《My Mama’s House》歌词

[00:00:00] My Mama's House - Janis Ian

[00:00:01] Written by：Janis Ian

[00:00:03] In my mama's house the men were many

[00:00:10] They stood in a line outside the door

[00:00:16] When I was a kid they gave me candy

[00:00:21] And seashells from the ocean

[00:00:24] They'd stolen from the shore

[00:00:30] They came like princes to the wedding

[00:00:37] They left like sailors on the hill

[00:00:44] When I was younger I was ready

[00:00:48] To receive them in the luxury

[00:00:52] Of my driftwood heart and still

[00:00:58] I never wanted for affection

[00:01:05] I never needed any more

[00:01:12] All my fathers my reflection

[00:01:19] Like the moon reflects the shore

[00:01:25] Love came in a wave it struck like an ocean

[00:01:32] Like a tide it pulled me out to sea

[00:01:39] My mama's house is gone

[00:01:41] But her devotion lingers on

[00:01:45] In the back pages of my memory

[00:01:53] Now I live my life in splendor

[00:02:00] Like some duchess or a queen

[00:02:07] But every morning I remember

[00:02:11] When the sea breeze strikes and gathers

[00:02:15] What that woman meant to me

[00:02:21] And I never wanted for affection

[00:02:28] I never needed any more

[00:02:35] All my fathers my reflection

[00:02:42] Like the moon reflects the shore

[00:02:48] Love came in a wave it struck like an ocean

[00:02:55] Like a tide it pulled me out to sea

[00:03:02] My mama's house is gone

[00:03:05] But her devotion lingers on

[00:03:08] In the back pages of my memory
