《Only A Dream》歌词

[00:00:00] Only A Dream - Mary Chapin Carpenter (玛丽翠萍·卡本特)

[00:00:13] I can recall the sound of the wind

[00:00:19] As it blew throught the trees and the trees would bend

[00:00:25] I can recall the smell of the rain

[00:00:31] On a hot summer night

[00:00:34] Coming through the screen

[00:00:37] I'd crawl in your bed when the lightning flashed

[00:00:43] And I'd still be there when the storm had passed

[00:00:50] Dead to the world to the morning cast

[00:00:56] Its light all around your room

[00:01:03] We lived on a street where the tall elm shade

[00:01:09] Was as green as the grass and as cool as a blade

[00:01:15] That you held in your teeth as we lay on our backs

[00:01:22] Staring up at the blue and the blue stared back

[00:01:28] I used to believe we were just like those trees

[00:01:34] We'd grown just as tall and as proud as we pleased

[00:01:41] With our feet on the ground and our arms in the breeze

[00:01:48] Under a sheltering sky

[00:01:55] Twirl me about and twirl me around

[00:02:00] Let me grow dizzy and fall to the ground

[00:02:07] And when I look up at you looking down

[00:02:14] Say it was only a dream

[00:02:22] A big truck was parked in the drive one day

[00:02:28] They wrapped us in paper and moved us away

[00:02:34] Your room was no longer next door to mine

[00:02:41] And this kid sister thing was old by that time

[00:02:47] But oh how our dreams went bump in the night

[00:02:54] And the voices downstairs getting into a fight

[00:03:01] And the next day a silence you could cut with a knife

[00:03:07] And feel like a blade at your throat

[00:03:15] Twirl me about and twirl me around

[00:03:21] Let me grow dizzy and fall to the ground

[00:03:28] When I look up at you looking down

[00:03:35] Say it as only a dream

[00:04:16] The day you left home you got an early start

[00:04:22] I watched your car back out in the dark

[00:04:28] I opened the door to your room down the hall

[00:04:35] I turned on the light

[00:04:38] And all that I saw

[00:04:41] Was a bed and a desk and couple of tacks

[00:04:48] No sign of someone who expects to be back

[00:04:54] It must have been one hell of a suitcase you packed

[00:05:09] Twirl me about twirl me around

[00:05:15] Let me grow dizzy and fall to the ground

[00:05:22] When I look up at you looking down

[00:05:29] Say it was only a dream
