《Polaroids(Live Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] Polaroids (Live Version) - Shawn Colvin (肖恩·科尔)

[00:00:11] Please no more therapy

[00:00:14] Mother take care of me

[00:00:16] Piece me together with a

[00:00:19] Needle and thread

[00:00:22] Wrap me in eiderdown

[00:00:25] Lace from your wedding gown

[00:00:27] Fold me and lay me down

[00:00:30] On your bed

[00:00:32] Or liken me to a shoe

[00:00:35] Blackened and spit-shined through

[00:00:38] Kicking back home to you

[00:00:40] Smiling back home

[00:00:43] Singing back home to you

[00:00:46] Laughing back home to you

[00:00:48] Dragging back home to you

[00:00:54] And I was so wary then

[00:00:56] The ugly American

[00:00:59] Thinner than oxygen

[00:01:02] Tough as a whore

[00:01:04] I said you can lie to me

[00:01:07] I own what's inside of me

[00:01:10] And nothing surprises me anymore

[00:01:15] But forests in Germany

[00:01:18] Kids in the Tuileries

[00:01:20] Broken-down fortresses

[00:01:23] In old Italy

[00:01:26] And claiming his victory

[00:01:28] Shrouded in mystery

[00:01:31] He went running away with me

[00:01:37] Back in our home New York

[00:01:39] Walking these streets forlorn

[00:01:41] We all in our uniforms

[00:01:44] Black and black

[00:01:47] Doing that slouch and jive

[00:01:50] The artist must survive

[00:01:52] We've got all we need we cried

[00:01:55] And don't look back

[00:01:58] And thinking we had it made

[00:02:00] Poised for the hit parade

[00:02:03] Knee deep in accolades

[00:02:05] The conceptual pair

[00:02:08] But ever the malcontent

[00:02:11] He left without incident

[00:02:14] Vanished into thin air

[00:02:30] Now I am always amazed

[00:02:32] Words can fill up a page

[00:02:35] Pages fill up the days

[00:02:38] Between him and me

[00:02:41] But the vows that we never keep

[00:02:43] From bedrooms to business-speak

[00:02:46] Make me remember how cheap

[00:02:49] Words can be

[00:02:51] And the letters I wrote you of

[00:02:54] Were those of the desperate stuff

[00:02:56] Like begging for love in a suicide threat

[00:03:02] But I am too young to die

[00:03:05] Too old for a lullaby

[00:03:07] Too tired for life on the ledge

[00:03:13] But I had a dream last night

[00:03:15] Of lovers who walked the plank

[00:03:18] Out on the edge of time

[00:03:21] Amidst ridicule

[00:03:23] They laughed as they rocked and reeled

[00:03:26] Over the mining fields

[00:03:29] Coming to rest on this ship of fools

[00:03:34] But he just took Polaroids

[00:03:37] Of her smile in the light

[00:03:40] Of the dawn of the menacing sky

[00:03:45] And before they went overboard

[00:03:47] She turned and held up a card

[00:03:50] And it said Valentine
