Ballad Of A Runaway Horse (2007 Remastered Album Version) - Emmylou Harris (爱美萝·哈里斯)[00:00:00]
Say a prayer for the cowgirl her horse ran away[00:00:04]
She'll walk 'til she finds him her darlin' her stray[00:00:10]
But the river's in flood and the roads are awash[00:00:15]
And the bridges break up in the panic of loss[00:00:21]
And there's nothin' to follow nowhere to go[00:00:31]
He's gone like the summer gone like the snow[00:00:36]
And the crickets are breaking her heart with their song[00:00:41]
As the day caves in and the night is all wrong[00:00:46]
Did she dream it was he who went galloping past[00:00:57]
And bent down the fern broke open the grass[00:01:02]
And printed the mud with the well hammered shoe[00:01:07]
That she nailed to his speed in the dreams of her youth[00:01:12]
And although he goes grazin' a minute away[00:01:22]
She tracks him all night she tracks him all day[00:01:28]
And she's blind to his presence except to compare[00:01:33]
Her injury here with his punishment there[00:01:38]
Then at home on a branch on a high stream[00:01:49]
A songbird sings out so suddenly[00:01:54]
And the sun is warm and the soft winds ride[00:01:59]
On a willow tree by the riverside[00:02:04]
An the world is sweet and world is wide[00:02:14]
And he's there where the light and the darkness divide[00:02:19]
And the steam's comin' off him he's huge and he's shy[00:02:25]
And he steps on the moon when he paws at the sky[00:02:30]
And he comes to her hand but he's nor really tame[00:02:40]
He longs to be lost she longs for the same[00:02:45]
And he'll bolt and he'll plunge thru the first open pass[00:02:51]
To roll and to feed in the sweet mountain grass[00:02:56]
Or he'll make a break for the high plateau[00:03:06]
Where there's nothing above and noting below[00:03:12]
It's time for their burden the whip and the spur[00:03:17]
Will she ride with him if we are[00:03:22]
Or will he ride with her[00:03:26]
So she binds herself to her galloping steed[00:03:32]
And he binds himself to the woman in need[00:03:38]
And there is no space just left and right[00:03:42]
And there is no time but there is day and night[00:03:48]
Then she learns on his neck and whispers low[00:03:58]
Whither thou goest I will go[00:04:04]
And they turn as one[00:04:08]
And they head for the plain[00:04:11]
No need for the whip oh no need for the rain[00:04:13]
Now the clasp of this union who fastens it tight[00:04:24]
Who snaps it asunder the very next night[00:04:29]
Some say it's him some say it's her[00:04:35]
Some say love's like smoke beyond all repair[00:04:39]
So my darlin' my darlin' just let go by[00:04:50]
That old silhouette on the great western sky[00:04:55]
And I'll pick out a tune and they'll move right along[00:05:01]
And they're gone like smoke[00:05:06]
And they're gone like this song[00:05:10]
Say a prayer for the cowgirl[00:05:16]
