Lyrics

[00:00.00] 作曲 : Natalie Merchant
[00:01.00] 作词 : Emily Dickinson
[03:07.18][00:11.46] Because I could not stop for Death,
[03:13.68][00:17.45] He kindly stopped for me;
[03:18.27][00:21.99] The carriage held but just ourselves
[03:23.81][00:27.85] And Immortality.
[00:37.68]
[00:39.90] We slowly drove, he knew no haste,
[00:45.70] And I had put away
[00:50.58] My labour, and my leisure too,
[00:56.37] For his civility.
[01:07.48]
[01:08.84] We passed the school where children played,
[01:14.81] Their lessons scarcely done;
[01:19.04] We passed the fields of gazing grain,
[01:25.20] We passed the setting sun.
[01:36.70]
[01:38.01] We paused before a house that seemed
[01:44.72] A swelling of the ground;
[01:48.58] The roof was scarcely visible,
[01:54.02] The cornice but a mound.
[02:04.27]
[02:06.95] Since then 'tis centuries; but each
[02:11.41] Feels shorter than the day
[02:17.97] I first surmised the horses' heads
[02:23.45] Were toward eternity.
