경쟁상대들(Helen Reddy(헬렌 레디)는 포기했고 Anne Murray(앤 머레이)는 늘 똑같고 Loretta Lynn(로레타 린)의 최신앨범은 형편없다.)을 살펴본 후에 나는 이 MOR 무적의 상대에 대해 이교도적인 생각을 해보기 시작했다. 그녀의 중부 애틀란틱해 억양은 Tammy Wynette(타미 윈넷)으로 하여금 그녀를 제외하는 컨츄리 뮤직 연합을 만들게 자극했다. '그래도 목소리는 섹시하잖아'라고 중얼거렸는데 곧 Carola(카롤라)가 그 생각을 바로 잡았다. '게이샤'라고 그녀는 코방귀를 뀌며 말한다. '그녀는 남자들을 즐겁게 하기 위해 일부러 실제보다 자신을 목소리를 작게 냈어'. 그 순간 나는 나의 이교도적 생각을 버리고 하던 설거지를 마무리했다. .... ....
There was a time when I was in a hurry as you are I was like you There was a day when I just had to tell my point of view I was like you No I don′t mean to make you frown, no I just want you to slow down
Chorus: Have you never been mellow, have you never tried To find a comfort from inside you Have you never been happy just to hear your song Have you never let someone else be strong
Running around as you do, with your head up in the clouds I was like you Never had time to lay back, kick your shoes off, close your eyes I was like you Now you′re not hard to understand, you need someone to take your hand
If you could see me now The one who said that she'd rather roam The one who said she'd rather be alone If you could only see me now
If I could hold you now Just for a moment if I could make you mine Just for a while turn back the hands of time If I could only hold you now
I've been too long in the wind Too long in the rain Taking any comfort that I can Looking back and a-longing for the freedom of my chains Lying in your loving arms again
If you could hear me now Singing somewhere through a lonely night Dreaming of the arms that held me tight If you could only hear me now
I've been too long in the wind Too long in the rain Taking any comfort that I can Looking back and a-longing for the freedom of my chains Lying in your loving arms again I want to be lying in your loving arms again
The river keeps on rolling My lifestream keeps on flowing Only you know what you're doing to my soul My dreams call on tomorrow My love knows all my sorrow Only you know what you're doing to my soul
Stay with me and we'll find a way I'll be your night if you'll be my day Through the dawn and beyond the sky We can fly, you and I Only you know what you're doing to my soul
The river keeps on rolling My lifestream keeps on flowing Only you know what you're doing to my soul Only you know what you're doing to my soul
It's five o'clock this morning and the sun is on the rise There's frosting on the window pane and sorrow in your eyes The stars are fading quietly, the night is nearly gone You slowly turn away from me and tears begin to come
And it's Goodbye again, I'm sorry to be leaving you Goodbye again, 'cause if you didn't know It's goodbye again, and I wish you could tell me Why do we always fight when I have to go?
It seems a shame to leave you now, the days are soft and warm I long to lay me down again and hold you in my arms I long to kiss the tears away and give you back your smile But other voices beckon me and for a little while
It's Goodbye again, I'm sorry to be leaving you Goodbye again, 'cause if you didn't know It's goodbye again, and I wish you could tell me Why do we always fight when I have to go?
I have to go and see some friends of mine, and some that I don't know And some who aren't familiar with my name It's something that's inside of me, not hard to understand It's anyone who will listen to me sing
But if your arms are empty now, then who am I to blame You think if I was always here our love would be the same But as it is, the time we have is worth the time alone And lying by your side, the greatest peace I've ever known
But it's Goodbye again, I'm sorry to be leaving you Goodbye again, 'cause if you didn't know It's goodbye again, and I wish you could tell me Why do we always fight when I have to go?
