The Undiscovered Country 歌詞
All those who go before us
The mothers and the kings
Shakespeare and my father
Who kick dust up in my dreams
If youre too close to the voices
You can stray far from the track
So goodbye, my friends
Its my turn to wont look back
Verse 2
The ghosts have had their moment
Now they fade into the sun
Shining like a carousel
When summers just begun
Bonded for their silence
And I threw away the key
Someones going down
But its not me
Chorus 1
All because Im thankful for what we dont understand
The undiscovered country between a woman and a man
Verse 3
All those who follow after
Are children who we pledge
To a story of some sailors
Who float beyond the edge
To their little old box of wishes
We want them to retire
Just beyond their grasp
And plain desires
Verse 4
The old men never helped us
They took our every vow
Turned them into money
And look where we are now
Waiting for a savior
But she walks alone to sea
And someones going down
She went down for me
Chorus 2
And still she says shes thankful for what we dont understand
The undiscovered country in every woman, every man
Verse 5
Some day will come the questions
With no answers, but we ask
Just the same when we were children
Which was sweet but doesnt last
From the undiscovered country
We hear the old refrain
The sky is blue
For the few who remain
Chorus 3
All because Im thankful for the things we never planned
The undiscovered country in every woman, every man
Raise a glass, be thankful for what we dont understand
The undiscovered country between a woman and a man
