《Strawberry Blonde(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] Strawberry Blonde (Album Version) - Ron Sexsmith

[00:00:09] She was not the girl next door

[00:00:12] But the girl from 'round the corner

[00:00:17] At the tail end of grade four

[00:00:20] When she came to school one morning

[00:00:25] And all eyes were upon

[00:00:26] Her as she took her seat

[00:00:32] Her name was Amanda

[00:00:36] With pretty eyes of green

[00:00:39] And hair of blonde strawberry blonde

[00:00:48] Springtime and dandelions

[00:00:52] And summer 'round the corner

[00:00:56] At the tail end of age nine

[00:00:59] With a million dreams before her

[00:01:04] She lived with her mother

[00:01:07] In an old decrepit house

[00:01:12] If there was trouble the house

[00:01:15] She kept it to herself

[00:01:18] All summer long the strawberry blonde

[00:01:28] And by her face there was no way to tell

[00:01:35] It seemed like all was well in her world

[00:01:43] But the neighbors said

[00:01:47] Her mother had lost her will

[00:01:51] To gin and sleeping pills

[00:01:54] It was no life for a little girl

[00:02:18] Still I see her face framed in blue sky

[00:02:26] At the top of a slide coming down

[00:02:33] And when the sirens wailed

[00:02:37] (Her mother had failed to rise)

[00:02:41] All the neighbors stood outside

[00:02:45] As Amanda just stared at the ground

[00:02:53] Time flies and years are piled

[00:02:56] I'd forgotten all about her

[00:03:01] When I saw her down the aisle

[00:03:04] Of a streetcar with her daughter

[00:03:08] Then I heard Amanda say as she got up

[00:03:16] "C'mon Samantha girl this is our stop"

[00:03:22] And they were gone two strawberry blondes
