예스의 Wonderous Stories 입니다.

프로그레시브 어쩌고 하는 성향의 음악들을 듣다보면 그 복잡함과 난해함에 질릴 때가 있습니다. 그럴 때 이 곡처럼 박하사탕 하나 먹은 것 같은 노래 하나가 좋지요. ㅎ

지난 일년을 생각해보면 우리나라든, 제 개인적으로든 예전에는 이런 일이 있으리라고는 생각지도 못했던 놀라운 일들이 벌어진 한해더군요. 그 "놀랍다"는 것이 좋은 일만은 아니었다는 게 문제긴 합니다.... 쩝.

I awoke this morning love laid me down by a river.

Drifting I turned on upstream bound for my forgiver.

In the giving of my eyes to see your face.

Sound did silence me leaving no trace.

I beg to leave, to hear your wonderous stories.

Beg to hear your wonderous stories.

He spoke of lands not far or lands they were in his mind.

Of fusion captured high where reason captured his time.

In no time at all he took me to the gate.

In haste I quickly checked the time.

If I was late I had to leave to hear your wonderous stories.

Had to hear your wonderous stories.

Hearing...

Hearing your wonderous stories.

It is no lie I can see deeply into the future.

Imagine everything you're close and were you there to stand

So cautiously at first and then so high.

As he spoke my spirit climbed into the sky.

I bid it to return to hear your wonderous stories.

Return to hear your wonderous stories.
