《In the Twilight》歌词

[00:00:10] She's a lady

[00:00:12] And she barely knows her name now

[00:00:15] In the twilight as she sleeps

[00:00:20] And her memories chase her down the days of childhood

[00:00:26] There was music always music

[00:00:31] And her brothers there was Robert

[00:00:35] The captain of a freighter that sailed to China

[00:00:41] There was Shannon who ran off one icy morning

[00:00:46] And then Herbert and then Frank all so handsome

[00:00:52] And her sisters who were beautiful

[00:00:56] And yearned to be together

[00:01:02] She's a lady

[00:01:04] And she's sleeping like a princess

[00:01:07] Who will wake up and drink amber

[00:01:12] From a slipper made of diamonds

[00:01:16] She was married to a blind man who was my father

[00:01:23] Such a charmer and another whose name was Robert

[00:01:28] Who holds her fragile hand while I am weeping

[00:01:34] Chardonnay in a crystal glass

[00:01:38] Amethysts on her fingers

[00:01:40] Roses and forget me nots

[00:01:44] In the garden where she lingered

[00:01:46] All around her the snowy peaks

[00:01:51] Drew her eyes with wonder

[00:01:56] All of her betrayals drowned

[00:01:58] In the roaring canyon's thunder

[00:02:13] She's a lady

[00:02:16] And she always dressed in silk and had her hair done

[00:02:21] And her clothes were pretty colors

[00:02:25] And the scent of Chanel in her satin cloak

[00:02:30] When she went dancing with my father

[00:02:36] When they were very young

[00:02:43] She's a lady

[00:02:45] And saw nearly twenty presidents and she voted for Obama

[00:02:53] In the old days

[00:02:55] Sipping Presbyterians she'd argue with her children

[00:03:00] Who had opinions about everything that mattered

[00:03:07] And she'd tell of the time she saw Rachmaninoff

[00:03:15] Chardonnay in a crystal glass amethysts in her

[00:03:20] Necklace Roses and forget me nots

[00:03:24] And three sons so fine and reckless

[00:03:28] Daughters too who were free like her

[00:03:31] One who sang and one who painted

[00:03:34] She loved them all ever more and more

[00:03:38] And thought all of us should be sainted

[00:03:48] She's a lady

[00:03:50] And she barely knows my name now

[00:03:53] In the twilight and she sleeps most of the day

[00:03:58] And when she wakes up she says that she's going home

[00:04:03] And asks me how I knew where to find her

[00:04:08] In this home that's not her home

[00:04:13] She sees her garden

[00:04:16] Growing wild since she had to leave the sweetness

[00:04:21] Of those afternoons on her patio

[00:04:24] Where Robert kept the flowers blooming

[00:04:29] She's a lady

[00:04:32] And she's going home she tells me

[00:04:34] In the twilight as her eyes close

[00:04:37] I ask her where

[00:04:43] And she says that it's a secret

[00:04:47] Then she's gone just like the flowers in her garden

[00:04:57] Chardonnay in a crystal glass amethysts on her fingers

[00:05:04] Roses and forget me nots in the garden

[00:05:08] Where she lingered

[00:05:11] All around her the snowy peaks

[00:05:14] Drew her eyes with wonder

[00:05:19] All of her betrayals drowned

[00:05:21] In the roaring canyon's thunder

[00:05:31] Marjorie my mother sweet Marjorie of the garden

[00:05:41] That blooms now in my heart
