[00:00.000] 作词 : Chris Simpson [00:01.000] 作曲 : Chris Simpson [00:50.905]This is the turning of the year [00:54.659]The final scene before the curtain falls [01:00.754]The squirrel, warm within his bed [01:03.590]of leaves cannot hear the wind [01:06.624]that blows around the chimney pots [01:10.771]For like the pilgrim of the year gone by [01:15.821](He sleeps) [01:22.648]Once he was a young man [01:24.791]who laughed in the spring [01:26.763]And lay beneath an upturned sky [01:28.685]on long hot summer days [01:33.250]But with autumn he grows mellow [01:36.990]He looks over his shoulder [01:38.389]Down the long year path of no return [01:44.050]Already he is but a memory [01:46.515]Fading like a shadow on the wall [01:51.979]But time with restless footsteps [01:54.403]hurries by and now beside the road [01:58.455]There stands the pilgrim [02:01.725]of the year to be [02:05.000] [02:57.871]Falling leaves turn to gold [03:06.382]Silver flowers on my window [03:14.464]Spirit of the fading year [03:24.310]He knows not where [03:28.614]He cannot say, oh no [03:40.452]Naked trees in the sky [03:48.949]Stars are shining clear and cold [03:56.943]The minstrel of the ages [04:00.108]sings of oh so long ago [04:06.439]An age old tune without a name [04:15.541]No one knows [04:20.252]In the white falling snow [04:24.779]The pilgrim travels on [04:29.077]His face towards the sun [04:33.285]Beyond the open road he travels on [04:41.724]Past the lamp shining windows [04:46.533]And faces by the fire [04:50.615]Before the midnight hour [04:55.184]For Christmas time [04:57.648]has come around again [05:03.000] [05:14.296]Go to sleep, little child(Go to sleep, little child) [05:26.059]You shouldn't be awake [05:32.995]Go to sleep little child [05:36.151]Time to let the night go by [05:43.091]Waiting for the sound of a magic sleigh [05:47.941]The chimneys not too tall they say [05:54.083]Or the roof too high for a reindeer to fly [06:01.342]No not too high for a reindeer to fly [06:17.242] [06:23.104]The clock strikes twelve [06:25.097]on a street below [06:27.564]They hurry to a church to pray [06:32.012]"Forgive our sins and negligence [06:33.938]Accept our humble penitence [06:35.954]It's been a year ago today [06:39.927]Since we were here" [06:49.303] [06:54.012]Choir gently sings an anthem [06:58.280]Not too loud or out of key [07:02.664]Congregation turn eye corners [07:07.019]When the plate goes round to see [07:12.456]Who gives the most on Christmas day [07:16.485]The most on Christmas day [07:23.753] [07:44.547]Twilight days are slipping far away [07:48.823]Just sand into an hour glass [07:51.724]For winter time is slowly passed [07:53.790]And cannot last forever [07:59.876]North wind turn your back [08:01.595]upon the doors that you have blown [08:05.692]West wind melt the organ pipes of ice [08:08.869]That glitter on the eaves [08:11.296]of the houses in the town [08:16.864]And the sun wakes up the flowers [08:19.589]That slumber through the winter [08:22.001]And warms the sleepy faces [08:25.297]Waiting for the spring [08:38.502] [08:55.436]The skies of steel [08:57.095]and fields white with frost [08:59.335]are memories of yesterday [09:02.645]And while scarecrow children [09:04.172]search the hedgerows and splash [09:06.504]through muddy pools for secrets [09:09.365]The spirit of the spring [09:11.108]with the sunbeams on her hair [09:13.323]shakes the sleeping earth [09:15.877]And with the pilgrim by her side [09:18.369]She murmurs in the trees [09:20.663]And in the ears of all who listen [09:23.910]"Now time to wake for winter has gone" [09:31.890] [09:54.673]With flowers in her hair [10:03.343]She smiles again and like a child [10:07.695]cares nothing for tomorrow [10:14.065]She spreads her wings [10:21.339]Catch her if you see her [10:23.124]in your mind's eye [10:26.830]For she smiles in a Mona Lisa way [10:35.926] [10:54.382]Sun is rising [10:56.912]from a cloud above your head [11:01.716]When you instead are sleeping [11:10.653] [11:11.466]All is knowing, all is growing [11:25.758]And no one knows [11:28.134]which way their mind is blowing [11:37.476] [11:43.936]And now she finds [11:45.231]her work is almost done [11:47.890]And like a child [11:49.725]cares nothing for tomorrow [11:52.900]And like a child [11:55.006]cares nothing for tomorrow [11:57.883]And like a child thinks only for today [12:09.347] [12:53.965]The pilgrim wanders with the spirit [12:57.105]of the spring, enchanted [12:59.094]As if tomorrow will never come [13:03.624]But time is running out [13:06.207]And as she bids him farewell [13:08.235]Only the echo of her voice remains [13:11.933]For now she flies [13:13.323]On the bare back of the south wind [13:16.163]Across the naked mountains [13:18.103]Above the winding rivers [13:20.469]Breathing gently on the meadows [13:22.898]Scattering her flowers [13:24.033]into the grass and the hedgerows [13:26.738]Fading through the back door into summer [13:40.480] [13:51.813]Long summer day [13:56.257]Golden fingers pointing at my doorway [14:05.416]Meadow sleeping [14:09.105]Watching for the sky to turn you on [14:22.902] [14:38.717]The air filled with heytime [14:43.738]Blowing past a flower-print lady [14:49.159]On a seat in the park [14:51.836]Wears a paper on her head [14:53.674]She never read at all [14:55.318]She's just keeping her mind in the dark [15:00.068]Keeping her mind in the dark [15:07.786]You know she's cool [15:10.485]She's just like an ice-cream man [15:13.031]And don't you see what I mean [15:17.110]She's doing the best that she can [15:21.411]Doing the best that she can [15:31.799] [15:34.511]Hey Mr. Sunshine [15:40.612]Like a Harlequin you're dancing [15:43.815]on my picture book today [15:47.789]Ooh It's a good time [15:54.102]And I'm floating far away [16:03.597]Chew on a candy-floss [16:08.366]in the pouring rain [16:11.156]Kids are crying again [16:14.387]Kids are crying again [16:20.627]Holiday time [16:23.091]Down on a beach with the crowd [16:26.269]Trying to look for the sun [16:28.206]Taking whatever you can [16:31.245]And your deckchair is an island [16:37.499]In a kaleidoscope world [16:49.290] [16:58.349]Jamming cars, crowded bars [17:01.057]Standing trains or smell the drains [17:04.284]The quiver in the heat of the city street [17:07.176]God, I must get away [17:15.010]Hey Mr. Sunshine [17:21.106]And I'm floating far away [17:54.424] [18:08.315]Down the wide open road [18:11.902]The pilgrim travels on [18:14.747]His face towards the sun [18:17.771]Beyond the open road he travels on [18:23.277]And the waves steal the footprints [18:26.658]Of the summer from the sand [18:30.205]Beneath the silver moon [18:33.726]The North wind blows [18:37.051]the fading leaves again [18:45.462] [19:06.777]Around and around [19:08.660]All has nearly turned full circle [19:13.593]The warm lazy days of sunshine [19:17.042]And brown rivers [19:18.113]winding through the meadows [19:21.146]are a tale of yesterday [19:28.526]The pilgrim sighs [19:30.671]And draws his mantle close [19:32.438]about him in the smoky evening [19:36.103]He watches the leaves wither and fall [19:40.979]Frost has rimmed the pools with ice [19:43.803]And hung diamonds [19:45.196]in the spider's web [19:48.681]For this is the turning of the year [19:52.721]The final scene before the curtain falls [19:57.832]And now beside the road there stands [20:03.478]the pilgrim of the year to be [20:10.250] [20:49.880]Falling leaves turn to gold [20:59.412]Silver flowers on my window [21:07.599]Spirit of the fading year [21:18.115]He knows not where [21:23.257]He cannot say
