《Where Are They Now》歌词

[00:00:01] Where Are They Now - Al Stewart

[00:00:17] I sent my crack divisions

[00:00:19] Through the early morning mist

[00:00:21] When they fell on your positions

[00:00:23] You were powerless to resist

[00:00:25] Encircling and probing for

[00:00:27] The weakness in your line

[00:00:29] By night you were surrounded;

[00:00:32] Your territory mine

[00:00:34] I called for your surrender;

[00:00:36] This you swore you would not do

[00:00:38] So I stormed the very fortress

[00:00:40] You thought could shelter you

[00:00:42] I held you then upon your knees

[00:00:44] And turned to give my thanks

[00:00:47] To the regiments assembled

[00:00:48] In their ranks

[00:00:50] Where are they now

[00:00:54] Where are they now

[00:01:00] I raised you to your feet

[00:01:01] With your hand inside my own

[00:01:03] We set off upon a journey

[00:01:05] Each together each alone

[00:01:08] In the days that followed

[00:01:10] Oh our lives did overlap

[00:01:12] I learned the contours of

[00:01:13] Your body like the roads upon a map

[00:01:16] You sweetened every evening

[00:01:18] I savoured every day

[00:01:21] Just when I was certain

[00:01:23] It would always be this way

[00:01:25] You slipped beyond the reach

[00:01:27] Of my outstretched fingertips

[00:01:29] With all the kisses

[00:01:30] We'd placed upon your lips

[00:01:33] Where are they now

[00:01:37] Where are they now

[00:01:42] Oh close You're close

[00:01:47] Someone come shine a light

[00:01:50] Oh near So near

[00:01:56] But just out of sight

[00:02:03] I went in search of alchemy

[00:02:05] To resurrect the dead

[00:02:07] Sent my spies to fathom out

[00:02:10] The secrets in your head

[00:02:11] They said they heard your laughter

[00:02:13] Spinning through the summer night

[00:02:15] In the company of strangers

[00:02:17] And your eyes were wild and bright

[00:02:20] Though I grew reclusive

[00:02:22] And my days became withdrawn

[00:02:24] I held the banner of our love

[00:02:26] Now tattered and forlorn

[00:02:28] And swore that it would one

[00:02:30] Day fly above us once again

[00:02:32] To do this

[00:02:34] I had my reasons then

[00:02:36] Where are they now

[00:02:40] Where are they now

[00:03:28] Close You're close

[00:03:32] Once again come shine a light

[00:03:36] Oh near So near

[00:03:42] But just out of sight

[00:03:45] Perhaps there are some passions

[00:03:47] That are tempered by the years

[00:03:49] You reach accomodation

[00:03:51] The intensity recedes

[00:03:53] Some of this occurred to me

[00:03:55] The time I saw you last

[00:03:58] Your face familiar in a way

[00:04:00] Your voice out of the past

[00:04:02] Every gamut of emotion shared

[00:04:04] From tenderness to rage

[00:04:06] Fell away between us in the

[00:04:09] Turning of that page

[00:04:10] It seemed like only yesterday

[00:04:12] We swore that we'd be true

[00:04:14] Two innocents believing that they knew

[00:04:18] Where are they now

[00:04:22] Where are they now

[00:04:26] Where are they now

[00:04:31] Where are they now
