《Telegraph Road》歌词

[00:02:20] A long time ago came a man on a track

[00:02:23] Walking thirty miles with a sack on his back

[00:02:27] And he put down his load

[00:02:29] Where he thought it was the best

[00:02:31] He made a home in the wilderness

[00:02:38] He built a cabin and a winter store

[00:02:41] And he plowed up the ground by the cold lake shore

[00:02:46] And the other travellers came walking down the track

[00:02:50] And they never went further no

[00:02:56] They never went back

[00:02:58] Then came the churches

[00:02:59] Then came the schools

[00:03:02] Then came the lawyers

[00:03:04] Then came the rules

[00:03:06] Then came the trains and the trucks with their loads

[00:03:38] And the dirty old track

[00:03:42] Was the telegraph road

[00:03:45] Then came the mines

[00:03:48] Then came the ore

[00:03:52] Then there was the hard times

[00:03:57] Like a rolling river

[00:05:03] And my radio says tonight it's gonna freeze

[00:05:09] People driving home from the factories

[00:05:11] Six lanes of traffic

[00:05:14] Three lanes moving slow

[00:07:20] I used to like to go to work

[00:07:21] But they shut it down

[00:07:22] I've got a right to go to work

[00:07:24] But there's no work here to be found

[00:07:26] Yes and they say

[00:07:27] We're gonna have to pay what's owed

[00:07:31] We're gonna have to reap

[00:07:32] From some seed that's been sowed

[00:07:37] And the birds up on the wires

[00:07:39] And the telegraph poles

[00:07:41] They can always fly away from this rain and this cold

[00:07:45] You can hear them singing out their telegraph code

[00:08:34] But I remember those nights

[00:08:35] When life was just a bet on a race between the lights

[00:08:37] You had your head on my shoulder

[00:08:38] You had your hand in my hair

[00:08:43] Now you act a little colder like you don't seem to care

[00:08:48] But just believe in me baby and I'll take you away

[00:08:50] From out of this darkness and into the day

[00:08:54] From these rivers of headlights these rivers of rain

[00:08:55] From the anger that lives on the streets with these names

[00:08:59] 'Cos I've run every red light on memory lane

[00:09:03] I've seen desperation explode into flames

[00:09:08] And I don't wanna see it again

[00:09:15] From all of these signs saying sorry but we're closed
