Three Mules - Al Stewart (阿尔·史蒂伍德)[00:00:00]

Three mules came over a hill[00:00:04]

They were dragging a cart[00:00:07]

Creaking it seemed to be falling apart[00:00:11]

Laden with millions of dreams[00:00:15]

It weighed more than they thought[00:00:18]

They never noticed the wheels getting caught[00:00:21]

They pulled on staring ahead[00:00:25]

With blinkered eyes and lowered heads[00:00:29]

Hoping that all would be fine[00:00:34]

I see them now[00:00:37]

Time out of time[00:00:40]

Ramsey and Stanley and Neville[00:00:45]

Were the names of the mules[00:00:48]

Each wore a bridle encrusted with jewels[00:00:51]

And though a murmur of voices[00:00:56]

Was rising behind[00:00:58]

Each laboured on[00:01:02]

And they paid it no mind[00:01:04]

They pulled on with never a doubt[00:01:06]

Past boulders and holes[00:01:09]

Till the road petered out[00:01:11]

And giving a snort they sat down[00:01:15]

Waiting for somebody else to come round[00:01:18]

And from this are our lives writ large[00:01:23]

From the beach at Dunkirk[00:01:26]

To Pickett's Charge[00:01:29]

And it's hard to go back[00:01:31]

After coming this far[00:01:33]

Down the road[00:01:38]

Three mules looked over a fence[00:01:47]

At the field beyond[00:01:50]

Green as a forest it shone in the sun[00:01:54]

Into the stillness they broke[00:01:58]

Like a stone in a pond[00:02:00]

And kicking the gate down[00:02:04]

They brayed at the ground[00:02:06]

And pulled on tugging a dream[00:02:08]

Out of a smile and into a scream[00:02:12]

And tossed the damp soil all around[00:02:17]

Until the whole field turned muddy brown[00:02:20]

And from this are our lives writ large[00:02:25]

From the beach at Dunkirk[00:02:28]

To Pickett's Charge[00:02:31]

And it's hard to go back[00:02:33]

After coming this far[00:02:35]

Down the road[00:02:40]

Ah but it's not very easy now being a mule[00:02:49]

I don't believe you appreciate all that we do[00:02:58]

Look at this long and unfortunate face[00:03:06]

Try to imagine that you're in my place[00:03:11]

This is my nature[00:03:15]

And to it I have to be true[00:03:17]

Three mules came over a hill[00:04:00]

With a sorrowful air[00:04:03]

Though we've been judged they said[00:04:07]

It's hardly fair[00:04:09]

All that we did was for you[00:04:11]

And the good of the 'cause[00:04:13]

Then they went back to the sound of applause[00:04:17]

They went back into the night[00:04:21]

Where a sickle of moon[00:04:24]

Left a trickle of light[00:04:26]

And while we lay under our roofs[00:04:30]

The whole night filled up[00:04:33]

With the beating of hooves[00:04:35]

And from this are our lives writ large[00:04:38]

From the beach at Dunkirk[00:04:41]

To Pickett's Charge[00:04:44]

And it's hard to go back[00:04:46]

After coming this far[00:04:48]

Down the road[00:04:53]

And from this are our lives writ large[00:05:01]

And every day[00:05:06]

Is Pickett's Charge[00:05:08]

And it's hard to go back[00:05:09]

After coming this far[00:05:12]

Down the road[00:05:17]
