[00:00.00] 作曲 : Gordon Lightfoot [00:08.37]When first i did appear upon this native soil [00:13.50]All up and down this country at labor i did toil [00:18.39]I slumbered in the moonlight and i rose with the sun [00:23.43]I rambled through the canyons where the cold rivers run [00:30.42]When first i did come down where the land meets the sea [00:35.55]The people said who are you and what would your name be [00:40.56]I said i have no home and i am no man's son [00:45.57]'twas inland i was born and from inland that i come [00:50.58]In the good land i was young and i was strong [00:54.33]No one dared to call me son [00:56.31]Happy just to see my day's work done [01:01.02]See my day's work done [01:12.27]So i swung an axe as a timberjack [01:14.67]And i worked the quebec mines [01:17.46]And on the golden prairie i rode the big combines [01:22.44]I sailed the maritime waters of many a seaport town [01:27.27]Built the highways and the byways to the western salmon grounds [01:36.51]I've gazed upon the good times i've seen the bad times too [01:41.49]Felt many a cold and bitter wind and many a mornin' dew [01:46.56]I've watched the country growin' like a fair and mighty thing [01:51.60]And on the still of a summer night i've heard the mountains ring [01:56.40]In the good land i was young and i was strong [02:00.39]No one dared to call me son [02:02.43]Happy just to see my day's work done [02:07.17]See my day's work done [02:20.76]But now the seeds are planted and the gates are open wide [02:25.86]The old ways are forgotten there's no place left to hide [02:30.69]And the legacy i'm leavin' you is not very hard to find [02:35.76]You'll see it all around you at this crossroads of time [02:40.77]In the sweet soil it's a-growin' at the crossroads of time
