《Isaac Lewis》歌词

[00:00:25] My name is isaac lewis

[00:00:28] I'm an able bodied man

[00:00:32] On the ship the royal charter bound off for van dieman's land

[00:00:39] Oh the sea that took six months to cross we could do in two

[00:00:45] So it's up that mersey river out of liverpool we flew

[00:00:52] And some of us were sailors

[00:00:55] All hardies young and old

[00:00:59] And some of us were pioneers bound off for the gold

[00:01:06] There were merchants and musicians

[00:01:09] Christian soldiers of the cross

[00:01:14] We stared into that foamy sea

[00:01:17] Saw our dreams there in the broth

[00:01:21] Sail on

[00:01:24] Sail on and on and on

[00:01:29] My name is isaac lewis

[00:01:32] And this shall be my song

[00:01:41] So we landed there in botany bay and the boys went on the town

[00:01:48] And I met a girl named emma gray and I loved her up and down

[00:01:55] And I swore that I'd return for her

[00:01:58] One more tour of sea

[00:02:02] But I had to tell to tell my father what he meant to me

[00:02:10] For every night I dreamed a dream as the wind swept thru the sails

[00:02:17] That I was in my father's house

[00:02:20] Back in northern wales

[00:02:24] And I reached out for my father

[00:02:27] I said I love you very much

[00:02:31] But the ship rolled o'er and the dream was drowned

[00:02:35] Before we got to touch

[00:02:38] Sail on

[00:02:42] Sail on and on and on

[00:02:46] My name is isaac lewis

[00:02:49] And this will be my song

[00:02:53] So I kissed the lips of emma gray and set sail for liverpool

[00:02:59] And the parrots perched in the riggings

[00:03:02] Boys

[00:03:02] And the dolphins swam in schools

[00:03:06] Our trip it was a pleasant one till we reached the coast of wales

[00:03:13] And one day out from liverpool

[00:03:17] God unleashed a gale

[00:03:21] Good lord

[00:03:22] I've seen some squalls

[00:03:23] Me boys

[00:03:24] And hurricanes at sea

[00:03:28] And many nights I'd rediscovered faith on bended knee

[00:03:35] But I'd never seen it blow so hard

[00:03:38] We anchored her at last

[00:03:43] But the waves rolled o'er the top of us

[00:03:46] We had to cut the masts

[00:03:50] And all the mining magnates clutched their gold believing they'd be saved

[00:03:57] But their bloody greed destroyed them first beneath the angry waves

[00:04:04] All the women and the children lost to eternity

[00:04:11] Ah

[00:04:11] Man has tames and shaped the land

[00:04:14] He'll never tame the sea

[00:04:18] For every night I had dreamed a dream as the wind swept through the sails

[00:04:26] That I was in my father's house

[00:04:29] Back in northern wales

[00:04:33] And I reached out for my father

[00:04:36] I said I love you very much

[00:04:40] But the ship rolled o'er and the dream was drowned

[00:04:43] Before we got to touch

[00:04:47] Sail on hum

[00:05:03] We were caught upon the rocks just 10yards from the shore

[00:05:10] And we saw men standing on those rocks

[00:05:14] Maybe three or more

[00:05:18] And I swear I saw my father

[00:05:21] Waving at me through the squall

[00:05:25] And I screamed that I was I coming home but that's all that I recall

[00:05:32] For the waves they swept me overboard with the broken masts and sails

[00:05:39] And I drowned where as a child I'd fished on the rocks of northern wales

[00:05:47] And in three days' time I washed upon the whitened sandy shore

[00:05:54] 100yards from moelfre

[00:05:57] My father's wide oak door

[00:06:01] Sail on

[00:06:04] And on and on and on

[00:06:08] My name is isaac lewis and this shall be my song

[00:06:16] And some will shout coincidence or say this can't be true

[00:06:23] I only say just tell your loved ones what they mean to you

[00:06:30] For you shall sail the seas of life

[00:06:33] Pursuing golden schemes

[00:06:37] Yet drown so closely to your home

[00:06:41] The cradle of your dreams

[00:06:44] Sail on

[00:06:48] Sail on and on and on

[00:06:52] My name is isaac lewis and this has been my song

[00:07:01] My name is isaac lewis and this has been my song
