《Cactus Tree》歌词

[00:00:00] Cactus Tree - Judy Collins (朱蒂·柯林斯)/Ollabelle

[00:00:06] There's a man who's been out sailing

[00:00:09] In a decade full of dreams

[00:00:12] And he takes her to a schooner

[00:00:15] And he treats her like a queen

[00:00:18] Bearing beads from California

[00:00:21] With their amber stones and green

[00:00:26] He has called her from the harbor

[00:00:30] He has kissed her with his freedom

[00:00:35] He has heard her off to starboard

[00:00:39] In the breaking and the breathing

[00:00:42] Of the water weeds

[00:00:48] While she was busy being free

[00:00:57] There's a man who's climbed a mountain

[00:01:00] And he's calling out her name

[00:01:03] And he hopes her heart can hear

[00:01:06] Three thousand miles

[00:01:08] He calls again

[00:01:09] He can think her there beside him

[00:01:13] He can miss her just the same

[00:01:17] He has missed her in the forest

[00:01:22] While he showed her all the flowers

[00:01:26] And the branches sang the chorus

[00:01:31] As he climbed the scaly towers of a forest tree

[00:01:40] While she was somewhere being free

[00:01:49] There's a man who's sent a letter

[00:01:52] And he's waiting for reply

[00:01:55] He has asked her of her travels

[00:01:58] Since the day they said goodbye

[00:02:00] He writes Wish you were beside me

[00:02:04] We can make it if we try

[00:02:08] He has seen her at the office

[00:02:13] With her name on all his papers

[00:02:17] Through the sharing of the profits

[00:02:22] He will find it hard to shake her

[00:02:25] From his memory

[00:02:31] And she's so busy being free

[00:02:39] There's a lady in the city

[00:02:43] And she thinks she loves them all

[00:02:46] There's the one who's thinking of her

[00:02:49] There's the one who sometimes calls

[00:02:52] There's the one who writes her letters

[00:02:55] With his facts and figures scrawl

[00:03:00] She has brought them to her senses

[00:03:04] They have laughed inside her laughter

[00:03:09] Now she rallies her defenses

[00:03:13] For she fears that one will ask her for eternity

[00:03:22] And she's to busy being free

[00:03:31] There's a man who sends her medals

[00:03:34] He is bleeding from the war

[00:03:37] There's a jouster and a jester

[00:03:40] And a man who owns a store

[00:03:43] There's a drummer and a dreamer

[00:03:46] And you know there may be more

[00:03:50] She will love them when she sees them

[00:03:55] They will lose her if they follow

[00:03:59] And she only means to please them

[00:04:04] And her heart is full and hollow like a cactus tree

[00:04:13] While she's so busy being free

[00:04:19] Like a cactus tree being free
