《Race Among The Ruins》歌词

[00:00:00] Race Among The Ruins - Gordon Lightfoot

[00:00:10] You think you had the last laugh

[00:00:12] Now you know this can't be true

[00:00:15] Even though the sun

[00:00:16] Shines down upon you now

[00:00:17] Sometimes you must feel blue

[00:00:22] You make the best of each new day

[00:00:24] You try not to be sad

[00:00:26] Even though the sky falls down upon you

[00:00:28] Call it midnight feeling bad

[00:00:33] When you wake up to the promise

[00:00:35] Of your dream world coming true

[00:00:38] With one less friend to call on

[00:00:40] Was it someone that I knew

[00:00:44] Away you will go sailing

[00:00:46] In a race among the ruins

[00:00:49] If you plan to face tomorrow

[00:00:51] Do it soon

[00:01:05] The road to love is littered

[00:01:07] By the bones of other ones

[00:01:09] Who by the magic of the moment

[00:01:12] Were mysteriously undone

[00:01:17] You try to understand it

[00:01:18] But you never seem to find

[00:01:21] Any kind of freedom coming clean

[00:01:23] Is just another state of mind

[00:01:28] When you wake up to the promise

[00:01:30] Of your dream world coming true

[00:01:33] With one less friend to call on

[00:01:35] Was it someone that I knew

[00:01:38] Away you will go sailing

[00:01:40] In a race among the ruins

[00:01:43] If you plan to face tomorrow

[00:01:46] Do it soon

[00:01:54] So take the best of all that's left

[00:01:56] You know this cannot last

[00:01:59] Even though your mother was you maker

[00:02:01] From her apron strings you pass

[00:02:05] Just think about the fool

[00:02:07] Who by his virtue can be found

[00:02:10] In a most unusual situation

[00:02:13] Playing jester to the clown

[00:02:17] When you wake up to the promise

[00:02:19] Of your dream world coming true

[00:02:22] With one less friend to call on

[00:02:24] Was it someone that I knew

[00:02:28] Away you will go sailing

[00:02:30] In a race among the ruins

[00:02:33] If you plan to face tomorrow

[00:02:36] Do it soon

[00:02:41] When you wake up to the promise

[00:02:43] Of your dream world coming true

[00:02:46] With one less friend to call on

[00:02:48] Was it someone that I knew

[00:02:52] Away you will go sailing

[00:02:54] In a race among the ruins

[00:02:56] If you plan to face tomorrow

[00:02:58] Do it soon
