[00:00.000]Three Mules - Al Stewart (阿尔·史蒂伍德)
[00:04.462]Three mules came over a hill
[00:07.130]They were dragging a cart
[00:10.947]Creaking it seemed to be falling apart
[00:15.167]Laden with millions of dreams
[00:17.735]It weighed more than they thought
[00:21.541]They never noticed the wheels getting caught
[00:25.006]They pulled on staring ahead
[00:29.071]With blinkered eyes and lowered heads
[00:34.432]Hoping that all would be fine
[00:37.651]I see them now
[00:39.781]Time out of time
[00:45.303]Ramsey and Stanley and Neville
[00:48.087]Were the names of the mules
[00:51.576]Each wore a bridle encrusted with jewels
[00:55.910]And though a murmur of voices
[00:58.664]Was rising behind
[01:02.448]Each laboured on
[01:03.803]And they paid it no mind
[01:05.948]They pulled on with never a doubt
[01:09.495]Past boulders and holes
[01:11.499]Till the road petered out
[01:14.800]And giving a snort they sat down
[01:18.354]Waiting for somebody else to come round
[01:22.946]And from this are our lives writ large
[01:26.494]From the beach at Dunkirk
[01:28.945]To Pickett's Charge
[01:30.832]And it's hard to go back
[01:32.968]After coming this far
[01:38.009]Down the road
[01:47.295]Three mules looked over a fence
[01:50.162]At the field beyond
[01:53.778]Green as a forest it shone in the sun
[01:58.052]Into the stillness they broke
[02:00.601]Like a stone in a pond
[02:04.150]And kicking the gate down
[02:06.101]They brayed at the ground
[02:07.897]And pulled on tugging a dream
[02:11.973]Out of a smile and into a scream
[02:16.954]And tossed the damp soil all around
[02:20.482]Until the whole field turned muddy brown
[02:25.182]And from this are our lives writ large
[02:28.723]From the beach at Dunkirk
[02:31.289]To Pickett's Charge
[02:32.993]And it's hard to go back
[02:35.145]After coming this far
[02:40.017]Down the road
[02:49.451]Ah but it's not very easy now being a mule
[02:58.038]I don't believe you appreciate all that we do
[03:06.301]Look at this long and unfortunate face
[03:11.008]Try to imagine that you're in my place
[03:15.227]This is my nature
[03:17.064]And to it I have to be true
[03:59.927]Three mules came over a hill
[04:02.989]With a sorrowful air
[04:06.819]Though we've been judged they said
[04:08.780]It's hardly fair
[04:10.962]All that we did was for you
[04:13.444]And the good of the 'cause
[04:17.277]Then they went back to the sound of applause
[04:21.129]They went back into the night
[04:24.560]Where a sickle of moon
[04:26.486]Left a trickle of light
[04:30.028]And while we lay under our roofs
[04:33.355]The whole night filled up
[04:35.118]With the beating of hooves
[04:38.259]And from this are our lives writ large
[04:41.721]From the beach at Dunkirk
[04:44.111]To Pickett's Charge
[04:45.967]And it's hard to go back
[04:48.042]After coming this far
[04:53.052]Down the road
[05:01.694]And from this are our lives writ large
[05:05.966]And every day
[05:07.836]Is Pickett's Charge
[05:09.621]And it's hard to go back
[05:11.740]After coming this far
[05:16.736]Down the road
