歌曲名 False Echoes (Havana 1921) (Album Version) 歌手名 Jimmy Buffett

The skies over Cuba turned pink with the light

And the water front ritual began to ignite

All the ships in the harbour were warmed by the sun

Twenty-fifth of November Nineteen twenty-one

On the old Chicamauga the signal jacks flew

And the message they spelled out caused a great ballyhoo

Every ship in Havana then hoisted away

All the pennants were flyin' on my dad's first birthday

Enduring echoes call out from his past

Time ain't for savin' no Time's not for that

Chasin' false echoes like a lost legionnaire

He waltzes on memories while he fades like a flare

Now his storybook childhood was not make-believe

On the decks of a tallship he was taught to achieve

Witnessed storms and starvation natural wonders and force

Oh the life of a sailor steers a wanderin' course

Enduring echoes call out from his past

Time ain't for savin' no Time's not for that

Chasin' false echoes like a lost legionnaire

He waltzes on memories while he fades like a flare

Well now life throws us curve balls we never can reach

He gave up the ocean but he lived by the beach

Where he raised up his family taught us all to survive

Then the wind went away in 1995

Now the old Chicamauga has slipped by the way

She lies on the bottom of old Mobile Bay

Where the ghosts of his father and his brother are near

They protect him and tell him there's nothing to fear

'Cause it's family tradition we take to the sea

And it's a time in the future for Cameron and me

Enduring echoes call out from his past

Time ain't for savin' no Time's not for that

Chasin' false echoes like a lost legionnaire

He waltzes on memories while he fades like a flare

The skies over Cuba were warmed by the sun

Twenty-fifth of November 1921
