歌曲Like William McKinley

艺人: Al Stewart

音乐星级★★★

所属专辑: Sparks of Ancient Light

发行年代: 2008

风格: Folk

相关介绍: 曾经长发飘逸、英俊迷人的苏格兰民谣歌手艾尔史都华(Al Stewart)以其知性而从容的演唱风格在上世纪七十年代的英国民谣领域独树一帜。在他的歌声里,你可以感受到中产阶级白人特有的自负和嘻皮式的处世态度,而歌曲的主题,是总也离不开自省、敏感、浪漫和忏悔这样的内容的。这是上一代人的声音,虽没有The Beatles和Paul Simon那样如雷贯耳,却也能使你如同沐浴在伦敦的细雨中。如今的Al Stewart已经是个略微发福的老头子了,他现在沉迷于红酒收藏,偶尔举办酒会,抱着那把老吉它,唱唱曾经打动无数歌迷的温柔歌谣……

歌词

Song:Like William McKinley
Artist:Al Stewart

I got a letter; it came in the mail today
I saw by the stamp it was written an ocean away
No need to open it, I know what it must say
I’ll just go back to the dream I was having
Before love went astray

I’ll sit on my porch like William McKinley
And I’ll let the world come to me
And if it’s too busy, I really don’t mind and
There’s no place I want to be

Now and again, I will open a window and
Stare at the overcast sky
And put you away in a drawer in my mind
And I’ll just bid all of my troubles goodbye

The country ‘round here is deserted; there’s no one at all
People come here in the summer and leave in the fall
You followed after them, disappeared into the night
Now all that’s left is the footprint you made
In the mud, frozen in white

I’ll sit on my porch like William McKinley
And I’ll let the world come to me
And if it’s too busy, I really don’t mind and
There’s no place I’ll want to be

Now and again, I will open and window and
Stare at the overcast sky
And put you away in a drawer in my mind
And I’ll just bid all of my troubles goodbye

(repeat chorus)
