Only A Dream-Mary Chapin Carpenter

[00:00.000] 作词 : Carpenter [00:12.99]I can recall the sound of the wind [00:18.12]As it blew through the trees and the trees would bend [00:24.55]I can recall the smell of the rain [00:29.87]On a hot summer night Coming through the screen [00:36.12]I'd crawl in your bed when the lightning flashed [00:42.05]And I'd still be there [00:44.62]when the storm had passed Dead to the world, [00:50.62]to the morning cast [00:54.18]Its light all around your room [01:00.56]We lived on a street where the tall elm shade [01:06.30]Was as green as the grass and as cool as a blade [01:12.49]That you held in your teeth as [01:15.30]we lay on our backs Staring up [01:21.05]at the blue and the blue stared back [01:24.12]I used to believe we were just like those trees [01:30.86]We'd grown just as tall and as proud as [01:35.06] [01:37.11]we pleased With our feet on the ground and our arms in the breeze [01:44.05] [01:49.80]Under a sheltering sky Twirl me about, [01:56.07]and twirl me around Let me grow dizzy and fall to the ground [01:59.94]And when I look up at you looking down, [02:08.44]Say it was only a dream [02:14.76]A big truck was parked in the drive one day [02:20.57]They wrapped us in paper and moved us away [02:26.57]Your room was no longer next door to mine [02:32.57]And this kid sister thing was old by that time [02:38.57]But oh how our dreams went bump in the night [02:44.58]And the voices downstairs getting into a fight [02:50.65]And the next day a silence you could cut with a knife [02:57.34]And feel like a blade at your throat [03:03.65]Twirl me about and twirl me around [03:09.83]Let me grow dizzy and fall to the ground [03:16.46]When I look up at you looking down [03:22.89]Say it as only a dream The day you [03:40.77] [03:47.05]left home you got an early start [03:51.61] [03:53.36]I watched your car back out in the dark [04:00.12]I opened the door to your room down the hall [04:06.12]I turned on the light And all that [04:13.12]I saw Was a bed and a desk and couple of tacks [04:19.50]No sign of someone who expects to be back [04:26.63]It must have been one hell of a suitcase you packed [04:40.50]Twirl me about, twirl me around [04:46.50]Let me grow dizzy and fall to the ground [04:53.32]When I look up at you looking down [04:57.88]Say it was only a dream
