	[ti:Queen and the Soldier]
[00:00.00]	作曲 : Suzanne Vega
[00:19.00]	The soldier came knocking upon the queen's door
[00:25.00]	He said, 'I am not fighting for you any more'
[00:30.00]	The queen knew she'd seen his face someplace before
[00:35.00]	And slowly she let him inside.
[00:38.00]	He said, 'I've watched your palace up here on the hill
[00:44.00]	And I've wondered who's the woman for whom we all kill
[00:50.00]	But I am leaving tomorrow and you can do what you will
[00:54.00]	Only first I am asking you why.'
[01:00.00]	Down in the long narrow hall he was led
[01:04.00]	Into her rooms with her tapestries red
[01:09.00]	And she never once took the crown from her head
[01:15.00]	She asked him there to sit down.
[01:23.00]	He said, 'I see you now, and you are so very young
[01:26.00]	But I've seen more battles lost than I have battles won
[01:30.00]	And I've got this intuition, says it's all for your fun
[01:35.00]	And now will you tell me why?'
[01:42.00]	The young queen, she fixed him with an arrogant eye
[01:45.00]	She said, 'You won't understand, and you may as well not try'
[01:50.00]	But her face was a child's, and he thought she would cry
[01:55.00]	But she closed herself up like a fan.
[02:00.00]	And she said, 'I've swallowed a secret burning thread
[02:05.00]	It cuts me inside, and often I've bled'
[02:11.00]	He laid his hand then on top of her head
[02:15.00]	And he bowed her down to the ground.
[02:39.00]	' Tell me how hungry are you? How weak you must feel“
[02:43.00]	As you are living here alone, and you are never revealed
[02:49.00]	But I won't march again on your battlefield'
[02:55.00]	And he took her to the window to see.
[02:59.00]	And the sun, it was gold, though the sky, it was gray
[03:04.00]	And she wanted more than she ever could say
[03:09.00]	But she knew how it frightened her, and she turned away
[03:14.00]	And would not look at his face again.
[03:19.00]	And he said, 'I want to live as an honest man
[03:24.00]	To get all I deserve and to give all I can
[03:27.00]	And to love a young woman who I don't understand
[03:33.00]	Your highness, your ways are very strange.'
[03:40.00]	But the crown, it had fallen, and she thought she would break
[03:46.00]	And she stood there, ashamed of the way her heart ached
[03:52.00]	She took him to the doorstep and she asked him to wait
[03:55.00]	She would only be a moment inside.
[04:00.00]	Out in the distance her order was heard
[04:04.00]	And the soldier was killed, still waiting for her word
[04:11.00]	And while the queen went on strangeling in the solitude she preferred
[04:15.00]	The battle continued on
