歌曲 | After The Fall |
歌手 | Ray Davies |
专辑 | Other People's Lives |
I just had a really bad fall | |
And this time it was harder to get up than before | |
I shouted to the heavens and a vision appeared | |
I cried out, “ | |
Can you help?” it replied, "Not at all" | |
After the fall is over | |
You'll be on your own | |
After the fall is over | |
There'll be wrecks to clear in this war zone | |
There'll be much to clean and time to atone | |
But while it's dark you can shelter here | |
In the bleak midwinter when you're feeling the fear | |
Ah, but when the mist clears, the sun will shine again | |
A life's gotta have direction after the deals are done | |
You gotta ask the question, ask yourself why you go through it all | |
When morality kicks in, who will catch you when you fall? | |
I'm a sinner waiting at the traveler's rest | |
Seeking refuge from the storm, and | |
I'm a grateful guest | |
Then a prophet cries out in high platitudes | |
I smile and say, "Hey, I was just passing through" | |
Then an angel cries, "Wait, we'll tell you when to move" | |
Even at the gates of | |
Heaven, I'll be waiting in a queue | |
Seems like | |
I'm falling upwards into the great white blue | |
And all my imperfections, you can learn your lines and fabricate a show | |
But the way we come in, yeah, that's the way we're gonna go | |
We cheat and lie to conquer our fears | |
We can put on a smile just to cover up the tears | |
Ah, but when the mist clears, the sun will shine again | |
After the fall(After the fall is over) | |
There'll be a better day | |
After the fall is over | |
So, I fell on my arse, now, | |
I'm feeling the pain | |
But the feeling will pass and so will the shame | |
The bigger the ego, the bigger the fall | |
When your reputation counts for nothing at all | |
Ah, but when the mist clears, the sun will shine again | |
I will greet you when the sun shines again | |
After the fall(After the fall is over) | |
There'll be a better day | |
After the fall is over |
I just had a really bad fall | |
And this time it was harder to get up than before | |
I shouted to the heavens and a vision appeared | |
I cried out, " | |
Can you help?" it replied, " Not at all" | |
After the fall is over | |
You' ll be on your own | |
After the fall is over | |
There' ll be wrecks to clear in this war zone | |
There' ll be much to clean and time to atone | |
But while it' s dark you can shelter here | |
In the bleak midwinter when you' re feeling the fear | |
Ah, but when the mist clears, the sun will shine again | |
A life' s gotta have direction after the deals are done | |
You gotta ask the question, ask yourself why you go through it all | |
When morality kicks in, who will catch you when you fall? | |
