[00:18.10]《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
[00:35.80]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
[02:18.40]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
[02:32.50]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
[03:01.90]No matter what I say
[03:09.46]I am going to the West
[03:14.10]I am going to the West
[03:21.62]And when sun gives way to moon
[03:26.00]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是美國本土密蘇里州人，在美
[04:54.31]國本土的一個愛爾蘭樂隊scartaglen中出名，
[04:56.41]以往我們接觸的celtic美聲大多都是來自歐
[04:58.51]洲大陸，這個美國漂亮歌手飽含celtic風的
[05:00.61]歌聲卻使我不得不讚嘆celtic音樂的魅力和
[05:02.71]影響是多麼的巨大。仔細聽她的音樂中，民
[05:04.81]謠和美聲的成分居多。用了大量celtic特有
[05:06.91]的樂器，卻也不忘加上點標誌美國民謠的吉
[05:09.01]他聲。還有一點值得一提，這個金髮美女不
[05:11.11]僅人美歌靚，自己也是個鍵盤手和作曲家。
[05:13.21]Connie Dover 的聲音很平穩，就像砂漏里的
[05:15.31]砂往下流過一樣，淡淡的，看不出什麼滋味，
[05:17.41]口感卻又很深遠，不過，就像 CD 聽完可以
[05:19.51]重來，沙漏滴完可以再翻轉過來，時間卻還
[05:21.61]是一樣離開，淡滋味中，有一種無力挽回的
[05:23.71]哀傷。
