[00:00.00]The Ballad of St. Anne's Reel - John Denver (约翰·丹佛)
[00:03.55]Written by：David Mallet
[00:07.10]He was stranded in some tiny town on fair Prince Edward Isle
[00:11.91]Awaiting for a ship to come and find him
[00:16.15]A one-horse place a friendly face some coffee and a tiny trace
[00:20.58]Of fiddling in the distance far behind him
[00:25.01]A dime across the counter then a shy hello a brand new friend
[00:29.38]A walk along the street in the wintry weather
[00:33.49]A yellow light an open door a welcome friend there's room for more
[00:37.54]And then they're standing there inside together
[00:41.60]He said I've heard that tune before somewhere but I can't remember when
[00:46.28]Was it on some other friendly shore or did I hear it on the wind
[00:50.65]Was it written on the sky above I think I heard it from someone I love
[00:55.14]But I never heard it sound so sweet since then
[01:18.54]Now his feet begin to tap a little boy says I'll take your hat
[01:22.47]He's caught up in the magic of her smile
[01:27.02]And leap the heart inside him went and off across the floor he sent
[01:31.14]His clumsy body graceful as a child
[01:35.08]He said there's magic in the fiddler's arm there's magic in this town
[01:39.82]There's magic in the dancers' feet and the way they put them down
[01:44.49]People smiling everywhere boots and ribbons locks of hair
[01:48.67]And laughter and old blue suits and Easter gowns
[02:11.64]Now the sailor's gone the room is bare the old piano's sitting there
[02:16.07]Someone's hat's left hanging on the rack
[02:20.44]And empty chairs the wooden floor that feels the touch of shoes no more
[02:24.62]Awaiting for the dancers to come back
[02:28.74]And the fiddle's in the closet of some daughter of the town
[02:33.23]The strings are broke and the bow is gone and the cover's buttoned down
[02:37.72]But sometimes on December nights when the air is cold and the wind is right
[02:42.21]There's a melody that passes through this town
