《Song For Sharon(LP版)》歌词

[00:00:00] Song For Sharon (LP版) - Joni Mitchell (琼妮·米切尔)

[00:00:00] Written by：Joni Mitchell

[00:00:20] I went to Staten island

[00:00:22] To buy myself a mandolin

[00:00:27] And I saw the long white dress of love

[00:00:31] On a storefront mannequin

[00:00:37] Big boat chuggin' back with a belly full of cars

[00:00:41] All for something lacy

[00:00:45] Some girl's going to see that dress

[00:00:48] And crave that day like crazy

[00:01:04] Little Indian kids on a bridge up in Canada

[00:01:07] They can balance and they can climb

[00:01:13] Like their fathers before them

[00:01:16] They'll walk the girders of the Manhattan skyline

[00:01:22] Shine your light on me miss liberty

[00:01:27] Because as soon as this ferry boat docks

[00:01:31] I'm headed to the church

[00:01:33] To play bingo

[00:01:35] Fleece me with the gamblers' flocks

[00:01:50] I can keep my cool at poker

[00:01:52] But I'm a fool when love's at stake

[00:01:59] Because I can't conceal emotion

[00:02:01] What I'm feeling's always written on my face

[00:02:08] There's a gypsy down on bleecker street

[00:02:13] I went in to see her as a kind of joke

[00:02:16] And she lit a candle for my love luck

[00:02:19] And eighteen bucks went up in smoke

[00:02:35] Sharon I left my man

[00:02:38] At a north Dakota junction

[00:02:44] And I came out to the big apple here

[00:02:47] To face the dream's malfunction

[00:02:54] Love's a repetitious danger

[00:02:58] You'd think I'd be accustomed to

[00:03:02] Well I do accept the changes

[00:03:06] At least better than I used to do

[00:03:30] A woman I knew just drowned herself

[00:03:33] The well was deep and muddy

[00:03:39] She was just shaking off futility

[00:03:42] Or punishing somebody

[00:03:48] My friends were calling up all day yesterday

[00:03:53] All emotions and abstractions

[00:03:56] It seems we all live so close to that line

[00:04:00] And so far from satisfaction

[00:04:16] Dora says have children

[00:04:18] Mama and Betsy say find yourself a charity

[00:04:25] Help the needy and the crippled or put some time into ecology

[00:04:34] Well there's a wide wide world of noble causes

[00:04:39] And lovely landscapes to discover

[00:04:43] But all I really want right now

[00:04:45] Is find another lover

[00:05:01] When we were kids in maidstone Sharon

[00:05:04] I went to every wedding in that little town

[00:05:10] To see the tears and the kisses

[00:05:13] And the pretty lady in the white lace wedding gown

[00:05:20] And walking home on the railroad tracks

[00:05:23] Or swinging on the playground swing

[00:05:27] Love stimulated my illusions

[00:05:32] More than anything

[00:05:38] And when I went skating after golden Reggie

[00:05:41] You know it was white lace I was chasing

[00:05:46] Chasing dreams

[00:05:49] Mama's nylons underneath my cowgirl jeans

[00:05:56] He showed me first you get the kisses

[00:06:01] And then you get the tears

[00:06:05] But the ceremony of the bells and lace

[00:06:08] Still veils this reckless fool here

[00:06:24] Now there are 29 skaters on Holman rink

[00:06:27] Circling in singles and in pairs

[00:06:33] In this vigorous anonymity

[00:06:35] A blank face at the window stares and stares and stares and stares

[00:06:43] And the power of reason

[00:06:46] And the flowers of deep feeling

[00:06:50] Seem to serve me

[00:06:52] Only to deceive me

[00:07:10] Sharon you've got a husband

[00:07:12] And a family and a farm

[00:07:18] I've got the apple of temptation

[00:07:21] And a diamond snake around my arm

[00:07:27] But you still have your music

[00:07:31] And I've still got my eyes on the land and the sky

[00:07:35] You sing for your friends and your family

[00:07:38] I'll walk green pastures by and by
