《Cactus Tree》歌词

[00:00:00] Cactus Tree - Joni Mitchell

[00:00:11] There's a man who's been out sailing

[00:00:13] In a decade full of dreams

[00:00:16] And he takes her to a schooner

[00:00:18] And he treats her like a queen

[00:00:21] Bearing beads from California

[00:00:23] With their amber stones and green

[00:00:31] He has called her from the harbor

[00:00:34] He has kissed her with his freedom

[00:00:38] He has heard her off to starboard

[00:00:42] In the breaking and the breathing of the water weeds

[00:00:50] While she was busy being free

[00:00:58] There's a man who's climbed a mountain

[00:01:00] And he's calling out her name

[00:01:03] And he hopes her heart can hear

[00:01:05] 3000 miles he calls again

[00:01:08] He can think her there beside him

[00:01:11] He can miss her just the same

[00:01:18] He has missed her in the forest

[00:01:21] While he showed her all the flowers

[00:01:25] And the branches sang the chorus

[00:01:29] As he climbed the scaly towers of a forest tree

[00:01:37] While she was somewhere being free

[00:01:45] There's a man who sent a letter

[00:01:48] And he's waiting for her reply

[00:01:50] He has asked her of her travels

[00:01:53] Since the day they said goodbye

[00:01:55] He writes wish you were beside me

[00:01:58] We could make it if we try

[00:02:05] He has seen her at the office

[00:02:09] With her name on all his papers

[00:02:13] Through the sharing of the profits

[00:02:17] He will find it hard to shake her from these memories

[00:02:25] And she's so busy being free

[00:02:32] There's a lady in the city

[00:02:35] And she thinks she loves them all

[00:02:37] There's the one who's thinking of her

[00:02:40] There's the one who sometimes calls

[00:02:42] There's the one who writes her letters

[00:02:45] With his facts and figures scrawl

[00:02:52] She has brought them to her senses

[00:02:56] They have laughed inside her laughter

[00:02:59] Now she rallies her defenses

[00:03:03] For she fears that one will ask her for eternity

[00:03:12] And she's so busy being free

[00:03:19] There's a man who sends her medals

[00:03:22] He is bleeding from the war

[00:03:24] There's a jouster and a jester and a man who owns a store

[00:03:29] There's a drummer and a dreamer

[00:03:32] And you know there may be more

[00:03:38] She will love them when she sees them

[00:03:42] They will lose her if they follow

[00:03:46] And she only means to please them

[00:03:50] And her heart is full and hollow like a cactus tree

[00:03:58] While she's so busy being free

[00:04:06] Like a cactus tree

[00:04:16] Being free
