《Old Folks》歌词

[00:00:00] Old Folks - Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris Original Cast

[00:00:09] The old folks don't talk much

[00:00:14] And they talk so slowly when they do

[00:00:21] They are rich they are poor

[00:00:24] Their illusions are gone

[00:00:27] They share one heart for two

[00:00:31] Their homes all smell of thyme

[00:00:36] Of old photographs

[00:00:38] And an old fashioned song

[00:00:42] Though you may live in town

[00:00:45] You live so far away

[00:00:48] When you've lived too long

[00:00:52] And have they laughed too much

[00:00:56] Do their dry voices crack

[00:00:59] Talking of times gone by

[00:01:03] All have they cried too much

[00:01:07] A tear or two

[00:01:09] Still always seems to cloud the eye

[00:01:14] They tremble as they watch the old silver clock

[00:01:21] When day is through

[00:01:24] It tick tocks oh so slow

[00:01:28] It says yes it says no

[00:01:31] It says I'll wait for you

[00:01:40] The old folks dream no more

[00:01:47] The books have gone to sleep

[00:01:50] The piano's out of tune

[00:01:55] The little cat is dead

[00:01:57] And no more do they sing

[00:01:59] On a sunday afternoon

[00:02:04] The old folks move no more

[00:02:08] Their world's become too small

[00:02:10] Their bodies feel like lead

[00:02:15] They might look out the window or else sit in a chair

[00:02:20] Or else they stay in bed

[00:02:24] And if they still go out

[00:02:28] Arm in arm arm in arm

[00:02:32] In the morning's chill

[00:02:35] It's to have a good cry

[00:02:38] To say their last good bye

[00:02:40] To one who's older still

[00:02:45] And then they go home to the old silver clock

[00:02:52] When day is through

[00:02:55] It tick tocks oh so slow

[00:02:59] It says yes it says no

[00:03:02] It says I'll wait for you

[00:03:12] The old folks never die

[00:03:18] They just lay down their heads

[00:03:21] And go to sleep one day

[00:03:25] They hold each other's hand like children in the dark

[00:03:31] But one will get lost anyway

[00:03:35] And the other will remain just sitting in that room

[00:03:42] Which makes no sound

[00:03:47] It doesn't matter now

[00:03:49] The song has died away

[00:03:52] And echoes all around

[00:03:55] You'll see them

[00:03:57] When they walk through the sun-filled park

[00:04:03] Where children run and play

[00:04:07] It hurts too much to smile

[00:04:10] It hurts too much but life goes on

[00:04:14] For still another day

[00:04:17] As they try to escape the old silver clock

[00:04:24] When day is through

[00:04:28] It tick-tocks oh so slow

[00:04:32] It says yes it says no

[00:04:35] It says I'll wait for you

[00:04:45] The old old silver clock that's hanging on the wall

[00:04:58] That waits for us all
