《For the Roses》歌词

[00:00:00] For The Roses - Cassandra Wilson (卡珊卓·威尔森)

[00:01:22] I heard it in the wind last night

[00:01:25] It sounded like applause

[00:01:28] Did you get a round resounding for you

[00:01:32] Way up here

[00:01:35] It seems like many dim years ago

[00:01:39] Since I heard that face to face

[00:01:42] Or seen you face to face

[00:01:44] Though tonight I can feel you here

[00:01:48] I get these notes

[00:01:49] On butterflies and lilac sprays

[00:01:53] From girls who just have to tell me

[00:01:58] They saw you somewhere

[00:02:11] In some office sits a poet

[00:02:15] And he trembles as he sings

[00:02:18] And he asks someone

[00:02:20] To circulate his soul around

[00:02:25] On your mark red ribbon runner

[00:02:29] The caressing rev of motors

[00:02:31] Finely tuned like fancy women

[00:02:34] In thirties evening gowns

[00:02:39] Up the charts

[00:02:40] Off to the airport-

[00:02:41] Your name's in the news

[00:02:43] Everything's first class-

[00:02:46] The lights go down-

[00:02:48] And it's just you up there

[00:02:51] Getting them to feel like that

[00:03:01] Do you remember the days when you used to sit

[00:03:05] And make up your tunes for love

[00:03:08] And pour your simple sorrow

[00:03:11] To the soundhole and your knee

[00:03:15] And now you're seen

[00:03:16] On giant screens

[00:03:19] And at parties for the press

[00:03:22] And for people who have slices of you

[00:03:25] From the company

[00:03:28] They toss around your latest golden egg

[00:03:32] Speculation well who's to know

[00:03:35] If the next one in the nest

[00:03:39] Will glitter for them so

[00:03:52] I guess I seem ungrateful

[00:03:55] With my teeth sunk in the hand

[00:03:58] That brings me things

[00:04:00] I really can't give up just yet

[00:04:05] Now I sit up here

[00:04:07] The critic

[00:04:09] And they introduce some band

[00:04:11] But they seem so much confetti

[00:04:13] Looking at them on my TV set

[00:04:18] Oh the power and the glory

[00:04:21] Just when you're getting a taste for worship

[00:04:24] They start bringing out the hammers

[00:04:30] And the boards

[00:04:32] And the nails

[00:04:42] I heard it in the wind last night

[00:04:45] It sounded like applause

[00:04:48] Chilly now

[00:04:49] End of summer

[00:04:51] No more shiny hot nights

[00:04:55] It was just the arbutus rustling

[00:04:59] And the bumping of the logs

[00:05:01] And the moon swept down black water

[00:05:04] Like an empty spotlight
