North-Emmy the Great

[00:00.000] 作曲 : Euan Hinshelwood/Emma-Lee Moss/Gareth Griffith-Jones [00:17.04]There's a place I'm gonna leave to [00:19.85]When all this questioning is through [00:23.60]I'm gonna set my course to somewhere further North [00:27.41]Than my eyes have ever viewed [00:30.66]And though I know that the thought proceeds me [00:34.04]I know that others seek it too [00:37.60]But when I get where the needle leads me [00:41.29]Well I swear, and I swear, [00:43.35]you'll never lead me away again [00:51.91]And in the time when the peace of islands [00:55.04]Was first by human hand disturbed [00:58.85]They built their houses and they said obedience [01:02.54]Was all the lives of men were worth [01:05.85]And in the shadow of the temperance [01:08.60]They laid boundaries in the dirt [01:13.04]And when the door had a narrow entrance [01:15.85]With their hands on their shirts [01:18.48]they would pray for the non-believers [01:22.73] [01:24.91]And there's a place called North [01:27.29]And they're gathering there to sing [01:30.85]And I knock three times and beg them [01:33.98]But they will not let me in [01:38.29]And "Oh, my girl" they say [01:41.41]"You're the carrier to no gain" [01:44.79]But I lay, what I can, somewhere North of this and [01:50.44]Would you turn me away again? [01:51.57] [01:59.32]And do you go where the needle leads to [02:01.39]And when you get there will you change? [02:05.95]Out where the nights are soft [02:07.95]And now you go because you think [02:09.70]that Paradise should be tamed [02:12.76]And how you live is by a map of humanity [02:16.51]And now you grip it 'cause you think that it saves [02:19.88]But I've seen what you see [02:21.89]It looks different to me [02:23.64]I see lights to the shore [02:25.51]And all these hearts beating other rhythms [02:30.76]Now they die to be born [02:36.07]And all their mysteries are dying with them [02:42.45]And there's a place called North [02:44.89]And you're gathering there to sing [02:48.32]And I knock three times and beg you [02:51.39]But you will not let me in [02:56.32]But though I love so hard [02:58.95]Now I'm the carrier to this gate [03:02.40]And I lay, what I can, [03:05.90]somewhere North of us and [03:08.05]Would you turn me away again? [03:10.40] [03:24.77]And would these winds would lift [03:27.22]And they carry me to your door [03:30.79]And I knock three times and tell you [03:33.85]I can't help where I was born [03:38.60]But don't I love enough [03:41.35]Isn't holiness where it forms? [03:44.79]If I take, what I have, to the North [03:50.04]Is there room on your piece of Heaven? [04:09.85] [04:18.54]Oh would you turn me away again?
