[00:18.1]《I am Going to the West》
[00:21.38]In this fair land' I'll stay no more
[00:26.09]Here labor is in vain
[00:31.24]I'll seek the mountains far away
[00:35.8]And leave the fertile plain
[00:43.29]Where waves of grass in oceans roll
[00:48.41]Into infinity
[00:53.05]I stand ready on the shore
[00:58.06]To cross the inland sea
[01:05.36]I am going to the West
[01:10.51]Chorus
[01:12.51]You say you will not go with me
[01:17.45]You turn your eyes away
[01:22.01]You say you will not follow me
[01:26.94]No matter what I say
[01:34.84]I am going to the West
[01:38.91]I am going to the West
[01:44.59]Chorus
[01:56.43]I will journey to the place
[02:01.21]That was shaped by heaven hand
[02:05.87]And I will build for me a bower
[02:10.69]Where angels?footprints mark the land
[02:18.4]Where castle rocks in towers high
[02:22.97]Kneel to valleys wild and green
[02:27.82]All my thoughts are turned to you
[02:32.5]My waking hope' my sleeping dream
[02:39.99]I am going to the West
[02:47.14]You say you will not go with me
[02:52.26]You turn your eyes away
[02:56.67]You say you will not follow me
[03:01.9]No matter what I say
[03:09.46]I am going to the West
[03:14.1]I am going to the West
[03:21.62]And when sun gives way to moon
[03:26.0]And silver starlight fills the sky
[03:31.01]In the arms of these last hills
[03:35.87]Is where I bound to lie
[03:43.91]Wind' my blanket' earth' my bed
[03:48.03]My canopy' a tree
[03:52.89]Willows by the river edge
[03:57.75]Will whisper me to sleep
[04:05.16]I am going to the West
[04:12.11]You say you will not go with me
[04:17.23]You turn your eyes away
[04:21.64]You say you will not follow me
[04:26.89]No matter what I say
[04:34.46]I am going to the West
[04:44.21]I am going to the West
[04:52.21]Connie Dover是美国本土密苏里州人，在美
[04:54.31]国本土的一个爱尔兰乐队scartaglen中出名，
[04:56.41]以往我们接触的celtic美声大多都是来自欧
[04:58.51]洲大陆，这个美国漂亮歌手饱含celtic风的
[05:00.61]歌声却使我不得不赞叹celtic音乐的魅力和
[05:02.71]影响是多么的巨大。仔细听她的音乐中，民
[05:04.81]谣和美声的成分居多。用了大量celtic特有
[05:06.91]的乐器，却也不忘加上点标志美国民谣的吉
[05:09.01]他声。还有一点值得一提，这个金发美女不
[05:11.11]仅人美歌靓，自己也是个键盘手和作曲家。
[05:13.21]Connie Dover 的声音很平稳，就像砂漏里的
[05:15.31]砂往下流过一样，淡淡的，看不出什么滋味，
[05:17.41]口感却又很深远，不过，就像 CD 听完可以
[05:19.51]重来，沙漏滴完可以再翻转过来，时间却还
[05:21.61]是一样离开，淡滋味中，有一种无力挽回的
[05:23.71]哀伤。
