《The Silver Lady》歌词

[00:00:02] the silver lady-suzanne vega

[00:00:03] When I was a little girl

[00:00:11] Younger than nine or ten

[00:00:17] I once spoke to the Silver Lady

[00:00:20] But I never saw her again.

[00:00:33] To me she flew out of the sky

[00:00:38] She was born riding on the water

[00:00:45] Her hair blew all around her

[00:00:49] She was the crazy man's only daughter.

[00:00:52] I used to see her every day

[00:01:01] Riding her golden pony

[00:01:07] Only once did I hear her laugh

[00:01:12] And it echoed far and lonely.

[00:01:19] Once I watched the river run

[00:01:23] And I wandered too far from home

[00:01:30] There I met the Silver Lady

[00:01:32] She was crying, all alone.

[00:01:45] I said, 'Lady, why are you crying?

[00:01:51] If I had wings like you

[00:01:56] I would be flying over this river

[00:02:01] And singing like only birds do.'

[00:02:07] Well she threw back her head and she smiled at me

[00:02:13] Her tears, how they shone in the sun

[00:02:18] She said, 'I have no wings to fly with

[00:02:23] If I did I would surely be gone.

[00:02:29] 'My brothers have all gone far away

[00:02:33] To follow their hearts and be free

[00:02:40] But I am the youngest and my father is ageing

[00:02:46] And all he's got left is me.

[00:02:57] 'I love my father dearly

[00:03:01] Madman though he may be

[00:03:08] It would break his heart if I should leave him

[00:03:14] But this life is killing me.

[00:03:16] 'I feel the ocean pulling me

[00:03:25] The breezes come and tell me things

[00:03:30] and i want to go with them wherever they go

[00:03:36] And see what the new morning brings.'

[00:03:40] and she sadly turned away from me

[00:03:45] and I stumbled my way back home

[00:03:50] The next day I heard she had taken her horse

[00:03:58] And gone off to parts unknown.

[00:04:09] Her father stayed inside his lonely house

[00:04:14] And he never more came into town

[00:04:20] He could be seen roaming the riverside

[00:04:25] And they say that he jumped in and drowned.

[00:04:31] Long though I waited, she never returned

[00:04:37] But when I felt a silver breeze

[00:04:43] I knew she had sent it from wherever she was

[00:04:48] To tell us that now she was free.
