《Christmas At Sea》歌词

[00:00:00] Christmas At Sea - Sting (史汀)

[00:00:11] All day we fought

[00:00:12] The tides between the North

[00:00:14] Head and the South

[00:00:17] All day we hauled

[00:00:18] The frozen sheets to scape the

[00:00:20] Storms wet mouth

[00:00:23] All day as cold as charity

[00:00:26] In bitter pain and

[00:00:27] Dread

[00:00:29] For very life and nature

[00:00:32] We tacked from head

[00:00:35] To head

[00:01:05] We gave the South a wider berth

[00:01:08] For there the

[00:01:09] Tide race roared;

[00:01:11] But every tack we made

[00:01:13] We brought the North

[00:01:15] Head close aboard:

[00:01:17] We saw the cliffs and

[00:01:19] Houses and the breakers

[00:01:21] Running high

[00:01:23] And the coastguard in his garden

[00:01:26] His glass

[00:01:27] Against his eye

[00:01:42] The frost was on the village

[00:01:44] Roofs as white as

[00:01:45] Ocean foam;

[00:01:48] The good red fi res

[00:01:49] Were burning bright in every

[00:01:51] Long shore home;

[00:01:54] The windows sparkled

[00:01:55] Clear and the chimneys

[00:01:57] Volleyed out;

[00:01:59] And I vow we sniffed

[00:02:01] The victuals as the vessel

[00:02:03] Went about

[00:02:18] The bells upon the

[00:02:19] Church were rung with a

[00:02:21] Mighty jovial cheer;

[00:02:24] For its just that

[00:02:25] I should tell you how of all days

[00:02:28] In the year

[00:02:30] This day of our adversity

[00:02:33] Was blessed Christmas

[00:02:34] Morn

[00:02:36] And the house above the

[00:02:37] Coastguards was the

[00:02:39] House where I was born

[00:03:15] And well I knew the talk they had

[00:03:18] The talk that

[00:03:19] Was of me

[00:03:21] Of the shadow on the

[00:03:22] Household and the son that

[00:03:25] Went to sea;

[00:03:27] And oh the wicked fool I seemed

[00:03:30] In every kind

[00:03:31] Of way

[00:03:33] To be here and hauling frozen ropes on blessed

[00:03:37] Christmas Day
