《One Stage Before (2001 Digital Remaster)》歌词

[00:00:00] One Stage Before - Al Stewart

[00:00:18] It seems to me as though

[00:00:21] I've been upon this stage before

[00:00:24] And juggled away the night

[00:00:27] For the same old crowd

[00:00:31] These harlequins you see with me

[00:00:33] They too have held the floor

[00:00:37] As here once again they strut

[00:00:39] And they fret their hour

[00:00:43] I see those half-familiar

[00:00:45] Faces in the second row

[00:00:49] Ghost-like with the footlights

[00:00:51] In their eyes

[00:00:55] But where or when we met like

[00:00:57] This last time I just don't know

[00:01:01] It's like a chord

[00:01:03] That rings and never dies

[00:01:07] For infinity

[00:01:20] And now these figures in the wings

[00:01:23] With all their restless tunes

[00:01:26] Are waiting for someone

[00:01:29] To call their names

[00:01:32] They walk the backstage corridors

[00:01:35] And prowl the dressing-rooms

[00:01:38] And vanish to specks of light

[00:01:41] In the picture-frames

[00:01:44] But did they move upon

[00:01:47] The stage a thousand years ago

[00:01:51] In some play in Paris or Madrid

[00:01:57] And was I there among them then

[00:01:59] In some travelling show

[00:02:03] And is it all still locked inside my head

[00:02:09] For infinity

[00:02:21] And some of you are harmonies

[00:02:24] To all the notes I play

[00:02:27] Although we may not meet

[00:02:29] Still you know me well

[00:02:33] While others talk in secret keys

[00:02:36] And transpose all I say

[00:02:39] And nothing I do or try can

[00:02:42] Get through the spell

[00:02:45] So one more time we'll dim the lights

[00:02:48] And ring the curtain up

[00:02:51] And play again like all the times before

[00:02:58] But far behind the music you

[00:03:01] Can almost hear the sounds

[00:03:04] Of laughter like the waves upon the shores

[00:03:10] Of infinity
