《Thelma》歌词

[00:00:00] Thelma - Paul Simon

[00:00:26] If a baby is born and no one complains

[00:00:30] Then that's good luck runnin' through young veins

[00:00:36] And if life is a blessing

[00:00:38] That brushes the tops of the trees

[00:00:41] Well it's a short walk in a sweet breeze

[00:00:45] I will need you feed you

[00:00:47] Seed you plead with you

[00:00:51] All for a taste of your sweet love Thelma

[00:00:56] If the heart is an open memory book

[00:01:00] That was the chance I took

[00:01:02] The more I searched

[00:01:03] The more I shook for Thelma

[00:01:07] Last night I slept on a rented pillow

[00:01:10] A silver moon above my head

[00:01:17] A thirsty dreamless sleep released me

[00:01:21] And I reached for the phone by the side of the bed

[00:01:37] Now the first time that I saw you I thought

[00:01:41] She's beautiful but she's too young to be caught

[00:01:47] People aware of my history

[00:01:49] Trying to steer you away from me

[00:01:52] I left a message at your hotel

[00:01:54] Don't let management poison the well

[00:01:56] I will need you feed you

[00:01:58] Seed you plead with you

[00:02:02] All for a taste of your sweet love Thelma

[00:02:07] The phone is ringing and I realize

[00:02:11] We are time zones and oceans apart

[00:02:17] The words I speak in the middle of my night

[00:02:22] Fall on your yesterday's heart

[00:02:48] If the sun don't shine

[00:02:48] If the wind don't break

[00:02:50] If the clock don't jump off the wall

[00:02:52] Thelma my darlin' I will cushion your fall

[00:02:57] I will need you feed you

[00:02:58] Seed you plead with you

[00:03:03] Without the taste of your sweet love Thelma

[00:03:08] I am only a man who skirted the edge of despair

[00:03:12] For a long time now

[00:03:15] And I don't care

[00:03:18] I watch you sleeping in the hospital bed

[00:03:23] The baby curled up in a ball

[00:03:28] Winter sunlight hits the family tree

[00:03:33] And everything else becomes nothing at all
