《You Bowed Down》歌词

[00:00:00] You Bowed Down - Roger McGuinn

[00:00:15] I suppose you're entitled to know

[00:00:18] Why I'm making contact

[00:00:22] With acqaintances scattered

[00:00:25] All over the land

[00:00:29] I'd promise you now and again

[00:00:32] That I'd honor the contract

[00:00:37] If it hadn't crumbled away in my hand

[00:00:44] Well we broke that vow independently now

[00:00:51] But I don't know why you absolutely deny

[00:00:57] You bowed down

[00:01:04] You bowed down

[00:01:13] When you first looked away

[00:01:15] I might say it was really a kindness

[00:01:21] I must have hurt to see how dreams sour

[00:01:28] Now they say that justice and love

[00:01:30] Are the next things to blindness

[00:01:35] Well you're getting plenty

[00:01:37] Of both of them now

[00:01:42] And so you parade where

[00:01:46] Appointments are made

[00:01:49] And never meant to be kept

[00:01:53] Unless you accept

[00:01:55] You bowed down

[00:02:03] You bowed down

[00:02:12] You'll value the burnt amber of falling leaves

[00:02:15] And you'll long to delay

[00:02:19] You feel their breath as they whisper

[00:02:21] It won't hurt you now to betray

[00:02:25] If you just bow down

[00:02:33] And now every time that we meet

[00:02:36] On the edge of hysteria

[00:02:41] You're helping them sell off

[00:02:42] Some new party line

[00:02:48] I remember a time when you

[00:02:50] Would have seemed so superior

[00:02:55] Now you say "will you please

[00:02:57] Meet this good friend of mine"

[00:03:02] So you're in demand as long

[00:03:06] As you kiss their hand

[00:03:10] But all the applause

[00:03:13] Is for their name not yours

[00:03:15] You bowed down

[00:03:23] You bowed down

[00:03:30] You bowed down

[00:03:37] You bowed down