Yesterday the rains came down, there was darkness all around They told me you had gone to find a new life But you left no word of where you'd gone, I fell right to the ground And I needed all the help I could get to set me on my feet again
Water under the bridge carried my pain away from me He was there trying to love and comfort me Water under the bridge, I'm amazed at the change in me I'm growing up, getting stronger constantly
I watched the ever-flowing stream as it washed away my dream I felt like diving in and taking a ride But the stranger took me by the hand and held me by his side When I needed all the help I could get to set me on my feet again
Water under the bridge carried my pain away from me He was there trying to love and comfort me Water under the bridge, I'm amazed at the change in me I'm growing up, getting stronger constantly
When I remember how I cried and how I nearly died All for a man who had gone to find a new life Now I can laugh, my friend's so fine he never seemed to mind When I needed all the help I could get to set me on my feet again
Water under the bridge carried my pain away from me He was there trying to love and comfort me Water under the bridge, I'm amazed at the change in me I'm growing up, getting stronger constantly I'm growing up, getting stronger constantly, yeah
I never did sing you a love song I only sang phrases in time I never did write you a sonnet I just laid my WORDS down in rhymes Up and down the river, so many boats to ride Yet precious few deliver the goods that we need to survive
I never spoke falsely or crossly I never put tears in your eyes And you never shattered my lonely heart You never deceived me with lies And yet somehow I seem to recall I STIRRED in my sleep for a while Dreaming of a river man exchanging my life for a smile
Bringing it on yourself Bringing it on yourself All the promises you made to me You know can never be
Shouldn't have been so nice Shouldn't have been so nice Oh, you should've known my love would grow Now I just can't let go Now I just can't let go
It's so easy to say too much Castles in the sand that wash away It's so easy to pledge yourself When you cannot pay It's so easy to tell yourself Things'll work out fine It's so easy to break a heart Like you're breaking mine
Nobody else to blame Nobody else to blame Did you ever stop to count the cost Of those who've loved and lost? Living without your love Living without your love I'll just have to learn to face the fact That I can't bring you back That I can't bring you back
It's so easy to say too much Castles in the sand that wash away It's so easy to pledge yourself When you cannot pay It's so easy to tell yourself Things'll work out fine It's so easy to break a heart Like you're breaking mine
It's so easy to break a heart Like you're breaking mine
If I could make a wish, I think I'd pass Can't think of anything I need No cigarettes, no sleep, no light, no sound Nothing to eat, no books to read Making love with you has left me peaceful, warm, and tired What more could I ask, there's nothing left to be desired Peace came upon me and it leaves me weak So sleep, silent angel, go to sleep
Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe and to love you All I need is the air that I breathe, yes, to love you All I need is the air that I breathe
Peace came upon me and it leaves me weak So sleep, silent angel, go to sleep
Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe and to love you All I need is the air that I breathe, yes, to love you All I need is the air that I breathe
Peace came upon me and it leaves me weak So sleep, silent angel, go to sleep
It's by far the hardest thing I've ever done To be so in love with you and so alone
Follow me where I go What I do and who I know Make it part of you to be a part of me Follow me up and down All the way and all around Take my hand and say you'll follow me
It's long been on my mind You know it's been a long long time I've tried to find a way that I could make you understand The way I feel about you And just how much I need you To be there when I can talk to you When there's no one else around
Follow me where I go What I do and who I know Make it part of you to be a part of me Follow me up and down All the way and all around Take my hand and say you'll follow me
You see, I'd like to share my life with you And show you things I've seen Places that I'm going to And places where I've been To have you there beside me, we'll never be alone And all the time that you're with me Then we will be at home
Follow me where I go What I do and who I know Make it part of you to be a part of me Follow me up and down All the way and all around Take my hand and say you'll follow me
In the early morning when I'm lying by your side Doubts go through my mind, thoughts I try to hide Lying there I wonder if your love for me is real Or just another fantasy
Then I try to think about the way things used to be Misty memories, hazy like a dream All we did together, all the things we planned to do There was only me and you
And in the morning I touch you And I find you're still there I want to tell you that I love you Please never leave me In the morning light I turn to look at you And hope that you still care
When I look back on our life, the pieces fall in place Words that went unsaid, pictures of your face All those things we shared, yet stay together day by day Cause our love was never far away
And in the morning I touch you And I find you're still there I want to tell you that I love you Please never leave me In the morning light I turn to look at you And hope that you still care
In the corner of the bar there stands a jukebox With the best of country music, old and new You can hear your five selections for a quarter And somebody else's songs when yours are through
I got good Kentucky whiskey on the counter And my friends around to help me ease the pain 'Til some button-pushing cowboy plays that love song And here I am just missing you again
Please, Mr., please, don't play B-17 It was our song, it was his song, but it's over Please, Mr., please, if you know what I mean I don't ever wanna hear that song again
If I had a dime for every time I held you Though you're far away, you've been so close to me I could swear I'd be the richest girl in Nashville Maybe even in the state of Tennessee
But I guess I'd better get myself together 'Cause when you left, you didn't leave too much behind Just a note that said "I'm sorry" by your picture And a song that's weighing heavy on my mind
Please, Mr., please, don't play B-17 It was our song, it was his song, but it's over Please, Mr., please, if you know what I mean I don't ever wanna hear that song again
