Ideas Are Like Stars - Mary Chapin Carpenter (玛丽翠萍·卡本特)[00:00:00]
Today Joseph is sitting alone[00:00:05]
With occasional nods to the waitress[00:00:09]
She tops off his cup while she's snapping her gum[00:00:14]
Making her rounds on the lunch shift[00:00:20]
Counting out coins he leaves them arranged[00:00:24]
In neat lines and circles and arcs[00:00:30]
She just stares at the tip that spells out her name[00:00:34]
And ideas are like stars[00:00:40]
And yesterday pedaling down 4th Avenue[00:00:54]
Between the stalls and the bookshops[00:01:00]
The sepia tones of a lost afternoon[00:01:04]
Cradled a curio storefront[00:01:10]
And inside the air was thick with the past[00:01:14]
As the dust settled onto his heart[00:01:19]
And here for a moment is every place in the world[00:01:24]
And ideas are like stars[00:01:30]
They fall from the sky they run round your head[00:01:34]
They litter your sleep as they beckon[00:01:40]
They'd teach you to fly without wires or thread[00:01:44]
They promise if only you'd let them[00:01:50]
For the language of longing never had words[00:01:54]
So how did you speak from your heart[00:01:59]
Yet here is a box that swears it has heard[00:02:04]
That ideas are like stars[00:02:10]
Tonight Joseph stood out in the yard[00:02:51]
As Debussy played from the kitchen[00:02:56]
Celestial companions 'til mornings first lark[00:03:00]
Shone overhead and he listened[00:03:06]
And who was that shadow there by the gate [00:03:10]
Who was that there standing guard [00:03:16]
It was only loneliness and loneliness waits[00:03:21]
And ideas are like stars ideas are like stars[00:03:26]
