Dream Street Rose

Gordon Lightfoot Dream Street Rose歌詞
1.Sea Of Tranquility

I live in the light of the bright silver moon
I'll take you off sailing from midnight till noon
I'll show the sea of tranquility
You can have any flavor you happen see
I live in the shade of a forest of green
In the wildest of woodlands that you've ever seen
There's rabbits and quail and tender young snails
As brown as the seaweed on old rusty nails

There's fireflies dancing in the cool evening breeze
There's love and romancin' as nice as you please
There's otters and frogs and spotted ground hogs
And wiley old weasels in rotted out logs

There's rivers of rainbow and grey mountain trout
And little dark holes where the varmints hang out
There's foxes and hares in traps and in snares
And lots of bald eagles so you'd better take care

So if you've got the time and you'd like to pass by
Come down around midnight and give us a try
We'll show you the sea of tranquility
You can have any flavor you happen to see


2.Ghosts Of Cape Horn

All around old cape horn
Ships of the line, ships of the morn
Some who wish they'd never been born
They are the ghosts of cape horn
Fal deral da riddle de rum
With a rim dim diddy
And a rum dum dum
Sailing away at the break of morn
They are the ghosts of cape horn

See them all in sad repair
Demons dance everywhere
Southern gales, tattered sails
And none to tell the tales

Come all of you rustic old sea dogs
Who follow the great southern cross
You we're rounding the horn
In the eye of a storm
When ya lost 'er one day
And you read all yer letters
From oceans away
Then you took them to the bottom of the sea

All around old cape horn
Ships of the line, ships of the morn
Those who wish they'd never been born
They are the ghosts of cape horn

Fal deral da riddle de rum
With a rim dim diddy
And a rum dum dum
Sailing away at the break of morn
They are the ghosts of cape horn

Come all you old sea dogs from devon
Southampton, penzance, and kinsale
You were caught by the chance
Of a sailor's last dance
It was not meant to be
And ya read all yer letters
Cried anchor aweigh
Then ya took them to the bottom of the sea

All around old cape horn
Ships of the line, ships of the morn
Those who wish they'd never been born
They are the ghosts of cape horn

Fal deral da riddle de rum
With a rim dim diddy
And a rum dum dum
Sailing away at the break of morn
They are the ghosts of cape horn


3.Dream Street Rose

You've bin in all my dreams since you've been gone
Each mornin' that i wake up with the dawn

4.On The High Seas

Was it someone she met that's so hard to forget
Was it some kind of an ocean of changes
I don't remember where she said she would be
And since i don't know, let me guess
Was it somewhere in michigan or the lake of the woods
Up in old montreal or toronto the good
Somewhere in reno or somewhere in rome
And when all is said and done
Will she leave me alone

I don't want to get so low
And as for my sadness, it comes and it goes
I don't remember where she said she would be
Back in the city or on the high seas

Was it up in hornpayne where the trains run on time
Was she drinking champagne when she made up her mind
North of the border or down in south bend
And when all is said and done
Is there no rainbow's end

I don't want to own the key
To some ghostly mansion where souls are set free
I don't remember where she said she would go
Straight for the highway or down the low road
I don't remember where she said she would be
Back in the city or on the high seas


5.Whisper My Name

Travel with me if you choose
Into a land of notions
Through the ruins of yesteryear
Set yer mind in motion
Be beside me win or lose
I will no forsake thee
I must do, so must you
Now will you go with me
I will build a home for you
To keep you warm each winter
Lemon lilies at your door
To give you in september
I will take you as you stand
I promise to defend thee
I must do, so must you
Now will you go with me

Whisper my name as you pass through my life
Whisper my name when you fall
I'm just a dusty old mem'ry ya trust
I'll be close by when you call

Give and take ain't always so
Seeing is believing
Down and out don't stop the show
Staying is not leaving
What we say ain't always so
But i won't deceive thee
I must do, so must you
Now will you go with me

Talk to me, run to me, whisper my name
Don't waste your love makin' friends
We've both had enough of that wonderful stuff
It's too easy to sin

Travel with me if you choose
Into a land of notions
Through the ruins of yesteryear
Set yer mind in motion
Be beside me win or lose
I will no forsake thee
I must do, so must you
Now will you go with me

