《Delivery Delayed(LP版)》歌词

[00:00:00] Delivery Delayed (LP版) - Peter, Paul & Mary (彼得、保罗与玛丽三重唱)

[00:00:14] How early is beginning?

[00:00:22] From when is there a soul?

[00:00:29] Do we discover living,

[00:00:35] Or somehow are we told?

[00:00:43] In sudden pain, in empty cold

[00:00:47] In blinding light of day

[00:00:50] We're given breath and it takes our breath away

[00:01:01] How cruel to unformed fancy,

[00:01:08] The way in which we come

[00:01:15] Overwhelmed by feelings

[00:01:22] And sudden loss of love

[00:01:29] And what price dark confining

[00:01:33] The heart is to forgive

[00:01:36] When all at once we're called upon to live

[00:01:51] Then by giant hands we're taken

[00:02:01] From the shelter of the womb

[00:02:08] That dreaded first horizon

[00:02:16] The endless empty room

[00:02:22] Where communion is lost forever

[00:02:26] When a heart first beats alone

[00:02:29] Still it remembers no matter how it's grown

[00:02:48] We grow, but grow apart

[00:02:53] We live, but more alone

[00:03:02] The more to be, the more to see

[00:03:06] To cry aloud that we are free

[00:03:10] To hide the ancient fear of being alone

[00:03:18] And now we live in darkness

[00:03:28] Embracing spiteful holds

[00:03:34] Refusing any answers

[00:03:46] For no man can be told

[00:03:52] That delivery is delayed

[00:03:56] Until at last we're made aware

[00:04:02] And first reach for love

[00:04:06] To find t'was always there

[00:04:19] Always there.
