Out beyond the street lamps where the calliopes roar[00:00:13]
在路灯的外面 传来阵阵汽笛风琴的乐声[00:00:20]
Past the rack and samphire beyond the shore[00:00:20]
穿过栏杆 舢板 离岸而去[00:00:25]
I've seen them walking through the tide as rain cuts through the spray[00:00:25]

I stood behind them in the corner shop and in the market too[00:00:39]
我站在他们身后 在街角的商店里 在市场上[00:00:45]
I should have spoken to them told them everything I knew[00:00:45]
我应该去和他们搭话 告诉他们我所知道的一切[00:00:52]
Like our mothers told us as we went out to play[00:00:52]

Tales of crossing borders on the road to Morecambe Bay[00:01:36]

As between the river estuaries they raced the tide and lost[00:02:14]
