《That’s The Way I’ve Always Heard It Should Be》歌词

[00:00:00] That's The Way I've Always Heard It Should Be - Clodagh Rodgers

[00:00:07] My father sits at night with no lights on

[00:00:14] His cigarette glows in the dark

[00:00:21] The living room is still;

[00:00:25] I walk by no remark

[00:00:35] I tiptoe past the master bedroom where

[00:00:42] My mother reads her magazines

[00:00:49] I hear her call sweet dreams

[00:00:53] But I forgot how to dream

[00:01:03] But you say it's time we moved in together

[00:01:09] Raised a family of our own you and me

[00:01:16] Well that's the way it should be

[00:01:21] You want to marry me

[00:01:30] My friends from college

[00:01:32] They're all married now;

[00:01:37] They have their houses and their lawns

[00:01:44] They have their silent noons

[00:01:47] Tearful nights angry dawns

[00:01:58] Their children hate them

[00:02:00] For the things they're not

[00:02:05] They hate themselves for what they are

[00:02:12] And yet they drink they laugh

[00:02:15] Close the wound hide the scar

[00:02:26] But you say it's time we moved in together

[00:02:32] Raised a family of our own you and me

[00:02:40] Well that's the way it should be

[00:02:44] You want to marry me

[00:02:54] You say we can keep our love alive

[00:03:01] Babe - all I know is what I see

[00:03:08] The couples cling and claw

[00:03:12] And drown in love's debris

[00:03:22] You say we'll soar like two birds

[00:03:25] Through the clouds

[00:03:29] But soon you'll cage me on your shelf

[00:03:37] I'll never learn to be just me first

[00:03:42] By myself

[00:03:51] So it's time we moved in together

[00:03:57] Raised a family of our own you and me -

[00:04:04] Well that's the way it should be

[00:04:09] You want to marry me
