A Taste Of Neptune / Rose

 

 

 

캐나다 출신의 락밴드 로즈의 1977년 앨범에 수록된 곡. 포크락과 하드락을 결합한 장르를

주로 추구했지만 캐나다 이외의 지역에서는 크게 성공을 거두진 못했다..

 

제목에서 풍기듯 지치고 늙은 바닷사람의 험난했던 옛날 이야기이며,

바닷내음이 많이 묻어나는 곡....

 

 

 

A Taste Of Neptune   On the day we sailed for England It was cold and windy gray
All the gulls had taken shelter When the lines were cast away All our faces seemed much older Than the men we'd come to know
So we swore beneath our skins As we watched the tempest grow We all cursed the captain's judgement As we bent to do our chores
All the older hands swapped stories Of the storms they'd seen before All the cabin-boys went hiding As the ship began to toss
Thirty-seven hearts were pounding And the bo's'n clutched his cross Hands of the stormy sea Reach deep inside of me
Open a part of me I have never known
Reach deep inside of me Open a part of me Lord of the sea I'm a toy in your hands
A boy from the land Oh, please let me be Naked I stand in your massive domain
I've trespassed again Oh, please understand From a deep and peaceful slumber I awoke to find the dawn
All the winds had died to breezes All the mountain waves were gone I'd a bruise upon my forehead And a gash across my arm
We'd survived our taste of Neptune For the ship remained unharmed Toy in your hands A boy from the land
Oh, let me be Naked I stand Please understand Oh, let me be
