《Song for Duke(LP Version)》歌词

[00:00:01] Song For Duke(LP Version) - Judy Collins

[00:00:14] I didn't even know the man

[00:00:18] I didn't know the man himself

[00:00:22] Even though his music filled my life

[00:00:26] As it has so many others

[00:00:31] I knew that he had died that week

[00:00:36] After fighting death a year or more

[00:00:40] But I had had a rule before

[00:00:44] That funerals were a waste of flowers

[00:00:49] But something said I had to go

[00:00:53] To be a witness to his gift of love

[00:00:58] A man who never once gave up on life

[00:01:02] Until death took him in his tracks

[00:01:08] The people stood around the church

[00:01:12] Ten thousand people there they say or more

[00:01:17] Black and white rich and poor

[00:01:21] Together they were there to say farewell

[00:01:25] In New York city it had rained that day

[00:01:30] The streets were silver and the sky was grey

[00:01:35] But in the church the music soared and sang

[00:01:39] And seemed to fill the air with shining sun

[00:01:44] The man was a hero

[00:01:49] He played the music of our souls

[00:01:53] He knew that we all have in us

[00:01:57] A place where beauty always grows

[00:02:21] Outside in the streets again

[00:02:25] The people wandered through the falling rain

[00:02:30] They waved their hands and dried their tears

[00:02:34] And turned to go about their lives again

[00:02:39] But none of us will be the same

[00:02:43] If we hear the things his music says

[00:02:48] That loving is the gift of life

[00:02:52] And making music was his way of love

[00:02:57] The man was a hero

[00:03:01] He played the music of our souls

[00:03:06] He knew that we all have in us

[00:03:10] A place where beauty always grows
