You're Aging Well (Live)-Joan Baez

[00:00.00] 作曲 : Dar Williams [00:21.84]Why is it that as we grow older and stronger [00:25.80]The road signs point us adrift and make us afraid [00:30.09]Saying, 'You never can win' [00:31.92]'Watch your back', 'Where's your husband?' [00:34.65]I don't like the signs that the signmakers made [00:38.34]So I'm going to steal out with my paint and brushes [00:44.55]I'll change the directions, I'll hit every street [00:48.63]It's the Tinseltown scandal, the robin hood vandal [00:53.01]She goes out and steals the king's English [00:56.04]And in the morning you wake up and the signs point to you [01:01.62]They say, "I'm so glad that you finally made it here [01:06.06]You thought nobody cared but I did, I could tell [01:10.65]And this is your year and it always starts here [01:14.79]And oh, you're aging well" [01:28.17]Well I know a woman with a collection of sticks [01:32.25]She could fight back the hundreds of voices she heard [01:36.48]She could poke at the greed, she could fend off her need [01:40.95]And with anger she found she could pound every word [01:46.41]But one voice got through, caught her up by surprise [01:50.52]It said, "Don't hold us back we're the story you tell" [01:54.72]And no sooner than spoken, a spell had been broken [01:59.22]And the voices before her were trumpets and tympani [02:03.57]Violins, basses and woodwinds and cellos, singing [02:07.80]"We're so glad that you finally made it here [02:11.31]You thought nobody cared, but we did, we could tell [02:15.33]And now you'll dance through the days while the orchestra plays [02:19.95]And oh, you're aging well" [02:25.41]Now when I was fifteen, oh I knew it was over [02:49.98]The road to enchantment was not mine to take [02:54.09]'Cause lower calf, upper arm should be half what they are [02:58.17]I was breaking the laws that the signmakers made [03:01.65]And all I could eat was the poisonous apple [03:08.52]And that's not a story I was meant to survive [03:12.93]I was all out of choices but the woman of voices [03:17.04]She turned round the corner with music around her [03:21.60]She gave me the language that keeps me alive, she said [03:26.34]"I'm so glad that you finally made it here [03:29.85]With the things you know now, that only time could tell [03:34.41]Looking back, seeing far, landing right where we are [03:38.13]And oh, you're aging, oh and I am aging oh, aren't we aging well?"
