腰腿第一、文體第二。

沒特別喜歡過Dan Fogelberg，但國中時有一陣子整個人走溫情路線，還會去買齊豫的卡帶來聽（溫情指數約莫跟上頭抄寫席慕蓉詩句的小卡片差不多）。"Longer"是其中還不錯的一首歌。


Dan Fogelberg, "Longer"

老一代的台灣大專生好像都還挺愛Dan Fogelberg的。前幾天剛在iPod裡灌入"Longer"，沒想到原唱者撐不到天長地久就離我們遠去了。

Longer than there've been fishes in the ocean
Higher than any bird ever flew
Longer than there've been stars up in the heavens
I've been in love with you

Stronger than any mountain cathedral
Truer than any tree ever grew
Deeper than any forest primeval
I am in love with you

I'll bring fires in the winters
You'll send showers in the springs
We'll fly through the falls and summers
With love on our wings

Through the years as the fire starts to mellow
Burning lines in the book of our lives
Though the binding cracks
And the pages start to yellow
I'll be in love with you
I'll be in love with you

Longer than there've been fishes in the ocean
Higher than any bird ever flew
Longer than there've been stars up in the heavens
I've been in love with you
I am in love with you

前面講到了齊豫，還記得那張專輯的主打歌是翻唱自Chris de Burgh的"Borderline"。當年台灣人特愛聽台灣歌星唱英文歌，連米國電視影集都偏愛配音的版本。怪。


Chris de Burgh, "Borderline"

I'm standing in the station,
I am waiting for a train,
To take me to the border,
And my loved one far away;
I watched a bunch of soldiers heading for the war,
I could hardly even bear to see them go;

Rolling through the countryside,
Tears are in my eyes,
We're coming to the borderline,
I'm ready with my lies,
And in the early morning rain, I see her there,
And I know I'll have to say goodbye again;

And it's breaking my heart, I know what I must do,
I hear my country call me, but I want to be with you,
I'm talking my side, one of use will lose,
Don't let go, I want to know
That you will wait for me until the day,
There's no borderline, no borderline;

Walking past the border guards,
Reaching for her hand,
Showing no emotion,
I want to break into a run,
But these are only boys, and I will never know
How men can see the wisdom in a war...

And it's breaking my heart, I know what I must do,
I hear my country call me, but I want to be with you,
I'm taking my side, one of us will lose,
Don't let go, I want to know
That you will wait for me until the day,
There's no borderline, no borderline,
No borderline, no borderline...

非常時空限定的一首歌曲，孩子們，當年有種叫做冷戰的東西啊。

是說國中時我還挺愛這首歌的 -- 夠席慕蓉了吧。
