《The Portrait》歌词

[00:00:00] The Portrait (肖像) - Amanda McBroom

[00:00:11] There's a picture in a silver frame

[00:00:17] Hanging dusty on my wall

[00:00:22] And two people with their eyes

[00:00:28] The same holding daisies I recall

[00:00:33] And the baby in the sailor dress

[00:00:37] And the pigtails - that was me

[00:00:43] And the other was my mother

[00:00:49] On our Easter by the sea

[00:00:55] People tell me that I'm just like her

[00:01:01] And I wonder what they see

[00:01:06] She was lady lace and cameo

[00:01:10] Not the gypsy that is me

[00:01:16] She spent her evenings making poetry

[00:01:20] I spend my nights making time

[00:01:23] And I wonder

[00:01:26] Am I living partly her dreams

[00:01:30] Partly mine

[00:01:35] What would she think of the too many men

[00:01:39] The lies I get lost in again and again

[00:01:44] The tears in the morning

[00:01:47] The booze and the blues in the night

[00:01:59] It's been years now since I've seen her face

[00:02:07] Heard her footsteps on the stair

[00:02:10] But just lately in my dreams at night

[00:02:14] I will call her and she's there

[00:02:19] Looking pretty like she used to

[00:02:23] Before time and tears tore her apart

[00:02:28] And she tells me that she loves me

[00:02:32] Then she leaves me in the dark

[00:02:39] Mama don't leave me

[00:02:42] Mama don't go

[00:02:44] You know the answers to all I don't know

[00:02:48] My dreams come up empty

[00:02:50] And my hearts lying dead on the floor

[00:02:56] Mama don't leave me

[00:02:58] Mama please stay

[00:03:00] Mama I need you to show me the way

[00:03:04] I'm lost and I'm lonely and

[00:03:07] I can't find my way anymore

[00:03:17] Mama -- Mama
