[00:00:00] That's The Way I've Always Heard It Should Be - Carly Simon (卡莉·西蒙)

[00:00:00] Written by：Carly Simon/Jacob Brackman

[00:00:01] My father sits at night with no lights on

[00:00:08] His cigarette glows in the dark

[00:00:15] The living room is still

[00:00:18] I walk by no remark

[00:00:28] I tiptoe past the master bedroom where

[00:00:35] My mother reads her magazines

[00:00:42] I hear her call sweet dreams

[00:00:45] But I forgot how to dream

[00:00:56] But you say it's time we moved in together

[00:01:02] And raised a family of our own you and me

[00:01:08] Well that's the way I've always heard it should be

[00:01:13] You want to marry me we'll marry

[00:01:23] My friends from college they're all married now

[00:01:29] They have their houses and their lawns

[00:01:37] They have their silent noons

[00:01:40] Tearful nights angry dawns

[00:01:50] Their children hate them for the things they're not

[00:01:57] They hate themselves for what they are

[00:02:04] And yet they drink they laugh

[00:02:07] Close the wound hide the scar

[00:02:19] But you say it's time we moved in together

[00:02:25] And raised a family of our own you and me

[00:02:31] Well that's the way I've always heard it should be

[00:02:36] You want to marry me we'll marry

[00:02:47] You say that we can keep our love alive

[00:02:54] Babe all I know is what I see

[00:03:01] The couples cling and claw

[00:03:04] And drown in love's debris

[00:03:15] You say we'll soar like two birds through the clouds

[00:03:21] But soon you'll cage me on your shelf

[00:03:28] I'll never learn to be just me first

[00:03:33] By myself

[00:03:43] Well okay it's time we moved in together

[00:03:49] And raised a family of our own you and me

[00:03:55] Well that's the way I've always heard it should be

[00:04:00] You want to marry me we'll marry

[00:04:08] We'll marry
