Black Diamond Bay - Bob Dylan (鲍勃·迪伦)[00:00:00]
Written by:Bob Dylan/Jacques Levy[00:00:01]
Up on the white veranda[00:00:48]
She wears a necktie and a panama hat[00:00:50]
Her passport shows a face[00:00:58]
From another time and place[00:01:00]
She looks nothin' like that[00:01:02]
And all of the remnants of her recent past[00:01:08]
Are scattered in the wild wind[00:01:12]
She walks across the marble floor[00:01:15]
Where a voice from the gambling room is callin' her[00:01:17]
To come on in[00:01:20]
She smiles walks the other way[00:01:22]
As the last ship sails and the moon fades away[00:01:27]
From black diamond bay[00:01:32]
As the mornin' light breaks open the greek comes down[00:01:37]
And he asks for a rope and a pen that[00:01:41]
Will write[00:01:43]
Pardon monsieur the desk clerk says[00:01:47]
Carefully removes his fez[00:01:50]
Am I hearin' you right[00:01:52]
And as the yellow fog is liftin'[00:01:57]
The greek is quickly headin' for the second floor[00:01:59]
She passes him on the spiral staircase[00:02:04]
Thinkin' he's the soviet ambassador[00:02:07]
She starts to speak but he walks away[00:02:12]
As the storm clouds rise and the palm branches sway[00:02:17]
On black diamond bay[00:02:22]
A soldier sits beneath the fan[00:02:27]
Doin' business with a tiny man who sells him a[00:02:29]
Ring[00:02:33]
Lightning strikes the lights blow out[00:02:37]
The desk clerk wakes she begins to shout[00:02:40]
Can you see anything[00:02:42]
Then the Greek appears on the second floor[00:02:47]
In his bare feet with a rope around his neck[00:02:49]
While a loser in the gambling room lights up a[00:02:55]
Candle[00:02:58]
Says open up another deck[00:02:59]
But the dealer says attendez vous s'il vous plait[00:03:02]
As the rain beats down and the cranes fly away[00:03:07]
From black diamond bay[00:03:12]
The desk clerk heard the woman laugh[00:03:17]
As he looked around than the aftermath and the soldier got[00:03:19]
Tough[00:03:23]
He tried to grab the woman's hand[00:03:26]
Said here's a ring it cost a grand[00:03:29]
She said that ain't enough[00:03:31]
Then she ran upstairs to pack her bags[00:03:36]
While a horse drawn taxi waited at the curb[00:03:39]
She passed the door that the Greek had locked[00:03:44]
Where a handwritten sign read do not disturb[00:03:46]
She knocked upon it anyway[00:03:51]
As the sun went down and the music did play[00:03:56]
On black diamond bay[00:04:01]
I've got to talk to someone quick[00:04:06]
But the Greek said go away and he kicked the[00:04:09]
Chair to the floor[00:04:11]
He hung there from the chandelier[00:04:16]
She cried a help there's danger near[00:04:18]
Please open up at the door[00:04:21]
Then the volcano erupted[00:04:26]
And the lava flowed down from the mountain high above[00:04:28]
The soldier and the tiny man were crouched in the[00:04:33]
Corner[00:04:37]
Thinking of forbidden love[00:04:38]
The desk clerk said it happens every day[00:04:41]
As the stars fell down and the fields burned away[00:04:45]
On black diamond bay[00:04:50]
As the island slowly sank[00:04:56]
The loser finally broke the bank in the gambling room[00:04:58]
The dealer said it's too late now[00:05:05]
You can take your money but I don't know how[00:05:08]
You'll spend it in the tomb[00:05:10]
The tiny man bit the soldier's ear[00:05:15]
As the floor caved in and the boiler in the[00:05:17]
Basement blew[00:05:21]
Well she's out on the balcony where a stranger tells[00:05:23]
Her[00:05:27]
My darling je vous aime beaucoup[00:05:27]
She sheds a tear and then begins to pray[00:05:30]
As the fire burns on and the smoke drifts away[00:05:35]
From black diamond bay[00:05:40]
I was sittin' home alone one night in L A[00:05:45]
Watchin' old cronkite on the seven o'clock news[00:05:48]
It seems there was an earthquake that[00:05:55]
Left nothin' but a panama hat[00:05:57]
And a pair of old greek shoes[00:05:59]
Didn't seem like much was happenin'[00:06:04]
So I turned it off and went to grab another[00:06:07]
Beer[00:06:10]
Seems like every time you turn around[00:06:12]
There's another hard luck story that you're gonna' hear[00:06:14]
And there's really nothin' anyone can say[00:06:19]
And I never did plan to go anyway[00:06:24]
To black diamond bay[00:06:29]
