PETER PAUL & MARY: «500 MILES»

If you miss the train I'm on, you will know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
A hundred miles, a hundred miles
A hundred miles, a hundred miles
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles

Lord, I'm one, Lord, I'm two, Lord, I'm three, Lord, I'm four
Lord, I'm five hundred miles from my home
Five hundred miles, five hundred miles
Five hundred miles, five hundred miles
Lord, I'm five hundred miles from my home

Not a shirt on my back, not a penny to my name
Lord, I can't go a-home this a-way
This a-away, this a-way, this a-way, this a-way
Lord, I can't go a-home this a-way

If you miss the train I'm on, you will know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles

Esta melodia, tão apropriada à letra, exprime uma nostalgia intemporal.

Provavelmente, a mais bela canção interpretada pelo célebre grupo vocal dos anos 60. Foi retomada por inúmeros agrupamentos...

 500 milhas? ........ A quantas milhas mais estaremos desse tempo, em que havia tempo para sonhar !
