All This Time (《末日之舰》音乐剧歌曲) - Michael Esper/The Last Ship Ensemble[00:00:00]

Written by：Sting[00:00:04]

I looked out across[00:00:13]

The river today[00:00:17]

Saw a city in the fog[00:00:20]

And an old church tower seagulls play[00:00:23]

Saw the sad shire horses walking home[00:00:28]

In the sodium light[00:00:31]

And a pale sun shrinks from the empty streets[00:00:35]

And day falls into night[00:00:38]

All this time[00:00:42]

The river flowed[00:00:46]

Endlessly[00:00:49]

To the sea[00:00:52]

Wallsend[00:00:54]

Oh yeah Wallsend[00:00:55]

More like the world's end[00:00:58]

Our teachers told us[00:01:00]

The Romans built this place[00:01:03]

Built a wall and a temple[00:01:07]

At an edge of the empire garrison town[00:01:09]

They lived and they died[00:01:13]

And they prayed to their gods[00:01:16]

But the stone gods did not make a sound[00:01:17]

And their empire crumbled till[00:01:21]

All that was left[00:01:23]

Were these stones the workmen found[00:01:25]

All this time[00:01:28]

The river flowed[00:01:32]

Endlessly[00:01:36]

To the sea[00:01:39]

If I had my way[00:01:42]

I'd take a boat from river[00:01:46]

And I'd bury the old man[00:01:49]

I'd bury him at sea[00:01:53]

Nothing's ever changed 'round here[00:01:57]

Not in ten thousand years I fear[00:02:00]

Same bend in the river[00:02:04]

Where the tide slows down[00:02:06]

And the seagulls circle this dirty old town[00:02:07]

So I ask myself[00:02:11]

Why the hell would I stay[00:02:13]

Just churches and pubs[00:02:15]

Where drink or you pray[00:02:16]

And the sky's still the same old battleship gray[00:02:18]

If only the pubs stayed open all day[00:02:22]

All this time[00:02:25]

The river flowed[00:02:29]

In the falling light[00:02:32]

Of a northern sun[00:02:36]

Well I had my way[00:02:39]

I took a boat from the river[00:02:43]

'Cause men go crazy congregations[00:02:46]

They only get better[00:02:48]

One by one[00:02:50]

One by one[00:02:54]

One by one by born[00:02:57]

One by one[00:03:01]

I looked out across[00:03:04]

The river today[00:03:07]
