Before The Deluge - Jackson Browne (杰克逊·布朗)[00:00:00]

Some of them were dreamers[00:00:37]

And some of them were fools[00:00:42]

Who were making plans and thinking of the future[00:00:46]

With the energy of the innocent[00:00:55]

They were gathering the tools[00:00:59]

They would need to make their journey back to nature[00:01:04]

While the sand slipped through the opening[00:01:13]

And their hands reached for the golden ring[00:01:17]

With their hearts they turned to each other's heart for refuge[00:01:21]

In the troubled years that came before the deluge[00:01:31]

Some of them knew pleasure[00:01:40]

And some of them knew pain[00:01:45]

And for some of them it was only the moment that mattered[00:01:49]

And on the brave and crazy wings of youth[00:01:57]

They went flying around in the rain[00:02:02]

And their feathers once so fine grew torn and tattered[00:02:07]

And in the end they traded their tired wings[00:02:15]

For the resignation that living brings[00:02:20]

And exchanged love's bright and fragile glow[00:02:24]

For the glitter and the rouge[00:02:29]

And in the moment they were swept before the deluge[00:02:34]

Now let the music keep our spirits high[00:02:41]

And let the buildings keep our children dry[00:02:50]

Let creation reveal it's secrets by and by[00:02:56]

By and by[00:03:04]

When the light that's lost within us reaches the sky[00:03:09]

Some of them were angry[00:03:19]

At the way the earth was abused[00:03:22]

By the men who learned how to forge her beauty into power[00:03:27]

And they struggled to protect her from them[00:03:36]

Only to be confused[00:03:41]

By the magnitude of her fury in the final hour[00:03:44]

And when the sand was gone and the time arrived[00:03:53]

In the naked dawn only a few survived[00:03:57]

And in attempts to understand a thing so simple and so huge[00:04:02]

Believed that they were meant to live after the deluge[00:04:11]

Now let the music keep our spirits high[00:04:19]

And let the buildings keep our children dry[00:04:28]

Let creation reveal it's secrets by and by[00:04:34]

By and by[00:04:42]

When the light that's lost within us reaches the sky[00:04:47]
