Tempest - Bob Dylan.mp3

[00:00.00] 作曲 : Bob Dylan
[00:23.47]The pale moon rose in its glory
[00:27.19]Out on the Western town
[00:30.83]She told a sad, sad story
[00:34.76]Of the great ship that went down
[00:38.81]T'was the fourteenth day of April
[00:42.71]Over the waves she rode
[00:46.52]Sailing into tomorrow
[00:50.17]To a golden age foretold
[00:54.57]The night was black with starlight
[00:58.30]The seas were sharp and clear
[01:02.11]Moving through the shadows
[01:05.92]The promised hour was near
[01:10.16]Lights were holding steady
[01:13.79]Gliding over the foam
[01:17.93]All the lords and ladies
[01:21.76]Heading for their eternal home
[01:25.78]The chandeliers were swaying
[01:29.41]From the balustrades above
[01:33.34]The orchestra was playing
[01:37.36]Songs of faded love
[01:41.28]The watchman, he lay dreaming
[01:44.81]As the ballroom dancers twirled
[01:48.83]He dreamed the Titanic was sinking
[01:52.98]Into the underworld
[01:57.43]
[02:12.58]Leo took his sketchbook
[02:15.83]He was often so inclined
[02:19.83]He closed his eyes and painted
[02:23.52]The scenery in his mind
[02:27.92]Cupid struck his bosom
[02:31.54]And broke it with a snap
[02:35.44]The closest woman to him
[02:39.49]He fell into her lap
[02:43.50]He heard a loud commotion
[02:47.50]Something sounded wrong
[02:51.00]His inner spirit was saying
[02:54.80]That he couldn't stand here long
[02:58.86]He staggered to the quarterdeck
[03:02.75]No time now to sleep
[03:06.59]Water on the quarterdeck
[03:10.55]Already three foot deep
[03:14.68]Smokestack was leaning sideways
[03:18.12]Heavy feet began to pound
[03:22.40]He walked into the whirlwind
[03:26.21]Sky splitting all around
[03:30.10]The ship was going under
[03:33.83]The universe had opened wide
[03:37.86]The roll was called up yonder
[03:41.61]The angels turned aside
[03:45.66]Lights down in the hallway
[03:49.48]Flickering dim and dull
[03:53.32]Dead bodies already floating
[03:57.14]In the double bottom hull
[04:01.29]The engines then exploded
[04:05.22]Propellers they failed to start
[04:08.92]The boilers overloaded
[04:12.61]The ship's bow split apart
[04:16.79]Passengers were flying
[04:20.44]Backward, forward, far and fast
[04:24.47]They mumbled, fumbled, and tumbled
[04:28.20]Each one more weary than the last
[04:32.33]The veil was torn asunder
[04:36.15]'Tween the hours of twelve and one
[04:39.99]No change, no sudden wonder
[04:43.60]Could undo what had been done
[04:47.83]The watchman lay there dreaming
[04:51.46]At forty-five degrees
[04:55.36]He dreamed that the Titanic was sinking
[04:59.62]Dropping to her knees
[05:04.39]
[05:19.14]Wellington he was sleeping
[05:22.72]His bed began to slide
[05:26.88]His valiant heart was beating
[05:30.56]He pushed the tables aside
[05:34.67]Glass of shattered crystal
[05:38.35]Lay scattered roundabout
[05:42.35]He strapped on both his pistols
[05:46.15]How long could he hold out?
