[00:00.00]	Ellis Island (LP版) - MARC COHN
[00:16.05]	I was driving down Ninth Avenue
[00:22.00]	As the sky was getting dark
[00:28.60]	Didn't have nothin' else to do
[00:32.69]	So I kept on riding to Battery Park
[00:39.39]	I stepped out in the damp and misty night
[00:45.71]	As the fog was rolling in
[00:52.87]	Man said “Last boat leaving tonight
[00:57.64]	Is the boat for Ellis Island”
[01:16.23]	As my feet touch solid ground
[01:22.09]	I felt a chill run down my spine
[01:29.44]	I could almost hear the sound
[01:33.70]	Of thousands pushing through the lines
[01:40.92]	Mothers and bewildered wives
[01:45.21]	That sailed across the raging sea
[01:53.94]	Others running for their lives
[01:57.80]	To the land of opportunity
[02:04.12]	Down on Ellis Island
[02:12.91]	“What is this strange paradise ”
[02:17.37]	They must've wondered through their cries and moans
[02:24.14]	After all they've sacrificed
[02:28.05]	Their faith their families friends and homes
[02:39.67]	Then on the separation stairs
[02:43.82]	They were counted out or counted in
[02:52.41]	Frozen while the inspectors stared
[02:57.70]	Down on Ellis Island
[03:02.73]	Down on Ellis Island
[03:36.11]	Me I only stumbled in
[03:40.35]	Just to wander around that empty hall
[03:48.94]	Where someone else's fate had been
[03:53.48]	Decided in no time at all
[04:00.47]	And cases filled with hats and clothes
[04:04.37]	And the belongings of those who journeyed far
[04:13.04]	Their strange reminders I suppose
[04:18.05]	Of where we're from and who we are
[04:25.00]	But as the boat pulled off the shore
[04:28.86]	I could see the fog was lifting
[04:38.16]	And lights I'd never seen before
[04:41.96]	Were shining down on Ellis Island
[04:48.17]	Shining down on Ellis Island
