《Someone Else’s Prayer》歌词

[00:00:00] Someone Else's Prayer - Mary Chapin Carpenter

[00:00:26] Tonight the brightest moon in a hundred years

[00:00:33] Floods the streets of Rome and I am standing here

[00:00:40] Wondering where the ghosts of antiquity

[00:00:47] Hide on nights like this once a century

[00:00:54] Where do shadows fall when there's only light

[00:01:00] Why'd you follow me halfway 'round the world tonight

[00:01:08] What I'd give right now not to even care

[00:01:15] And then this could be someone else's prayer

[00:01:25] And on a sleepless night by St Stephen's Green

[00:01:33] Oh I turned and tossed with my Irish dreams

[00:01:39] And when the morning shone through the burned off mist

[00:01:46] I could sense you still just as close as this

[00:01:53] Just as close as lips brush against a cheek

[00:02:00] It's your voice I hear and it's your name I speak

[00:02:08] But when I look around there's no one there

[00:02:15] How I wish you were someone else's prayer

[00:02:53] And now the twilight comes as a silent guest

[00:03:00] And of all its gifts I like stillness best

[00:03:07] Except for tin roof rains that commence with spring

[00:03:15] It's a lullaby when that tin roof sings

[00:03:21] Now you can look for me on the streets of Rome

[00:03:28] Or in Dublin town but I've gone back home

[00:03:39] I would always be just a stranger there

[00:03:47] And now you're free to be someone else's prayer
