Ellis Island (埃利斯岛) (LP版) - MARC COHN[00:00:00]

I was driving down Ninth Avenue[00:00:16]

As the sky was getting dark[00:00:22]

Didn't have nothin' else to do[00:00:28]

So I kept on riding to Battery Park[00:00:32]

I stepped out in the damp and misty night[00:00:39]

As the fog was rolling in[00:00:45]

Man said “Last boat leaving tonight[00:00:52]

Is the boat for Ellis Island”[00:00:57]

As my feet touch solid ground[00:01:16]

I felt a chill run down my spine[00:01:22]

I could almost hear the sound[00:01:29]

Of thousands pushing through the lines[00:01:33]

Mothers and bewildered wives[00:01:40]

That sailed across the raging sea[00:01:45]

Others running for their lives[00:01:53]

To the land of opportunity[00:01:57]

Down on Ellis Island[00:02:04]

“What is this strange paradise ”[00:02:12]

They must've wondered through their cries and moans[00:02:17]

After all they've sacrificed[00:02:24]

Their faith their families friends and homes[00:02:28]

Then on the separation stairs[00:02:39]

They were counted out or counted in[00:02:43]

Frozen while the inspectors stared[00:02:52]

Down on Ellis Island[00:02:57]

Down on Ellis Island[00:03:02]

Me I only stumbled in[00:03:36]

Just to wander around that empty hall[00:03:40]

Where someone else's fate had been[00:03:48]

Decided in no time at all[00:03:53]

And cases filled with hats and clothes[00:04:00]

And the belongings of those who journeyed far[00:04:04]

Their strange reminders I suppose[00:04:13]

Of where we're from and who we are[00:04:18]

But as the boat pulled off the shore[00:04:25]

I could see the fog was lifting[00:04:28]

And lights I'd never seen before[00:04:38]

Were shining down on Ellis Island[00:04:41]

Shining down on Ellis Island[00:04:48]
