longer dan fogelberg
longer than there've been fishes in the ocean
higher than any bird ever flew
longer than there've been stars up in the heavens
i've been in love with you
stronger than any mountain cathedral
truer than any tree ever grew
deeper than any forest primeval
i am in love with you
i'll bring fire in the winters
you'll send showers in the spring
we'll fly through the falls and summers
with love on our wings
through the years as the fire starts to mellow
blurring lines in the book of our lives
though the binding's cracked and the pages start to yellow
i'll be in love with you
i'll be in love with you
longer than there've been fishes in the ocean
higher than any bird ever flew
longer than there've been stars up in the heavens
i've been in love with you
i've been in love with you作者: sintian 时间: 2005-1-25 22:13
In the Spring of Forty-seven,
So the story, it is told,
Old John Sutter went to the mill site
Found a piece of shining gold.
Well, he took it to the city
Where the word, like wildfire, spread.
And old John Sutter soon came to wish he'd
Left that stone in the river bed.
For they came like herds of locusts
Every woman, child and man
In their lumbering Conestogas
They left their tracks upon the land.
Some would fail and some would prosper
Some would die and some would kill
Some would thank the Lord for their deliverance
And some would curse John Sutter's Mill.
Well, they came from New York City,
And they came from Alabam'
With their dreams of finding fortunes
In this wild unsettled land.
Well, some fell prey to hostile arrows
As they tried to cross the plains.
And some were lost in the Rocky mountains
With their hands froze to the reins.
Oh...
Some would fail and some would prosper
Some would die and some would kill
Some would thank the Lord for their deliverance
And some would curse John Sutter's Mill.
Well, some pushed on to California
And others stopped to take their rest.
And by the Spring of Eighteen-sixty
They had opened up the west.
And then the railroad came behind them
And the land was plowed and tamed,
When Old John Sutter went to meet his maker,
He'd not one penny to his name.
Oh...
Some would fail and some would prosper
Some would die and some would kill
Some would thank the Lord for their deliverance
And some would curse John Sutter's Mill.
And some would curse John Sutter's Mill
Some men's thirsts are never filled.作者: sintian 时间: 2005-1-25 22:16