[05:50.31]His men and his companions
[05:54.00]Were nowhere to be seen
[05:57.62]In silence there he waited for
[06:01.36]Time and space to intervene
[06:05.60]The passageway was narrow
[06:09.40]There was blackness in the air
[06:13.10]He saw every kind of sorrow
[06:17.11]Heard voices everywhere
[06:21.37]Alarm bells were ringing
[06:24.96]To hold back the swelling tide
[06:28.81]Friends and lovers clinging
[06:32.60]To each other side by side
[06:36.91]Mothers and their daughters
[06:40.80]Descending down the stairs
[06:44.49]Jumped into the icy waters
[06:48.29]Love and pity sent their prayers
[06:52.51]The rich man, Mister Astor
[06:56.39]Kissed his darling wife
[07:00.12]He had no way of knowing
[07:03.91]It'd be the last trip of his life
[07:08.40]Calvin, Blake and Wilson
[07:11.89]Gambled in the dark
[07:15.78]Not one of them would ever live to
[07:19.61]Tell the tale on the disembark
[07:23.82]Brother rose up 'gainst brother
[07:27.51]In every circumstance
[07:31.40]They fought and slaughtered each other
[07:35.40]In a deadly dance
[07:39.18]They lowered down the lifeboats
[07:43.16]From the sinking wreck
[07:46.55]There were traitors, there were turncoats
[07:50.57]Broken backs and broken necks
[07:54.69]The bishop left his cabin
[07:58.35]To help others in need
[08:02.46]Turned his eyes up to the heavens
[08:06.00]Said, he poor are yours to feed
[08:10.32]Davey the brothel-keeper
[08:14.00]Came out dismissed his girls
[08:17.77]Saw the water getting deeper
[08:21.61]Saw the changing of his world.
[08:26.24]Jim Dandy smiled
[08:29.56]He never learned to swim
[08:33.37]Saw the little crippled child
[08:37.26]And he gave his seat to him
[08:41.37]He saw the starlight shining
[08:45.29]Streaming from the East
[08:49.20]Death was on the rampage
[08:52.78]But his heart was now at peace.
[08:57.11]They battened down the hatches
[09:00.74]But the hatches wouldn't hold
[09:04.40]They drowned upon the staircase
[09:08.69]Of brass and polished gold.
[09:12.90]Leo said to Cleo
[09:16.57]I think I'm going mad
[09:19.97]But he'd lost his mind already
[09:24.14]Whatever mind he had
[09:28.11]He tried to block the doorway
[09:32.18]To save all those from harm
[09:35.72]Blood from an open wound
[09:40.19]Pouring down his arm
[09:44.10]Petals fell from flowers
[09:47.66]Til all of them were gone
[09:51.34]In the long and dreadful hours
[09:55.26]The wizard's curse played on
[09:59.42]The host was pouring brandy
[10:03.10]He was going down slow
[10:06.78]He stayed right to the end and he
[10:11.33]Was the last to go
[10:14.87]There were many, many others
[10:18.67]Nameless here forever more
[10:22.68]They never sailed the ocean
[10:26.33]Or left their homes before
[10:30.48]The watchman, he lay dreaming
[10:34.14]The damage had been done
[10:38.33]He dreamed the Titanic was sinking
[10:42.18]And he tried to tell someone
[10:46.00]
[11:03.57]The captain, barely breathing
[11:07.45]Kneeling at the wheel
[11:11.12]Above him and beneath him
[11:14.62]Fifty thousand tons of steel
[11:18.88]He looked over at his compass
[11:22.58]And he gazed into its face needle pointing downward
[11:30.35]He knew he lost the race
[11:34.47]In the dark illumination
[11:38.17]He remembered bygone years
[11:41.85]He read the Book of Revelation
[11:45.98]And he filled his cup with tears
[11:50.20]When the Reaper's task had ended
[11:53.86]Sixteen hundred had gone to rest
[11:57.42]The good, the bad, the rich, the poor
[12:01.71]The loveliest and the best
[12:05.68]They waited at the landing
[12:09.35]And they tried to understand
[12:13.36]But there is no understanding for the judgement of God's hand
[12:21.19]The news came over the wires
[12:24.88]And struck with deadly force
[12:28.77]Love had lost its fires
[12:32.75]All things had run their course
[12:36.87]The watchman he lay dreaming
[12:40.57]Of all things that can be
[12:44.34]He dreamed the Titanic was sinking
[12:48.35]Into the deep blue sea
