《About The Children》歌词

[00:00:00] About The Children - Tom Paxton

[00:00:09] The conversation pauses

[00:00:12] While the waiter pours our tea

[00:00:14] This timely interruption is a great relief to me

[00:00:19] I wish he'd stay all day I'd never have to say

[00:00:26] About the children

[00:00:38] You're looking really lovely

[00:00:41] And the dress is really you

[00:00:43] The necklace I remember

[00:00:45] But the bracelet must be new

[00:00:48] But that's another day

[00:00:51] I clear my throat and say

[00:00:54] About the children

[00:00:57] Oh they'll be away at school

[00:00:59] They'll have the camps to go to

[00:01:03] And they're much too young

[00:01:05] To know how hard it is to go through

[00:01:10] Ah these were to be the years for us

[00:01:12] Making love in the afternoon

[00:01:15] No worries anymore about the children

[00:01:31] The conversation's civilized

[00:01:34] We calmly nod our heads

[00:01:36] You're smiling as you always do

[00:01:39] But your napkin is in shreds

[00:01:42] You'd like to run away oh

[00:01:45] Who'd be the first to say

[00:01:48] About the children

[00:01:51] Oh they'll be away at school

[00:01:53] They'll have the camps to go to

[00:01:57] And they're much too young to know

[00:01:59] How hard it is to go through

[00:02:03] Ah these were to be the years for us

[00:02:05] Making love in the afternoon

[00:02:09] No worries anymore about the children

[00:02:16] The conversation's civilized

[00:02:18] We calmly nod our heads

[00:02:20] You're smiling as you always do

[00:02:23] But your napkin is in shreds

[00:02:26] You'd like to run away oh

[00:02:29] Who'd be the first to say

[00:02:32] About the children
