Lyrics

[00:00.00] 作曲 : Brian Eno/Paul Simon
[00:01.00] 作词 : Brian Eno/Paul Simonv
[00:19.05] Once upon a time, there was an ocean
[00:24.04] But now it's a mountain range
[00:28.25] Something unstoppable set into motion
[00:32.91] Nothing is different, but everything's changed
[00:38.17]
[00:46.78] It's a dead-end job, and you get tired of sittin'
[00:51.11] It's like a nicotine habit
[00:53.22] You're always thinkin' about quittin'
[00:55.63] And I think about quittin' everyday of the week
[01:00.21] When I look out my window, it's brown and it's bleak
[01:05.69] Outta here
[01:07.22] How'm I gonna get outta here?
[01:08.98] I'm thinking outta here
[01:11.69] When am I gonna get outta here?
[01:14.74] And when will I cash in my lottery ticket
[01:19.02] And bury my past with my burdens and strife?
[01:23.61] I want to shake every limb in the Garden of Eden
[01:28.58] And make every lover the love of my life
[01:32.83] I figure that once upon a time, I was an ocean
[01:37.88] But now I'm a mountain range
[01:42.71] Something unstoppable set into motion
[01:47.81] Nothing is different, but everything's changed
[01:52.46]
[01:57.42] Found a room in the heart of the city, down by the bridge
[02:01.84] Hot plate and TV and beer in the fridge
[02:05.95] But I'm easy, I'm open–that's my gift
[02:10.31] I can flow with the traffic, I can drift with the drift
[02:15.44] Home again?
[02:17.06] Naw, never going home again
[02:19.48] Think about home again?
[02:21.35] I never think about home
[02:23.66] But then comes a letter from home
[02:29.42] The handwriting's fragile and strange
[02:34.08] Something unstoppable set into motion
[02:38.48] Nothing is different, but everything's changed
[02:44.96]
[02:59.40] The light through the stain glass was cobalt and red
[03:08.21] And the frayed cuffs and collars
[03:12.06] Were mended by halos of golden thread
[03:16.56] The choir sang, "Once Upon a Time There Was an Ocean"
[03:21.58] And all the old hymns and family names
[03:25.97] Came fluttering down leaves of emotion
[03:31.44] As nothing is different, but everything's changed
[03:36.60]
