[00:01.00] 作词 : CARPENTER, MARY
[00:13.19] Back when I believed in luck
[00:16.14] And stones and crosses
[00:19.70] I''d put a coin found on the street
[00:22.20] Towards cosmic losses
[00:23.45]
[00:26.01] And passing graveyards in a car
[00:28.51]
[00:29.58] Tracing every falling star
[00:31.26]
[00:32.82] Luck was never very far from childhood causes
[00:36.95]
[00:38.01] And pennies kissed with wishes arced into the fountains
[00:43.45]
[00:45.20] And time was said to heal all pain
[00:49.08]
[00:51.83] And hope move mountains
[00:53.58]
[00:55.58] And all that could befall a heart
[00:58.78] Or break this perfect life apart
[01:00.78] The swords we carried could not do a thing about them
[01:04.09]
[01:05.72] Away I am going' away I am gone
[01:16.97]
[01:21.22] Ghosts and angels are but memories and visions
[01:25.72]
[01:27.59] And revenants are out there taking up positions
[01:31.91]
[01:34.84] But back when I believed in you
[01:37.73] You''d raise the sun and set the moon
[01:40.73] How could I help but love you holy as religion
[01:43.69]
[01:48.06] Away you are going' away you are gone
[01:56.72]
[02:03.29] But back when I believed in luck and words as spoken
[02:09.85] I found a lie could break and split the world clean open
[02:13.66]
[02:16.04] And grief became my company
[02:19.66] Pain so deep I could not breathe
[02:22.91]
[02:23.48] All betrayal is like dying in slow motion
[02:28.22]
[02:55.93] Is it luck that makes us shout or makes us whisper
[03:01.62] Is it luck that makes us wise or turns us bitter
[03:05.37]
[03:07.97] With our maps that point true north
[03:11.80] With our vows we sally forth
[03:15.70] The swords we carried can''t protect us from each other
[03:19.59]
[03:21.90] Away we are going
[03:26.90]
[03:28.59] Away we are gone
[03:31.22]
[03:36.03] Away we are going
[03:41.47] Away we are gone
