Beautiful Year 歌詞
Beautiful Year - Leo Sayer
Did I die
Did the sun fall out of the sky
Did a tear from an elephant's eye
Come and drown the world
Took away tomorrow
Did you hear
On the day that I disappeared
They were marching down in the street
They were changing things
Then I woke up here
To all the fear
The ending of a brilliant career
Yeah yeah
I left a book
Now it's gone I don't know where to look
And a coat that I left on a hook
And a thought I had
Seemed to last forever
Now I'm here
And I wish you'd all disappear
Oh the coast isn't awfully clear
And the bridge is burned
And I can't see clear
For all the fear
It could have been a beautiful year
Yeah yeah
If all our dreams are gone
In summer's fading song
For everyone here
This living in fear
It's so wrong
Can I go
Can I get me a ticket to show
I may walk just a little too slow
But I'll find my way
Across the barricades
So come along
'Cos I know that's where we belong
Something here is terribly wrong
So take a backward step
In the rear view mirror
And leave the fear
That killed off a beautiful year
Yeah yeah
If all our dreams are gone
In summer's fading song
Oh for everyone here
This living in fear
Yeah for everyone here
Still living in fear
Oh for everyone here
This living in fear
Is just plain wrong
So wrong
It's so wrong
So take a backward step in the rear view mirror
Find that happy place and reject the fear
We're being programmed into such a sorry state
Where we can't trust ourselves our friends our mates
But when you look at life the way it used to be
We wouldn't stand for this we'd just get up and leave
So don't just follow like a lost sheep
Make up your own mind 'bout who you'd like to be
Make a choice today and spread your love
Join with the earth and the sky above
Make everyday such a beautiful day
And don't allow these fools to get in your way
Greet your neighbor with a shake of the hand
Go to your enemy with a peaceful plan
And if you do all this I swear you'll be
Content and free
And as happy as me
