[00:00.00]时代音乐网 www.78497.com[00:21.22]The island it is silent now
[00:24.78]But the ghosts still haunt the waves
[00:28.53]And the torch lights up a famished man
[00:32.65]Who fortune could not save
[00:36.34]Did you work upon the railroad
[00:40.21]Did you rid the streets of crime
[00:44.15]Were your dollars from the white house
[00:48.03]Were they from the five and dime
[00:52.03]Did the old songs taunt or cheer you
[00:55.59]And did they still make you cry
[00:59.59]Did you count the months and years
[01:02.71]Or did your teardrops quickly dry
[01:07.08]Ah no says he towas not to be
[01:11.14]On a coffin ship I came here
[01:14.45]And I never even got so far
[01:18.77]That they could change my name
[01:22.83]Thousands are sailing
[01:26.58]Across the western ocean
[01:30.08]To a land of opportunity
[01:33.95]That some of them will never see
[01:37.95]Fortune prevailing
[01:41.58]Across the western ocean
[01:45.39]Their bellies full
[01:47.14]Spirits Their free
[01:49.02]They'll break the chains of poverty
[01:52.95]And they'll dance
[02:04.33]In Manhattan's desert twilight
[02:08.27]In the death of afternoon
[02:11.89]We stepped hand in hand on Broadway
[02:15.95]Like the first man on the moon
[02:19.58]And "The Blackbird" broke the silence
[02:23.70]As you whistled it so sweet
[02:27.64]And in Brendan Behan's footsteps
[02:31.20]I danced up and down the street
[02:35.58]Then we said goodnight to Broadway
[02:38.82]Giving it our best regards
[02:43.14]Tipped our hats to Mister Cohen
[02:46.82]Dear old Times Square's favorite bard
[02:50.82]Then we raised a glass to JFK
[02:54.76]And a dozen more besides
[02:58.38]When I got back to my empty room
[03:02.64]I suppose I must have cried
[03:06.51]Thousands are sailing
[03:10.07]Again across the ocean
[03:13.95]Where the hand of opportunity
[03:17.63]Draws tickets in a lottery
[03:21.70]Postcards we're mailing
[03:25.32]Of sky-blue skies and oceans
[03:29.20]From rooms the daylight never sees
[03:33.01]Where lights don't glow on Christmas trees
[03:36.71]But dance to the music
[03:38.64]And we dance
[04:14.63]Thousands are sailing
[04:17.94]Across the western ocean
[04:21.63]Where the hand of opportunity
[04:25.38]Draws tickets in a lottery
[04:29.51]Where'er we go we celebrate
[04:33.14]The land that makes us refugees
[04:36.89]From fear of Priests with empty plates
[04:40.70]From guilt and weeping effigies
[04:44.62]But we dance to the music
[04:46.56]And we dance
