《Your Tall Ship (’Thin Man Ballads’-Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] Your Tall Ship ('Thin Man Ballads'-Version) - Peter Hammill

[00:00:20] Far so far away

[00:00:25] Surely you remember

[00:00:29] Log book pages frayed

[00:00:33] That fanned the flames of long ago

[00:00:39] Guttered in the grate

[00:00:44] Shadows in the embers

[00:00:47] Look away look for home

[00:00:57] Voices on the air

[00:01:03] Running with the current;

[00:01:07] Wind and tide set fair

[00:01:11] Ship to shore the message goes

[00:01:17] All in love is fair -

[00:01:20] Across the raging torrent

[00:01:24] Sail away sail for home;

[00:01:34] Look away look for home

[00:01:42] Land-locked lovers landlub friends in procession:

[00:01:56] All rites of passage have an end

[00:02:06] Look away sail away

[00:02:15] Sail your tall ship home

[00:02:25] We are ocean-borne

[00:02:30] Far from any harbour

[00:02:35] From our moorings torn

[00:02:39] Ghosts that fly for all we know

[00:02:44] Turn to face the storm

[00:02:48] That's building off to starboard

[00:02:52] Sail away sail for home

[00:03:01] Look away look for home

[00:03:11] Look away in the Roaring Forties

[00:03:57] Land-locked lovers littoral friends

[00:04:06] The succession never ends

[00:04:14] The spirit's willing to carry on;

[00:04:23] All rites of passage make us strong

[00:04:34] Sail away

[00:04:38] Sail away

[00:04:43] Sail your tall ship home
