:01:10] I'm thinking outta here

[00:01:11] When am I gonna get outta here

[00:01:14] And when will I cash in my lottery ticket

[00:01:19] And bury my past with my burdens and strife

[00:01:24] I want to shake every limb in the garden of Eden

[00:01:29] And make every love the love of my life

[00:01:33] I figure that once upon a time I was an ocean

[00:01:38] But now I'm a mountain range

[00:01:42] Something unstoppable set into motion

[00:01:48] Nothing is different but everything's changed

[00:01:57] Found a room in the heart of the city down by the bridge

[00:02:02] Hot plate and TV and beer in the fridge

[00:02:06] But I'm easy I'm open that's my gift

[00:02:10] I can flow with the traffic I can drift with the drift

[00:02:15] Home again

[00:02:17] Naw never going home again

[00:02:19] Think about home again

[00:02:21] I never think about home

[00:02:23] But then comes a letter from home

[00:02:29] The handwriting's fragile and strange

[00:02:34] Something unstoppable set into motion

[00:02:39] Nothing is different but everything's changed

[00:03:00] The light through the stained glass was cobalt and red

[00:03:08] And the frayed cuffs and collars were

[00:03:12] Mended by haloes of golden thread

[00:03:16] The choir sang Once Upon A Time There Was An Ocean

[00:03:21] And all the old hymns and family names came

[00:03:26] Fluttering down as leaves of emotion

[00:03:31] As nothing is different but everything's changed
