Testo '39 - Live - Queen + Paul Rodgers

Testo della canzone '39 - Live (Queen + Paul Rodgers), tratta dall'album Return Of The Champions (Live)

Okay, you don't expect comedy from me, do you?
You won't get it, okay, uh (I love you)
You know I have to say something
I get a very strange feeling about time
Coming out here and sitting amongst all of you here
It's a priv-, very privileged position to be sitting where I am
Um, I can hardly believe it, it's, it's like you have to keep pinching yourself
It was almost 19 years ago when Queen last trod the boards up here in Sheffield
And in some ways it seems like yesterday
Some ways it's a very long time
When I look around, I see a lot of wonderful friendly faces
Thank you all for being here
And the amazing thing is, the amazing thing is some of you I do know
And some of you guys, I look and, and you kind of look familiar
But actually you know you were probably not, or, or even just born
When, when this last happened, welcome to you all, we love you
Which brings me to the theme of this song, which I'd like to sing for you
And I'd like you to sing with me if you're up for it, you wanna sing? (Yeah!)
Okay, I'm just gonna tell you, this song is about time as well
It's about a, it's about a man who goes off in a silver spaceship to discover new lands
Which he manages to do, but when he comes back
He ah, he feels like he's only a year older
But to the people back on Earth
His planet is a hundred years older
And ah, you wanna sing? (Yeah!)
It goes like this
In the year of '39, assembled here the volunteers
In the days when lands were few
And the ship sailed out into the blue and sunny morn
The sweetest sight ever seen
And the night followed day, and the story tellers say
That the score brave souls inside
For many a lonely day sailed across the milky seas
Now looked back, never feared, never cried
Don't you (hear my call? Though you're many years away)
Don't you hear me calling you?
Write your letters in the sand, for the day I take your hand
In the land that our grandchildren knew
In the year of '39, came a ship in from the blue
The volunteers came home that day
And they bring good news of a world so newly born
Though their hearts so heavenly weigh
For the Earth is old and grey, lil' darling went away
But my love, this cannot be
For so many years have gone through I'm older but a year
Your mother's eyes from your eyes cry to me
Don't you hear my call? Though you're many years away
(Don't you hear me calling you?)
Write your letters in the sand, for the day I take your hand
In the land that our grandchildren knew
Don't you hear my call? Though you're many years away
Don't you hear me calling you?
All your letters in the sand cannot heal me like your hand
For my life still ahead, God bless all of you
(You're best, we love you back)
(We love your words)
(You're the best)
Whoa, thank you
