LONG WAY WITHOUT FRIENDS
词 \ 黄家驹.陈时安. 曲 \ 黄家驹. 主唱 \ 黄家驹.
The sun is scorching down,
And the sand reflect its light.
I'm moving with my shadow,
Through this empty haunted land.
Strange sounds from nowhere,
And the strong wind cut my face.
Nobody'll help But what else can I do ?
Oh! Lord I need your help,
In the sky there's a eagle soaring by!
Oh, Long way without friends,
But I'll never, never change my mind!
The moon is hanging high,
With her lonely stars behind,
The moonlinght lit the ground.
The moonlight give me a chill,
But only the moonlight,Will show me my way
Nobody'll help,But what else can i do?
Oh! Lord I need your help,
In the sky there's a eagle soaring by!
Oh, Long way without friends,
But I'll never, never change my mind!
The gift is in my hands,
And the road before my eyes,
The fire has ceased to burn.
I can feel the torture's gone.
But will it last for long,
when the spell is still around.
Nobody care,But what else can I do?
Oh! Lord I need your help,
In the sky there's a eagle soaring by!
Oh, Long way without friends,
But I'll never, never change my mind!
