一雙鞋，能踢幾條街？一雙腳，能換幾次鞋？一口氣，嚥得下幾座城？一輩子，闖幾次紅燈？
答案啊答案，在茫茫的風裡
一雙眼，能燃燒到幾歲？一張嘴，吻多少次酒杯？一頭髮，能抵抗幾把梳子？一顆心，能年輕幾回？
答案啊答案，在茫茫的風裡
為什麼，信總在雲上飛？為什麼，車票在手裡？為什麼，惡夢在枕頭下？為什麼，抱你的是大衣？
答案啊答案，在茫茫的風裡
一片大陸，算不算你的國？一個島，算不算你的家？一眨眼，算不算少年？一輩子，算不算永遠？
答案啊答案，在茫茫的風裡

如何? 看來當時余光中先生一定也很喜愛這首歌,這首歌與另一首 where have all the flowers gone ? 同樣都是反戰爭(越戰)的美國民歌,有空再拿出來與各位討論一番!
Post script: 年輕時當了七年的民歌手,而且是走西洋歌路線,這些當年常唱的歌,回憶起真是美好,也許是更想說: 年輕真好!
