Lyrics

[00:00.00] 作曲 : Suzanne Vega
[00:01.00] 作词 : Vega
[00:31.24] the reproach in your daughter's most beautiful face
[00:35.14] made me wonder just how she could know
[00:41.06] of that something that happened between you and me
[00:45.31] so much more than a long time ago
[00:48.08]
[00:49.12] her mother, I can see, lives within her still
[00:54.11] cause she looked at me with her eyes
[01:00.50] though I had only just met her right then
[01:04.95] I feel that she peeled back my guilty disguise
[01:08.26]
[01:11.47] did i break the thread, or did you break the thread?
[01:24.13] well at this point we could ask who cares
[01:29.15] as for the promises broken and frayed
[01:32.86] it's 19 years late for repairs
[01:35.75]
[01:37.99] the grey pewter vase held the deep red rose,
[01:42.48]
[01:43.86] one piece of coral shone white,
[01:48.27] by the brass candlestick near your red velvet coat,
[01:53.20]
[01:54.24] is everything I can recall of one night
[01:57.68]
[02:26.36] will you please tell me why I remember these things
[02:31.48] after all of this time, I don't know
[02:34.66]
[02:36.43] i must have left all those feelings inside
[02:40.80] cause that year I had no courage to show
[02:44.51]
[02:46.44] was i the name you could never pronounce?
[02:48.40] or did i even figure at all?
[02:55.67] all of this happened before she was born
[02:59.99] did i shadow her young pencil marks on the wall
[03:05.58] still i am sure i was only but one
[03:09.23] of a number who darkened that door
[03:12.64]
[03:14.25] of your home and your hearth and your family and wife
[03:18.78] who'd been darkened so often before
[03:22.84]
[03:24.13] oh, the red leaf looks to the hard gray stone
[03:29.10] to each other, they know what they mean
[03:34.00] somewhere, their future is still yet to come
[03:36.83] in ways that are yet as of now unforeseen
