[ti:One Stage Before (2001 Digital Remaster)] [ar:Al Stewart] [al:Year Of The Cat(2001 Digital Remaster)] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]One Stage Before (2001 Digital Remaster) - Al Stewart (阿尔·史蒂伍德) [00:18.89]It seems to me as though [00:21.15]I've been upon this stage before [00:23.82] [00:24.81]And juggled away the night [00:27.33]For the same old crowd [00:28.85] [00:31.07]These harlequins you see with me [00:33.60]They too have held the floor [00:37.30]As here once again they strut [00:39.20]And they fret their hour [00:40.98] [00:43.19]I see those half-familiar [00:45.53]Faces in the second row [00:49.50]Ghost-like with the footlights [00:51.73]In their eyes [00:53.55] [00:55.45]But where or when we met like [00:57.94]This last time I just don't know [01:00.73] [01:01.66]It's like a chord [01:03.08]That rings and never dies [01:06.89] [01:07.86]For infinity [01:12.09] [01:20.40]And now these figures in the wings [01:23.08]With all their restless tunes [01:26.43]Are waiting for someone [01:28.01] [01:29.06]To call their names [01:30.58] [01:32.61]They walk the backstage corridors [01:35.41]And prowl the dressing-rooms [01:38.22] [01:38.76]And vanish to specks of light [01:41.02]In the picture-frames [01:43.04] [01:44.89]But did they move upon [01:47.45]The stage a thousand years ago [01:50.04] [01:51.16]In some play in Paris or Madrid [01:55.50] [01:57.08]And was I there among them then [01:59.93]In some travelling show [02:03.06]And is it all still locked inside my head [02:09.30]For infinity [02:12.98] [02:21.86]And some of you are harmonies [02:24.78]To all the notes I play [02:27.85]Although we may not meet [02:29.82]Still you know me well [02:31.91] [02:33.89]While others talk in secret keys [02:36.67]And transpose all I say [02:39.87]And nothing I do or try can [02:42.65]Get through the spell [02:45.86]So one more time we'll dim the lights [02:48.88]And ring the curtain up [02:51.94]And play again like all the times before [02:56.67] [02:58.05]But far behind the music you [03:01.06]Can almost hear the sounds [03:04.12]Of laughter like the waves upon the shores [03:08.77] [03:10.28]Of infinity
