音乐是岸

Lyrics(Hit Year:1991)

Across the street the river runs

Down in the gutter life is slipping away

Let me still exist in another place

Running under cover of a helicopter blade

The flames are getting higher in effigy

Burning down the bridges of my memory

Love may still be alive somewhere someway

where they're downing only deer

a hundred steel towns away

Oh rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum

with the words I love you rolling off my tongue

No never will I roam for I know my place is home

where the ocean meets the sky

I'll be sailing

Photographs and kerosene light up my darkness

light it up, light it up

I can still feel the touch of your thin blue jeans

Running down the alley I've got my eyes all over you baby

Oh baby

Oh the rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum

with the words I love you rolling off my tongue

No never will I roam for I know my place is home

where the ocean meets the sky I'll be sailing

I'll be sailing

Oh I've got lightning in my veins

shifting like the handle of a slot machine

Love may still exist in another place

I'm just yanking back the handle

no expression on my face

Oh the rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum

with the words I love you rolling off my tongue

Never will I roam for I know my place is home

where the ocean meets the sky

I'll be sailing

Oh the rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum

with the words I love you rolling off my tongue

No never will I roam for I know my place is home

where the ocean meets the sky

I'll be sailing

The rhythm of my heart is beating like a drum

with the words I love you rolling off my tongue

Never will I roam for I know my place is home

where the ocean meets the sky

I'll be sailing 

Rod Stewart曾经是世界上最出色的摇滚歌手之一，同时也是最有才华的词曲作者之一
是美国乐坛六十年代中期的英国入侵浪潮之后的标志性人物之一，他的独特的嗓音也成为了那个时代标志性的特征之一
因而Rod Stewart在很长时间以来一直被人尊崇。

他的音乐把乡村，民谣，布鲁斯，和摇滚乐等融合在一起的风格，不仅曾经使他成为了摇滚乐坛独挡一面的人物
而且由于他的成功还影响了许多代人的音乐思想，Bryan Adams，Michael Bolton，Steven Tyler(Aerosmith乐队主唱)
Paul Stanley(Kiss乐队主唱)等人都是他的追随者。但是在获得成功，并且年龄渐渐增大以后
他没有坚持自己的摇滚音乐风格，而越来越在流行音乐中随波逐流
以及在电影中肆意挥霍自己的时光，再加上肮脏的生活，尽管他仍然是一名出色的歌手
仍能在三十年后继续保持很高的威望和较高的唱片销量

但是这已经让他从一代摇滚音乐教父的神坛上衰落下去
而他的音乐事业也再没能够恢复当初的辉煌。
