《Like A River》歌词

[00:00:01] Like A River---Carly Simon

[00:00:03] Dear mother the struggle is over now

[00:00:08] And your house is up for sale

[00:00:12] We divided your railway watches

[00:00:16] Between the four of us

[00:00:21] I fought over the pearls

[00:00:26] With the other girls

[00:00:29] But it was all a metaphor

[00:00:32] For what was wrong with us

[00:00:36] As the room is emptying out

[00:00:39] Your face so young comes into view

[00:00:44] And on the back porch is a well-worn step

[00:00:49] And a pool of light you can walk into

[00:00:54] I'll wait no more for you like a daughter

[00:01:02] That part of our life together is over

[00:01:09] But I will wait for you forever

[00:01:17] Like a river

[00:01:33] Can you clear up the mystery of the Sphinx

[00:01:36] Do you know any more about God

[00:01:38] Are you dancing with Benjamin Franklin

[00:01:43] On the face of the moon

[00:01:47] Have you reconciled with Dad

[00:01:50] Does the rain still make you sad

[00:01:54] Last night I swear I could feel you

[00:01:57] Moving through my room

[00:02:02] And I thought you touched my feet

[00:02:04] I so wanted it to be true

[00:02:08] In my theater there is a stage

[00:02:12] And a footlight you can step into

[00:02:18] I'll wait no more for you like a daughter

[00:02:26] That part of our life together is over

[00:02:33] But I will wait for you forever

[00:02:42] Like a river

[00:02:50] In the river I know I will find the key

[00:03:16] And your voice will rise like the spray

[00:03:19] In the moment of knowing

[00:03:21] The tide will wash away my doubt

[00:03:27] 'Cause you're already home

[00:03:30] Making it nice for when I come home

[00:03:36] Like the way I find my bed turned down

[00:03:39] Coming in from a late night out

[00:03:43] Please keep reminding me

[00:03:45] Of what in my soul I know is true

[00:03:49] Come in my boat there's a seat beside me

[00:03:54] And two or three stars we can gaze into

[00:04:01] I'll wait no more for you like a daughter

[00:04:09] That part of our life together is over

[00:04:15] But I will wait for you forever

[00:04:28] Like a river
