《For The Sake Of The Song》歌词

[00:00:02] For The Sake Of The Song - Townes Van Zandt

[00:00:05] Why does she sing these sad songs for me

[00:00:09] I'm not the one to tenderly bring her soft sympathy

[00:00:17] I've just begun to see my way clear it's plain if I stop I will fall

[00:00:29] I can lay down a tear for her pain a tear and that's all

[00:00:37] What does she want me to do

[00:00:41] She says that she knows moments are rare

[00:00:45] I suppose that it's true and on she goes to say

[00:00:52] I don't care when she knows that I do

[00:01:00] Well maybe she just has to sing

[00:01:03] For the sake of the song

[00:01:09] And who do I think that I am

[00:01:11] To decide that she's wrong

[00:01:28] She'd like to think I was cruel she knows that's a lie

[00:01:34] For I would be no more than a tool if I allowed her to cry all over me

[00:01:45] Oh my sorrow is real even though I can't change my plans

[00:01:53] If she could see how I feel then I know she'd understand

[00:02:02] Does she actually think I'm to blame

[00:02:07] Does she really believe that some word of mine

[00:02:12] Could relieve all her pain

[00:02:14] Can't she see that she grieves just

[00:02:17] Because she's been blindly deceived by her shame

[00:02:25] Well maybe she just has to sing

[00:02:28] For the sake of the song

[00:02:34] And who do I think that I am

[00:02:37] To decide that she's wrong

[00:02:54] I know nothings what it seems maybe one day she'll start to realize

[00:03:02] That if she abandons her dreams

[00:03:05] Then all the words she can say are only lies

[00:03:11] When will she see that the gain is only to lose

[00:03:19] All that she offers me are her chains and I got to refuse

[00:03:27] But it's only to herself that she's lied

[00:03:32] She likes to pretend it's something

[00:03:34] That she should defend with her pride

[00:03:40] And I don't intend to stand here

[00:03:43] And be the friend from whom she must hide

[00:03:50] Well maybe she just has to sing

[00:03:53] For the sake of the song

[00:03:59] And who do I think that I am

[00:04:01] To decide that she's wrong

[00:04:06] Well maybe she just has to sing

[00:04:10] For the sake of the song
