VNV Nation《Airships》歌词

作词 : Ronan Harris

作曲 : Ronan Harris

I pressed my face against the glass

Smiled as my breath made some pattern or other

The world beneath unfurled before me like a sail

Glinted in gold from this rich dawn sky

Awaiting the ship they had told me would come

Quietly anticipating that which was to come

I couldn’t yet see you, still obscured by the city

But towers of glass reflected your coming

Silhouetted on the sunrise, did

I blink as

I watched?

Did I close my eyes?

I was not alone,

I think it was the first time

Watching you rise splendid and graceful

I cheered as you sailed, a greatness unknown

I laughed as

I waved and imagined you saw me

In the streets of the city, the windows of buildings

A million faces gazing upwards in wonder

A million faces together and cheering and smiling

You were the warmth of their hearts

You were the sum of their dreams

In the coldness of morning you brought warmth to their lives

Giving this feeling of wonder

I could not imagine

You unlocking these thoughts no book and no picture could ever convey

This feeling and morning had opened a door

I stepped into a new world,

I watched you fly

Saw you as a friend, the spirit of dreams

Imagined a new world, lands far away

And imagined those faces as you hung in their sky

I’m leaving ground, stepping into a new world

I’m leaving ground, a new world and watching you fly

I stepped into,

I stepped into a new world

I was not alone,

I think it was the first time

I’m leaving ground, stepping into a new world

I’m leaving ground, stepping into a new world

Now I’m leaving home, leaving everything, leaving everything

I step into this new world leaving everything

I’m leaving ground, stepping into a new world

I’m leaving ground, stepping into a new world

Now I’m leaving home, leaving everything that

I have ever known

I step into this new world leaving everything, leaving everything

Leaving everything
