Isle of Hope, Isle of Tears 歌词
Shawn Cuddy - Isle Of Hope
Lyrics: Cliff-Lonely
Composer: Unknown
On the first day of January 1892
They opened Ellis Island and they let the people through
and the first to cross the threshold of that
Isle of hope and tears
Was Annie Moore from Ireland
who's only 15 years
Isle of hope isle of tears
Isle of freedom isle of fears
But it's not the isle left behind
That isle of hunger isle of pain
Isle you'll never see again
But the isle of home is aways on your mind
In a little bag she carried all her past and history
and the dreams for the future in the land of liberty
And courage is the passport when your old world disappears
But there is no future in the past when you were 15 years
Isle of hope isle of tears
Isle of freedom isle of fears
But it's not the isle left behind
That isle of hunger isle of pain
Isle you'll never see again
But the isle of home is always on your mind
When they closed down Ellis Island in 1943
17 million people had come there for sanctuary
and in spring time when I came there
and I stepped onto its piers
I thought of how it must have been
when you were 15 years
Isle of hope isle of tears
Isle of freedom isle of fears
but it's not the isle left behind
That isle of hunger isle of pain
Isle you'll never see again
But the isle of home is always on your mind
Isle of hope isle of tears
Isle of freedom isle of fears
But it's not the isle left behind
That isle of hunger isle of pain
Isle you'll never see again
But the isle of home is always on your mind
