《Polaroids》歌词

[00:00:01] Shawn Colvin - Polaroids

[00:00:12] Please no more therapy

[00:00:14] Mother take care of me

[00:00:17] Piece me together with a

[00:00:20] Needle and thread

[00:00:23] Wrap me in eiderdown

[00:00:26] Lace from your wedding gown

[00:00:28] Fold me and lay me down

[00:00:31] On your bed

[00:00:34] Or liken me to a shoe

[00:00:37] Blackened and spit-shined through

[00:00:40] Kicking back home to you

[00:00:42] Smiling back home

[00:00:45] Singing back home to you

[00:00:48] Laughing back home to you

[00:00:51] Dragging back home to you

[00:00:56] I was so wary then

[00:00:59] The ugly American

[00:01:02] Thinner than oxygen

[00:01:05] Tough as a whore

[00:01:08] I said you can lie to me

[00:01:10] I own what's inside of me

[00:01:13] And nothing surprises me anymore

[00:01:19] But forests in Germany

[00:01:22] Kids in the Tuileries

[00:01:25] Broken-down fortresses

[00:01:27] In old Italy

[00:01:30] And claiming his victory

[00:01:33] Shrouded in mystery

[00:01:36] He went running away with me

[00:01:42] Back in our home New York

[00:01:44] Walking these streets forlorn

[00:01:47] We all in our uniforms

[00:01:50] Black and black

[00:01:53] Doing that slouch and jive

[00:01:55] The artist must survive

[00:01:58] We've got all we need we cried

[00:02:01] And we don't look back

[00:02:04] Thinking we had it made

[00:02:07] Poised for the hit parade

[00:02:09] Knee deep in accolades

[00:02:12] The conceptual pair

[00:02:15] But ever the malcontent

[00:02:18] He left without incident

[00:02:20] Vanished into thin air

[00:03:12] Now I am always amazed

[00:03:14] Words can fill up a page

[00:03:17] Pages fill up the days

[00:03:20] Between him and me

[00:03:22] But the vows that we never keep

[00:03:25] From bedrooms to business-speak

[00:03:28] Make me remember how cheap

[00:03:31] Words can be

[00:03:34] And the letters I wrote you of

[00:03:37] Were those of the desperate stuff

[00:03:39] Like begging for love in a suicide threat

[00:03:45] But I am too young to die

[00:03:48] Too old for a lullaby

[00:03:50] Too tired for life on the ledge

[00:03:56] But I had a dream last night

[00:03:59] Of lovers who walked the plank

[00:04:02] Out on the edge of time

[00:04:05] Amidst ridicule

[00:04:08] They laughed as they rocked and reeled

[00:04:11] Over the mining fields

[00:04:13] Coming to rest on this ship of fools

[00:04:19] But he just took polaroids

[00:04:21] Of her smile in the light

[00:04:25] Of the dawn of the menacing sky

[00:04:30] And before they went overboard

[00:04:33] She turned and held up a card

[00:04:36] And it said Valentine
