《A Year》歌词

[00:00:00] A Year - Loudon Wainwright III

[00:00:01] Written by：Loudon Wainwright III

[00:00:10] The only time I've seen

[00:00:14] You was about a year ago

[00:00:21] I was afraid to hold you

[00:00:25] But I wanted you to know

[00:00:31] I touched your tiny perfect

[00:00:34] Hand

[00:00:38] Before I went uptown

[00:00:42] I didn't pick you up because

[00:00:47] I'd have to put you down

[00:00:53] For reasons that don't make

[00:00:56] Much sense and you won't understand

[00:01:03] I've stayed away for your first year

[00:01:09] It's sort of what I planned

[00:01:14] But I've been in your neighbourhood

[00:01:21] Sometimes just blocks away

[00:01:25] I didn't come to visit you

[00:01:31] Because I couldn't stay

[00:01:36] There was a baby on a plane

[00:01:44] Maybe she was two

[00:01:47] And she was smiling at me

[00:01:54] Was not sure what to do

[00:01:58] I've kept my distance from you

[00:02:05] A year's much more than a while

[00:02:09] And so I looked away from her

[00:02:15] Too ashamed to smile

[00:02:20] When I saw you last year

[00:02:24] I knew that there was no mistake

[00:02:31] Amazing things can happen

[00:02:36] Why just look what life can make

[00:02:42] But life can get so hard sometimes

[00:02:49] Some feelings can't be tamed

[00:02:53] And people get so angry

[00:02:59] Frightened and ashamed

[00:03:04] You've been a sort of secret for a year

[00:03:11] I've told but few

[00:03:15] Although I'm sure that where you are

[00:03:21] So many must love you

[00:03:26] And I've passed by your window

[00:03:34] But haven't dared look in

[00:03:37] Although I know I'd love you too

[00:03:42] I'm too scared to begin
