《Melancholy Child》歌词

[00:00:00] Melancholy Child - Pam Tillis

[00:00:16] A baby with a baby

[00:00:18] Just barely seventeen

[00:00:20] My mother mourned her innocence

[00:00:22] As she bounced on her knee

[00:00:24] A daddy on the road

[00:00:25] Added to the tears and trials

[00:00:29] Like silver rain they fell upon this melancholy child

[00:00:37] The sounds of my childhood still linger in my song

[00:00:41] My mother's lullaby

[00:00:42] That train that rain behind our home

[00:00:45] A whippoorwill on a windowsill

[00:00:47] It should have made me smile

[00:00:50] But everything sounds lonely to a melancholy child

[00:00:59] Now a restless blood runs in our family

[00:01:03] I thought I could outrun the emptiness inside of me

[00:01:09] So I went a little crazy and I went a little wild

[00:01:13] Trying to outdistance my own melancholy child

[00:01:32] I met a kind and gentle man

[00:01:34] Who thinks the world of me

[00:01:36] When he looks my way

[00:01:38] It's a woman that he sees

[00:01:40] But when I can't explain to him

[00:01:42] The tears that fill my eyes

[00:01:45] He takes me in his arms

[00:01:46] And rocks his melancholy child

[00:01:49] You take a black Irish temper

[00:01:51] And some solemn Cherokee

[00:01:54] A Southern sense of humor

[00:01:55] And you got someone like me

[00:02:00] There are thorns on every rose

[00:02:01] To this I'm reconciled

[00:02:04] They're just a little sharper to a melancholy child

[00:02:09] And in my own babe's eyes

[00:02:13] I see the signs of a melancholy child

[00:02:29] Heaven help us all another melancholy child
