Kingdom Of Childhood (Album Version) - Joan Baez (琼·贝兹)[00:00:00]

The ship that sails the seven seas[00:00:08]

Has finally brought me to my knees[00:00:15]

It's not much to my liking[00:00:20]

The people standing on the rock[00:00:26]

Are innocent and they know not[00:00:33]

That the tide comes in[00:00:38]

Death rides it like a Viking[00:00:40]

The mountains rise above the mist[00:00:46]

And the golden prince I've never kissed[00:00:53]

He may die tonight[00:00:59]

And why do I want to ride with[00:01:05]

The prince whose alleged horse is white [00:01:12]

Because when we ride together[00:01:17]

Our lives are cloaked forever[00:01:20]

Happiness is temporary[00:01:26]

Believe me I know[00:01:29]

It can arrive as a shining crystal[00:01:33]

And leave as the melting snow[00:01:36]

Come all you lads and lasses[00:01:41]

The Kingdom of Childhood passes[00:01:45]

Oh but I am hardy in these years[00:01:56]

Or I'd have sunk down with my tears[00:02:03]

To the earth beneath my feet[00:02:08]

I want to endure the slings and arrows[00:02:14]

That Hamlet spoke about[00:02:21]

But harrowed [00:02:24]

He was forced to a ragged defeat[00:02:26]

There was a method to his madness[00:02:34]

But overcome by pride and sadness[00:02:41]

He did not endure[00:02:46]

Surely his death was a grave mistake[00:02:52]

How many deaths do we really calculate [00:02:59]

Isn't it true Lord[00:03:05]

Tragedies happen when you're bored [00:03:08]

Happiness is temporary[00:03:15]

Believe me I know[00:03:18]

It can arrive as a shining crystal[00:03:21]

And leave as the melting snow[00:03:24]

Come all you lads and lasses[00:03:29]

The Kingdom of Childhood passes[00:03:32]

You archangels you have some nerve[00:03:44]

To watch all of this you are absurd[00:03:51]

You even have a choice[00:03:55]

Do you know all I think you may[00:04:02]

And what is there for you to say[00:04:10]

But understand[00:04:14]

Why God took back your voice[00:04:15]

SIlence is golden I believe[00:04:22]

And you are worth your weight[00:04:30]

In wreaths of purest gold[00:04:32]

While we are here with debts and bets[00:04:39]

And aircraft carriers and jets[00:04:48]

I call out fruitlessly[00:04:52]

Give me an archangel for company[00:04:55]

Happiness is temporary[00:05:02]

Believe me I know[00:05:04]

It can arrive as a shining crystal[00:05:09]

And leave as the melting snow[00:05:12]

Come all you lads and lasses[00:05:16]

The Kingdom of Childhood passes[00:05:20]

Me in the woods at the break of dawn[00:05:31]

The candles of the night still on[00:05:39]

The chimes ring from the hollow[00:05:43]

I too am worth my weight in gold[00:05:50]

But the fishmonger and I are old[00:05:57]

When the mint runs out[00:06:01]

Our real lives will follow[00:06:03]

It was misfortune who woke you up[00:06:09]

To pour you the dregs from her broken cup[00:06:16]

Cast her aside[00:06:21]

The sunrise will appear with the mockingbird[00:06:27]

Who stays deep in the canyon and is heard[00:06:34]

Glorious in his song[00:06:39]

He cannot be wrong[00:06:43]

Happiness is temporary[00:06:49]

Believe me I know[00:06:52]

It can arrive as a shining crystal[00:06:56]

And leave as the melting snow[00:06:59]

Come all you lads and lasses[00:07:04]

The Kingdom of Childhood passes[00:07:09]

There's another one just beyond[00:07:11]

Act quickly before it's gone[00:07:14]
