《The Island》歌词

[00:00:00] The Island - Mickey Harte

[00:00:22] They say the skies of Lebanon are burning

[00:00:27] Those mighty cedars bleeding in the heat

[00:00:33] They're showing pictures on the television

[00:00:39] Women and children dying in the street

[00:00:46] And we're still at it in our own place

[00:00:50] Still trying to reach the future through the past

[00:00:55] Still trying to carve tomorrow from a tombstone

[00:01:03] But hey don't listen to me

[00:01:05] This wasn't meant to be no sad song

[00:01:12] We've heard too much of that before

[00:01:17] Right now I only want to be here with you

[00:01:22] Till the morning dew comes falling

[00:01:28] I want to take you to the island

[00:01:34] And trace your footprints in the sand

[00:01:40] And in the evening when the sun goes down

[00:01:44] We'll make love to the sound of the ocean

[00:01:58] They're raising banners over by the markets

[00:02:04] Whitewashing slogans on the shipyard walls

[00:02:10] Witch doctors praying for a mighty showdown

[00:02:15] No way our holy flag is gonna fall

[00:02:22] Up here we sacrifice our children

[00:02:27] To feed the worn out dreams of yesterday

[00:02:32] And teach them dying will lead us into glory

[00:02:39] But hey don't listen to me

[00:02:42] This wasn't meant to be no sad song

[00:02:48] We've heard too much of that before

[00:02:54] Right now I only want to be here with you

[00:02:58] Till the morning dew comes falling

[00:03:05] I want to take you to the island

[00:03:11] Trace your footprints in the sand

[00:03:16] And in the evening when the sun goes down

[00:03:21] We'll make love to the sound of the ocean

[00:04:12] Now I know us plain folks don't see all the story

[00:04:18] And I know this peace and love's just copping out

[00:04:23] And I guess these young boys dying in the ditches

[00:04:29] Is just what being free is all about

[00:04:35] And how this twisted wreckage down on main street

[00:04:40] Will bring us all together in the end

[00:04:46] And we'll go marching down the road to freedom

[00:04:55] Freedom

[00:05:02] Freedom
