Cold Hands From New York (来自纽约的冰冷双手) - Gordon Lightfoot[00:00:00]

Written by：Gordon Lightfoot[00:00:00]

I came down through Albany to New York[00:00:10]

To find what I'd been missin'[00:00:13]

I looked across the river to the city[00:00:16]

Where the windows all stood glistenin'[00:00:20]

I stood listenin'[00:00:23]

Into a tunnel I did rise like a grave inside[00:00:26]

But I was young and able[00:00:29]

When I came out the other end[00:00:33]

Of through the smoke the winter light was feeble[00:00:35]

Unreadable[00:00:39]

I was optimistic though a cabbie told me where to go[00:00:42]

I thanked him[00:00:46]

A face of white a face of brown[00:00:49]

Ah here a smile and there a look of danger[00:00:51]

For a stranger[00:00:55]

It was too unreal for me[00:00:58]

I found no one who trusted me[00:01:00]

There was no man could offer me[00:01:03]

A cold hand from New York[00:01:05]

Cold hands from New York[00:01:12]

A voice within you cries[00:01:14]

Won't someone please help me[00:01:15]

I'll do the same for you one day[00:01:19]

If you should ever pass my way and need me[00:01:21]

I came down to live alone in New York[00:01:37]

The city of the living[00:01:41]

There were fortunes at my feet but the most of men[00:01:44]

Were taking none we giving[00:01:47]

Or forgiving[00:01:50]

Children ran and children played and roses grew in alleyways[00:01:53]

I saw them[00:01:57]

There were men who lived in style and others who had died[00:02:00]

Where no one knew them[00:02:04]

Beause they couldn't win[00:02:06]

There were parks where old men slept and dingy rooms[00:02:09]

Where babies crept unwanted[00:02:12]

Till I began to ask myself if there were hope[00:02:16]

Or if it mattered what they did[00:02:19]

Or if they lived[00:02:22]

It was too unreal for me[00:02:25]

I found no one who trusted me[00:02:27]

There was no man could offer me[00:02:30]

A cold hand from New York[00:02:32]

Cold hands from New York[00:02:39]

A voice within you cries[00:02:41]

Won't someone please help me[00:02:42]

I'll do the same for you one day[00:02:46]

If you should ever pass my way and need me[00:02:48]

I came down through Albany to New York[00:03:04]

To find what I'd been missin'[00:03:08]

I looked across the river to the city[00:03:11]

Where the windows all stood glistenin'[00:03:14]

I stood listenin'[00:03:17]

And there were prophets in the squares[00:03:20]

And people there who smiled and said[00:03:22]

Forget it[00:03:25]

There were lovers in the park[00:03:27]

And there was danger in the dark I felt it[00:03:29]

So afraid of it[00:03:34]

And there were preachers of the word and poets[00:03:36]

Who were never heard I heard them[00:03:39]

There were those who would not try to learn[00:03:43]

The measure of the lie they're livin'[00:03:46]

And I heard a young musician play in a place[00:03:50]

Where they paid you not to listen[00:03:53]

I heard a woman scream for help while men stood by[00:03:57]

And offered their best wishes[00:04:00]

That's how it is[00:04:03]

It was too unreal for me[00:04:06]

I found no one who trusted me[00:04:08]

There was no man could offer me[00:04:11]

A cold hand from New York[00:04:13]

Cold hands from New York[00:04:20]

A voice within you cries[00:04:22]

Won't someone please help me[00:04:23]

I'll do the same for you one day[00:04:27]

If you should ever pass my way and need me[00:04:29]

Cold hands from New York[00:04:34]

A voice within you cries[00:04:35]

Won't someone please help me[00:04:37]

I'll do the same for you one day[00:04:40]

If you should ever pass my way and need me[00:04:43]

Cold hands from New York[00:04:47]

A voice within you cries[00:04:49]

Won't someone please help me[00:04:51]

I'll do the same for you one day[00:04:54]

If you should ever pass my way and need me[00:04:57]
