Seabirds (海鸟) (Album Version) - Joan Baez (琼·贝兹)[00:00:00]
Don't worry about my politics[00:00:20]
They are what they are[00:00:22]
I work best when I get some rest[00:00:25]
Right now I'm in a bar[00:00:29]
Overlooking the whole wide world[00:00:32]
It's over the Pacific[00:00:35]
I've never written when I was drunk[00:00:38]
This could be terrific [00:00:41]
And the seabird struggles in the wind[00:00:45]
She topples balances again[00:00:49]
The lady sitting next to me[00:01:05]
Is gazing in the eyes[00:01:09]
Of the stranger sitting next to her[00:01:12]
Who is mouthing truths and lies[00:01:15]
He's actually quite nice I guess[00:01:19]
He has an honest look[00:01:22]
He doesn't know I've lost my mind[00:01:24]
Scribbling in this book[00:01:28]
And the seabird struggles in the wind[00:01:33]
She topples balances again[00:01:36]
Consumed by the evening's masterpiece[00:01:52]
Completely introverted[00:01:56]
From here I could stare down eternity[00:01:59]
Leave alone and not feel deserted[00:02:02]
I'm tired of interesting faces[00:02:05]
And the dull ones make my weep[00:02:08]
Don't ask me what my sign is[00:02:12]
Instant intimacy runs cheap[00:02:14]
The ocean is so bountiful[00:02:53]
It spreads from coast to coast[00:02:56]
The winds scale off the whitecaps[00:02:59]
And the things I love the most[00:03:02]
Come wafting up into my lap[00:03:05]
In the colors of the great sunrise[00:03:09]
Children holding cupcakes[00:03:13]
With paradise in their eyes[00:03:15]
And the seabird struggles in the wind[00:03:20]
She topples balances again[00:03:23]
Four big pelicans just flew by[00:03:40]
The room got very still[00:03:43]
One of them carried the breath of God[00:03:46]
Tucked way back in his bill[00:03:50]
I know it was the breath of God[00:03:52]
It's the same as the secret of life[00:03:56]
He's carrying it off to the Shah of Iran[00:03:59]
To trade it for the end of strife[00:04:02]
And the seabird struggles in the wind[00:04:07]
She topples balances again[00:04:10]
