A Heartfelt Line Or Two - Joan Baez (琼·贝兹)[00:00:00]
Written by:Joan Baez[00:00:00]
Though the songwriters of the industry[00:00:01]
Write most of the songs I do[00:00:03]
And it's clear that no one will ever[00:00:06]
Sing them quite the way I do[00:00:08]
I think tonight I'll sit down and write[00:00:11]
A heartfelt line or two[00:00:14]
And if they turn out good enough[00:00:17]
I owe every word to you[00:00:19]
To the kid I thought was a little too young[00:00:27]
To know what sadness was[00:00:29]
Who took me out when I was down[00:00:32]
And set out to find the cause[00:00:34]
Of why the lady had the blues[00:00:37]
And seemed on the verge of tears[00:00:39]
I tell you that kid must have been around[00:00:42]
For a hundred and fifty years[00:00:44]
And to the tough guy blonde with the front tooth gone[00:00:48]
And ships all over his chest[00:00:51]
Who approached me out on the promenade[00:00:53]
Of the beach heading into the west[00:00:55]
His friends lay around on the muscleman lawn[00:00:58]
Like a drunken pirate band[00:01:00]
But he turned into a gentleman[00:01:03]
Called me a lady and kissed my hand[00:01:05]
Though the songwriters of the industry[00:01:11]
Write most of the songs I do[00:01:14]
And it's clear that no one will ever[00:01:16]
Sing them quite the way I do[00:01:19]
I think tonight I'll sit down and write[00:01:21]
A heartfelt line or two[00:01:24]
And if they turn out good enough[00:01:26]
I owe every word to you[00:01:28]
To the man and the woman who threw me a glance[00:01:57]
As they picnicked by the sea[00:02:00]
And returned their gaze to the kid and the food[00:02:02]
So as not to bother me[00:02:05]
They got up to leave and the woman looked on[00:02:07]
As the man leaned down to say[00:02:09]
You've always meant so much to us[00:02:12]
Don't want to bother you and have a nice day[00:02:14]
And to the band of gypsies I call friends[00:02:17]
Who speak so carefully[00:02:20]
To their friend with a life unlike their own[00:02:22]
In its strange complexities[00:02:25]
Who have the patience of the saints[00:02:27]
When I've been down for a spell[00:02:30]
I wish it were a whole lot easier[00:02:32]
To find the words to wish them well[00:02:35]
Though the songwriters of the industry[00:02:41]
Write most of the songs I do[00:02:43]
And it's clear that no one will ever[00:02:46]
Sing them quite the way I do[00:02:48]
I think tonight I'll sit down and write[00:02:51]
A heartfelt line or two[00:02:53]
And if they turn out good enough[00:02:55]
I owe every word to you[00:02:58]
And if they turn out good enough[00:03:03]
I owe every word to you[00:03:05]
