《Meadowlark (Live)》歌词

[00:00:03] Meadowlark -Patti LuPone

[00:00:07] When I was a girl I had a favorite story

[00:00:12] Of the meadowlark who lived where the rivers wind

[00:00:17] Her voice could match the angels in its glory

[00:00:22] But she was blind the lark was blind

[00:00:27] An old king came and took her to his palace

[00:00:32] Where the walls were burnished bronze and golden braid

[00:00:37] And he fed her fruit and nuts from an ivory chalice and he prayed

[00:00:46] Sing for me my meadowlark

[00:00:51] Sing for me of the silver morning

[00:00:56] Set me free my meadowlark

[00:01:01] And I'll buy you a priceless jewel

[00:01:04] And cloth of brocade and cruel

[00:01:06] And I'll love you for life if you will sing for me

[00:01:14] Then one day as the lark sang by the water

[00:01:19] The god of the sun heard her in his flight

[00:01:23] And her singing moved him so he came and brought her

[00:01:28] The gift of sight he gave her sight

[00:01:33] And she opened her eyes to the shimmer and the splendor

[00:01:38] Of this beautiful young god so proud and strong

[00:01:43] And he called to the lark in a voice both rough and tender

[00:01:47] Come along fly with me my meadowlark

[00:01:57] Fly with me on the silver morning

[00:02:02] Past the sea where the dolphins bark

[00:02:07] We will dance on the coral beaches

[00:02:09] Make a feast of the plums and peaches

[00:02:12] Just as far as your vision reaches fly with me

[00:02:19] But the meadowlark said no for the old king loved her so

[00:02:25] She couldn't bear to wound his pride

[00:02:29] So the sun god flew away and when the king came down that day

[00:02:34] He found his meadowlark had died every time I heard that part I cried

[00:02:46] And now I stand here starry-eyed and stormy

[00:02:50] Oh just when I thought my heart was finally numb

[00:02:55] A beautiful young man appears before me

[00:02:59] Singing "Come oh won't you come "

[00:03:05] And what can I do if finally for the first time

[00:03:09] The one I'm burning for returns the glow

[00:03:14] If love has come at last it's picked the worst time

[00:03:18] Still I know I've got to go

[00:03:23] Fly away meadowlark

[00:03:28] Fly away in the silver morning

[00:03:32] If I stay I'll grow to curse the dark

[00:03:37] So it's off where the days won't bind me

[00:03:40] I know I leave wounds behind me

[00:03:42] But I won't let tomorrow find me back this way

[00:03:49] Before my past once again can blind me fly away

[00:04:04] And we won't wait to say goodbye

[00:04:23] My beautiful young man and I
