《Telegraph Road》歌词:
[02:19.419]A long time ago came a man on a track
[02:23.669]Walking thirty miles with a sac on his back
[02:27.679]And he put down his load where he thought it was the best
[02:33.990]And he made a home in the wilderness
[02:37.469]He built a cabin and a winter store
[02:41.849]And he ploughed up the ground by the cold lake shore
[02:46.199]And the other travellers came walking down the track
[02:49.918]And they never went further and they never went back
[02:56.199]Then came the churches then came the schools
[03:00.190]Then came the lawyers then came the rules
[03:04.199]Then came the trains and trucks with their loads
[03:08.390]And the dirty old track was the telegraph road
[03:36.478]Then came the mines - then came the ore
[03:40.949]Then there was the hard times then there was a war
[03:44.989]Telegraph sang a song about the world outside
[03:48.969]Telegraph road got so deep and so wide
[03:54.418]Like a rolling river ...
[05:03.609]And my radio says tonight it's gonna freeze
[05:08.650]People driving from the factories
[05:11.679]There's six lanes of traffic
[05:15.800]Three lanes moving slow ...
[07:19.210]I used to like to go to work but they shut it down
[07:22.599]I've got a right to go to work but there's no work here to be found
[07:26.460]Yes and they say we're gonna have to pay what's owed
[07:30.999]We're gonna have to reap from some seed that's been sowed
[07:37.450]And the birds up on the wires and the telegraph poles
[07:41.799]They can always run away from this rain and this cold
[07:45.469]You can hear them singing out their telegraph code
[07:49.900]All the way down the telegraph road
[08:26.650]You know I'd sooner forget but I remember those nights
[08:30.400]When life was just a bet on race between the light
[08:34.789]You had your head on my shoulder you had your hand in my hair
[08:38.297]Now you act a little colder like you don't seem care ...
[08:43.837]But believe in me baby and I'll take you away
[08:49.700]From out of this darkness and into the day
[08:51.867]From these rivers of headlights these river of rain
[08:56.770]From the anger that lives on the streets with these names
[08:59.867]'cos I've run every rod light on memory lane
[09:03.977]I've seen desperation explode into flames
[09:08.897]And I don't want to see it again ...
[09:16.279]From all of these signs saying sorry but we're closed
[09:20.917]All the way...............
[09:35.937]down the telegraph road.................................

[02:19.419]很久以前,有人顺道而来
[02:23.669]跋涉三十里路只身背负行袋
[02:27.679]他发现心之所往,然后放下重担
[02:33.990]在荒野之中建起家园
[02:37.469]他建起了房子和谷仓
[02:41.849]他耕犁在冰冷的湖岸上
[02:46.199]其他旅者也顺道而来
[02:49.918]他们不曾走远,他们不曾归还
[02:56.199]然后有了教堂,然后有了学校
[03:00.190]然后有了律师,然后有了规条
[03:04.199]然后有了满载的列车和卡车
[03:08.390]电报路,就是那条又旧又脏的小道
[03:36.478]然后有了煤矿,然后有了矿山
[03:40.949]然后经历了萧条,然后经历了征战
[03:44.989]电报路歌唱着外面的世界
[03:48.969]电报路变得宽阔,变得深远
[03:54.418]就像奔流的河川……
[05:03.609]收音机说,今晚刺骨冰寒
[05:08.650]人们从工厂开车向家归返
[05:11.679]六车道的车流
[05:15.800]一半行的缓慢
[07:19.210]我热爱工作,但工厂已关
[07:22.599]我有权工作,但工作不再
[07:26.460]是的,他们说我们要为欠下的偿还
[07:30.999]从前种下的苦果我们只能往肚里下咽
[07:37.450]而那电线和电线杆上的小鸟
[07:41.799]它们永远能够飞离这片暴雨和严寒
[07:45.469]你能听到它们电波般的歌声
[07:49.900]沿着电报路不断曲折婉转
[08:26.650]或许我会很快忘却,但我记得那些夜晚
[08:30.400]生活不过是下注在灯光之间的竞赛
[08:34.789]你曾手拂我的发梢,你曾头靠我的臂弯
[08:38.297]现在你却外表冷漠,好像你的关怀不在……
[08:43.837]相信我宝贝我要带你离开
[08:49.700]离开这暗夜向往明天
[08:51.867]离开这车来车往的河流它雨水不断
[08:56.770]离开这熟悉街道上居住的愤然
[08:59.867]因为我曾闯过记忆车道上的所有红灯
[09:03.977]我曾看见过绝望爆发出的烈焰
[09:08.897]但我再也不想看见……
[09:16.279]离开所有这些“停业,抱歉”的招牌
[09:20.917]沿着.....
[09:35.937]电报路不断离开
