《Closet Chronicles(Live 1977-1978)》歌词

[00:00:01] Closet Chronicles - Kansas

[00:00:06] Once carried through the current

[00:00:10] And been swept away

[00:00:13] The king is in the closet

[00:00:16] He's hiding from today

[00:00:19] And though he owns all fortunes

[00:00:22] This is where he'll stay

[00:00:25] And his world is filled with darkness

[00:00:27] Turning grey

[00:00:31] Gazing out the window

[00:00:34] Of the 42nd floor

[00:00:37] He is separate from all others

[00:00:39] No one knocks upon his door

[00:00:42] And it might as well be raining

[00:00:45] Cuz the sunlight hurts his eyes

[00:00:48] And his ears will never hear the children's cries

[00:00:54] Once proud and full of passion

[00:00:57] He fought the cause of man

[00:01:00] Many people loved his courage

[00:01:02] Many followed his command

[00:01:05] He changed the old into the new

[00:01:08] And the course of things to come

[00:01:10] And then one day they noticed

[00:01:13] He was gone

[00:01:17] At first it didn't matter

[00:01:19] Nobody seemed to care

[00:01:22] They all became too busy

[00:01:25] To find him anywhere

[00:01:28] So no one knew not even him

[00:01:31] The problems he would find

[00:01:34] On the day he journeyed deep into his mind

[00:01:40] I close my eyes I go far away

[00:01:43] Away from the battlefield

[00:01:46] In my dreams well here I will enjoy it

[00:01:52] Where innocence plays with all the laughing children

[00:01:58] The kind who are crying right now

[00:02:04] A taste of freedom from the pain

[00:02:07] Of everything here i see

[00:02:10] Life is sweet but I took it all for granted

[00:02:16] And now i don't know if i can ever tell you

[00:02:22] Just what we permit we allow

[00:02:28] Allow me to forget the life

[00:02:31] I've made my own

[00:02:33] I've held this nation in my hand and yet it's not my home

[00:02:39] Oh

[00:02:40] Allow me just one answer and one reason why

[00:02:44] Why this refugee of the family of man must die

[00:02:50] Tell me why

[00:05:10] Daydreams filled his nighttimes

[00:05:13] And night dreams filled his days

[00:05:16] Confusion and uncertainty

[00:05:18] A puzzled mind of haze

[00:05:21] You thought he was so powerful

[00:05:24] And set upon his ways

[00:05:27] Well he left us all to travel through his maze

[00:05:33] I heard the king was dying

[00:05:35] I heard the king was dead

[00:05:38] And with him died the chronicles

[00:05:41] That no one ever read

[00:05:44] The closet's fully empty now

[00:05:47] Its occupied by none

[00:05:50] I'll draw the drapes now destiny is done
