[00:00.00]The Shifting Whispering Sands - Jim Reeves (吉姆·里夫斯)
[00:14.37]I discovered the valley of the shifting whispering sands
[00:17.18]
[00:18.12]While prospecting for gold in one of our western states
[00:22.87]I saw the silent windmills the crumbling water tanks
[00:27.36]
[00:29.35]The bones of cattle and burrows picked clean by buzzards
[00:34.04]Bleached by the desert sun
[00:38.10]I stumbled over a crumbling buckboard nearly covered by the sands
[00:41.54]
[00:42.54]And stopping to rest I heard a tinkling whispering sound
[00:45.41]
[00:46.85]And suddenly realised that even though
[00:48.79]The wind was quiet the sand did not lie still
[00:51.73]
[00:54.48]I seemed to be surrounded by a mystery so heavy
[00:56.85]And oppressive I could scarcely breath
[00:57.00]
[00:59.84]For days and weeks I wandered aimlessly in this valley
[01:02.52]
[01:03.09]Seeking answers to the many questions
[01:04.78]That raced through my fevered mind
[01:07.52]Where was everyone why the white bones the dry wells
[01:11.82]
[01:12.89]The barren valley where people must have lived and died
[01:15.33]
[01:16.57]Finally I could go no farther my food and water gone
[01:19.07]
[01:20.07]I sat down and buried my face in my hands and resting thus
[01:24.19]I learnt the secret of the shifting whispering sands
[01:26.38]
[01:27.50]How I escaped from the valley I do not know
[01:30.50]But now to pay my final debt for being spared
[01:33.38]I must tell you what I learned out there on the desert
[01:37.56]So many years ago
[01:38.50]
[01:40.31]When the day is oddly quiet
[01:44.51]
[01:46.43]And the breeze seems not to blow
[01:50.06]
[01:52.01]One would think the sand was resting
[01:57.75]But you'll find this is not so
[02:01.19]
[02:02.69]It is whisp'ring softly whisp'ring
[02:07.06]
[02:09.06]As it slowly moves along
[02:12.50]
[02:13.88]And for those who stop and listen
[02:17.82]
[02:20.57]It will sing this mournful song
[02:23.62]
[02:25.06]Of sidewinders and the horntoads
[02:29.81]
[02:31.70]Of the Thorny Chaparral
[02:33.57]
[02:36.76]In the sunny days and moonlight nights
[02:41.57]
[02:42.70]The coyote's lonely yell
[02:45.51]
[02:47.01]How the stars seem you could touch them
[02:53.20]As you lay and gaze on high
[02:56.76]
[02:58.82]At the Heavens where we're hoping
[03:02.51]
[03:04.59]We'll be going when we die
[03:07.72]
[03:11.98]Yes it always whispers to me of the days of long ago
[03:16.04]
[03:17.91]When the settlers and the miners fought the crafty Navaho
[03:20.92]
[03:23.10]How the cattle roamed the valley happy people worked the land
[03:26.86]
[03:28.05]And now everything is covered by the shifting whispering sands
[03:31.10]
[03:33.17]How the miner left his buckboard went to work his claim that day
[03:37.36]And the burros broke their halters when they thought he'd gone to stay
[03:40.73]
[03:42.05]Wandered far in search of water on to Old Sidewinder's Well
[03:44.98]
[03:45.80]And there their bones picked clean by buzzards that were circling when they fell
[03:51.01]
[03:54.39]How they found the ancient miner lying dead upon the sand
[04:03.26]
[04:05.38]After months they could but wonder if he died by human hand
[04:14.51]
[04:15.76]So they dug his grave and laid him on his back and crossed his hands
[04:27.25]And his secret still is hidden by the shifting whispering sands
[04:36.82]
[04:41.62]This is what they whispered to me on the quiet desert air
[04:47.63]
[04:51.00]Of the people and the cattle and the miner lying there
[04:57.62]
[05:01.18]If you want to learn their secret wander through this quiet land
[05:05.11]
[05:09.67]And I'm sure you'll hear the story of the shifting whispering sands
[05:17.34]
[05:22.84](Of the shifting whispering sands)
