《Somewhere in England》歌词

[00:00:01] Somewhere In England 1915 - Al Stewart

[00:00:09] On the platform of an old railway station I enter a dream

[00:00:18] And a couple are saying goodbye

[00:00:22] Through the noise and the steam

[00:00:27] But it's just Brief Encounter my mind is trying to rerun

[00:00:37] And I wait for the poignant

[00:00:39] Finale but the dream has moved on

[00:00:46] And the train has turned into a ship that is sailing away

[00:00:55] And the platform is a beach full of shells under silvery grey

[00:01:04] And the girl on the beach is an

[00:01:07] English Prime Minister's daughter

[00:01:13] And she watches the ship

[00:01:16] Disappear at the edge of the water

[00:01:23] And it feels like the pain in her heart will be never-ending

[00:01:32] And everyone feels this way in the beginning

[00:01:46] And she watches the ship disappear for the length of a sigh

[00:01:55] And the maker of rhymes on the deck who is going to die

[00:02:04] In the corner of some foreign field

[00:02:07] That will make him so famous

[00:02:13] As a light temporarily shines to illumine his pages

[00:02:23] Then the scene has changed once again

[00:02:26] Now it's moonlight on wire

[00:02:32] And the night is disturbed by a sudden volcano of fire

[00:02:41] And a skull in a trench gazes up open-mouthed at the moon

[00:02:50] And the poets are now Wilfred own and Siegfried Sassoon

[00:03:00] And nobody talks anymore about losing and winning

[00:03:09] And everyone feels that way in the beginning

[00:03:18] And I'm up in the air looking down at a girl on a bed

[00:03:27] She's lying asleep on her side with a book at her head

[00:03:37] And it's someone who left long ago

[00:03:40] Was it something I said

[00:03:46] And I hope that she's reading

[00:03:48] King Lear but it's Twelfth Night instead

[00:03:55] Now the girl and the beach and

[00:03:57] The train and the ship are all gone

[00:04:04] And the calendar up on the wall says it's ninety years on

[00:04:13] I go out into the yard where the newspaper waits

[00:04:23] There's a man on the cover we all know defying the fates

[00:04:32] And he seems very sure ashe offers up his opinion

[00:04:41] Well everyone feels like this in the beginning

[00:04:50] When you feel that the pain in your heart will be unending

[00:05:00] Everyone feels this way in the beginning

[00:06:23] If you feel that the pain in your heart will be never-ending

[00:06:32] Well everyone feels that way in the beginning
