[00:01.234] [Sung verse]
[00:02.626] I walk accompanied by ghosts
[00:16.969] I walk accompanied by ghosts
[00:46.825] My father with his time and eyes
[00:51.161] His voice life-size
[00:54.852] He says "Follow me,"
[00:58.749] Follow me
[01:04.451] And I come sliding
[01:08.484] Where I've been hiding
[01:13.566] With the heart of a child
[01:34.624] Meet me by the lake
[01:36.970] Meet me by the lake
[01:40.947] I'll be there
[01:46.275] I'll be there
[01:50.926] [Spoken section]
[01:51.072] We lived by a lake.
[01:54.006] And in the winter it froze.
[01:56.259] We skated everywhere.
[01:58.869] One evening I was coming home from the movies,
[02:02.744] and I was pushing my little brothers – Craig and Phil – in a stroller.
[02:08.094] I had decided to take them over to the island,
[02:10.694] to look at the moon that was just coming up.
[02:13.700] But as we got close to the island – the ice broke.
[02:19.542] And the stroller sank into the dark water.
[02:23.151] And my first thought was:
[02:26.352] "Mom's gonna kill me!"
[02:30.882] And I remember the knitted balls on their hats,
[02:33.631] as they disappeared under the black water.
[02:36.258] So I ripped off my jacket and jumped into the freezing water
[02:39.700] and dove down and got Craig –
[02:41.154] and pulled him up and threw him on the ice.
[02:45.000] Then I dove down again but I couldn't find the stroller.
[02:48.238] It'd slipped down the muddy bank, further down under the ice.
[02:52.512] Then I dove in again.
[02:55.077] And I finally found the stroller, and Phil was strapped in,
[02:58.141] and I ripped the strap off
[02:59.524] and pulled him out and pushed him up onto the ice.
[03:04.041] Then I ran home.
[03:05.506] One twin under each arm.
[03:06.859] Frozen and screaming.
[03:09.103] I ran in the door and I told my mother what had happened.
[03:12.121] And she stood there and said:
[03:17.793] "What a wonderful swimmer you are.
[03:21.261] And I didn't know you were such a good diver."
[03:32.447] And when I think of her now I realize –
[03:35.821] that was the moment I had been trying to remember
[03:47.322] "Tell the animals," she said.
[03:54.714] "Tell all the animals."
[04:02.485] "Is it a pilgrimage? Towards what?"

作曲 : Laurie Anderson

I walk accompanied by ghosts
I walk accompanied by ghosts
My father with his time and eyes
His voice life-size
He says "Follow me,"
Follow me
And I come sliding
Where I've been hiding
With the heart of a child
Meet me by the lake
Meet me by the lake
I'll be there
I'll be there

We lived by a lake.
And in the winter it froze.
We skated everywhere.
One evening I was coming home from the movies,
and I was pushing my little brothers – Craig and Phil – in a stroller.
I had decided to take them over to the island,
to look at the moon that was just coming up.
But as we got close to the island – the ice broke.
And the stroller sank into the dark water.
And my first thought was:
"Mom's gonna kill me!"
And I remember the knitted balls on their hats,

Then I ran home.
One twin under each arm.
Frozen and screaming.

"Tell all the animals."
"Is it a pilgrimage? Towards what?"
