《Birthday Song》歌词

[00:00:00] Birthday Song (生日歌) - Indigo Girls

[00:00:01] Like the lottery

[00:00:02] And I'll make you feel like you've won

[00:00:02] And I'll bet the next time you see me

[00:00:02] In a world of partial truths

[00:00:02] You will fully believe me

[00:00:03] I have nothing to give except but to live

[00:00:03] Like the person you know me to be

[00:00:03] Life is short and so on

[00:00:03] I'd like to give you something to go on

[00:00:03] Grow on

[00:00:03] They recently paved the walk on our street

[00:00:04] We looked at the shiny cement

[00:00:04] We stopped the car ready to carve

[00:00:04] Our names into permanence

[00:00:04] For a moment we're kids

[00:00:04] Intent on a whim

[00:00:04] There is no shadowy past

[00:00:04] But even so the urge is to go

[00:00:04] And put something down

[00:00:05] That will last

[00:00:05] So here goes

[00:00:05] The next time I show up for you

[00:00:05] You will know

[00:00:05] And believe

[00:00:05] I am ready to give

[00:00:05] Ready to live

[00:00:05] Like the person you know me to be

[00:00:33] I couldn't think of a thing to write

[00:00:41] On your birthday card

[00:00:50] Considered the poets

[00:00:56] But they didn't know what

[00:01:03] Lay quite inside my heart

[00:01:18] I thought of Atlanta

[00:01:26] I thought of Toronoto

[00:02:06] And all of the places we've been

[00:02:08] I filled up my tea and looked into the trees

[00:02:12] And still came up empty again

[00:02:14] So I guess the next time you see me

[00:02:17] In a world of partial truths

[00:02:19] You will fully believe me

[00:02:29] I have nothing to give except but to live

[00:02:33] Like the person you know me to be

[00:02:39] I can clean up the kitchen

[00:02:42] And fold up your clothes

[00:02:46] Neatley as I am able

[00:02:50] Wrap a box up with ties for a surprise

[00:03:02] And order you flowers for the table

[00:03:15] I could book us a trip

[00:03:24] On a plane or ship

[00:03:38] I know how much you love the sun

[00:03:59] You could gamble on me
