[00:00.000] 作词 : Stan Rogers [00:00.320] 作曲 : Stan Rogers [00:00.640]Ah, for just one time [00:04.872]I would take the Northwest Passage [00:09.156]To find the hand of Franklin [00:12.604]Reaching for the Beaufort Sea [00:16.575]Tracing one warm line [00:20.806]Through a land so wild and savage [00:25.143]And make a Northwest Passage to the sea [00:33.188]Westward from the Davis Strait [00:36.480]'Tis there 'twas said to lie [00:40.764]The sea route to the Orient [00:44.186]For which so many died [00:48.470]Seeking gold and glory, [00:51.135]Leaving weathered, broken bones [00:54.792]And a long-forgotten lonely cairn of stones [01:01.688]Ah, for just one time [01:06.730]I would take the Northwest Passage [01:11.197]To find the hand of Franklin [01:14.619]Reaching for the Beaufort Sea [01:18.772]Tracing one warm line [01:22.847]Through a land so wild and savage [01:27.445]And make a Northwest Passage to the sea [01:34.837]Three centuries thereafter [01:38.129]I take passage overland [01:42.491]In the footsteps of brave Kelso [01:45.940]Where his "sea of flowers" began [01:50.093]Watching cities rise before me [01:53.254]Then behind me sink again [01:57.564]This tardiest explorer [02:01.273]Driving hard across the plain [02:05.192]Ah, for just one time [02:09.424]I would take the Northwest Passage [02:13.891]To find the hand of Franklin [02:17.208]Reaching for the Beaufort Sea [02:21.518]Tracing one warm line [02:25.620]Through a land so wild and savage [02:30.008]And make a Northwest Passage to the sea [02:37.819]And through the night, behind the wheel [02:41.737]The mileage clicking west [02:45.055]I think upon Mackenzie, [02:48.033]David Thompson and the rest [02:51.925]Who cracked the mountain ramparts [02:55.295]And did show a path for me [02:59.918]To race the roaring Fraser to the sea [03:06.423]Ah, for just one time [03:11.647]I would take the Northwest Passage [03:16.114]To find the hand of Franklin [03:19.458]Reaching for the Beaufort Sea [03:23.716]Tracing one warm line [03:27.948]Through a land so wild and savage [03:32.415]And make a Northwest Passage to the sea [03:39.990]How then am I so different [03:43.125]From the first men through this way? [03:47.748]Like them, I left a settled life [03:51.327]I threw it all away [03:54.775]To seek a Northwest Passage [03:57.832]At the call of many men [04:02.194]To find there but the road back home again [04:08.777]Ah, for just one time [04:14.054]I would take the Northwest Passage [04:18.756]To find the hand of Franklin [04:22.230]Reaching for the Beaufort Sea [04:26.566]Tracing one warm line [04:31.060]Through a land so wild and savage [04:35.709]And make a Northwest Passage to the sea