Travel with me if you choose
I promise to protect thee
I must do, so must you
Now will you go with me
Now will you go with me


6.If You Need Me

If you want to know the reasons for
The things i feel inside
You can run away and hide if you want to
But if you need me
Show me a way to get through
Cause i've not see anyone like you
Since i was a man
If you want to know for certain
What is written in my soul
Where my wildest dreams unfold
Like an endless stream
If you need me
Show me a way to walk tall
Cause i'd not seen anything at all
Until i met you

Sun lights up the seasons
Blue eyes light up the night

If you want to know the meaning of
These feelings that's alright
I could be with you tonight
That's where i'd like to stay
If you need me
Show me a love that is true
Cause i've not seen a woman like you
Since i was a man

If you want to know what magic lies
Beneath the willow blooms
In each corner of each room
Where my love has strayed
If you need me
Show me a way to walk tall
Cause i'd not seen anything at all
Until i met you
If you need me
Show me a way to get through
Cause i've not seen anything like you
Since i was a man


7.Hey You

Hey you upon this ship of fools
I have found you bending your own rules
Thank you i don't mind if i do
Dream a while of the lovin' that we knew
There was such a flaming time
I never will forget
It was all so easy then
This is my one regret

Hey you my angel in blue
Mother nature saved her best for you
Green grow the lilacs on the wall
Heaven help them, catch them as they fall

Hey you angel in disguise
What is your angle what is your surprise
Hey you fever that is mine
What is your game plan what is your design

Reality brings mystery
And ne'er the twain shall meet
And all of my wild horses
Cannot pull you off your feet

Hey you angel on my mind
All around me til the end of time
Thank you i don't mind if i do
Dream a while of the lovin' that we knew

There was such a flaming time
I never will forget
It was all so easy then
This is my one regret

Hey you my angel in blue
I'm entangled tell me what to do
Green grow the lilacs on the wall
Heaven help them catch them as they fall


8.Make Way For The Lady

Some life i've bin livin'
Like a song in the night
Good sounds every moment
Good news and bright lights
Anytime i get lonesome
I just got ta do the things right
Make way for the lady
You can do it my son
Makin' hay with no gravy
Brings the good folk down
Anytime you get lonely
You just got to turn it around

This life i've bin given
It don't tell you no lies
Could've been somewhat wasted
How could it be otherwise
When the sound of the laughter
Brought the tears in to my eyes

Make way for the lady
You can do it my son
Makin' hay with no gravy
Gets the day's work done
When a blue mood gets rollin'
You just got to turn it around
Turn it around

Shake hands with the father
The son and the holy ghost
The impossible believers
And the heavenly host
If you must do it better
You just got to do it the most

Make way for the lady
You can do it my son
Makin' hay with no gravy
Brings all the good folks down
When a blue moon starts risin'
You just got to turn it around
Turn it around
Turn it around

Make way for the lady
And turn it around

Bless my soul, let me do what i can
For my future is in your hands


10.The Auctioneer

Hey well all right sir, open the gate
Let'em out and walk'em boys
Here we come with lot number twenty-nine
What are you gonna give for the little fella

Well there was a boy from arkansas who wouldn't listen to his ma
When she told him that he should go to school
He'd sneak away in the afternoon and take a walk and pretty soon
You'd find him at the local auction barn
He'd stand and listen carefully until at last he began to see
How the auctioneer could talk so rapidly
He said 'oh my, it's do or die, i've got to learn that auction
cry
Gonna make my mark and be an auctioneer'

Well the time went by and he did his best and all could see he
did not jest
He practiced calling bids both night and day
Til his pappy found him behind the barn just working up an awful
storm
As he tried to imitate the auctioneer
His pop said 'son we just can't stand to have a mediocre man
Selling things at auction using our good name
Gonna send you off to auction school and then you'll be nobody's
fool
And you can take your place among the best'

And from that boy that went to school there grew a man who
played it cool
He come back home a full fledged auctioneer
And the people would come from miles around
Just to hear him make that rhythmic sound
That filled their hearts with such a happy cheer
And his fame spread out from shore to shore
He'd all that he could do and more
He had to buy a plane to get around
Now he's the best in all the land, let's pause and give that man
a hand
For he's the best of all the auctioneers
