Isabella (伊莎贝拉) - Jerry Leger[00:00:00]
Let's drink to Isabella[00:00:06]
In a room full of repairs[00:00:09]
Covering the bruises and scratches[00:00:12]
From the wild and restless years[00:00:14]
By the time those glasses reach our lips[00:00:18]
She'll be wondering why we're here[00:00:21]
The confusion works through her mind[00:00:23]
Like the light shines through her hair[00:00:27]
Says I'm beautiful and wonderful[00:00:31]
In a fragile voice well aged[00:00:34]
I've lived and learned every word[00:00:37]
On ever worn out page[00:00:40]
I was once the one you worried about[00:00:43]
That was once that girl you craved[00:00:46]
Now I'm standing here all by myself[00:00:49]
And I don't need to be saved [00:00:52]
Life's long dirty road loved me[00:00:59]
And broke this heart in two[00:01:02]
I smiled and frowned[00:01:05]
Up and down the town[00:01:06]
And hurt my eyes with truth[00:01:07]
I found the places where you meet[00:01:10]
People never leave too soon[00:01:13]
They wait 'til you're weak and sick[00:01:16]
And you sleep in their cold cold room[00:01:18]
I was young when I left home[00:01:23]
I wrestled with the winds[00:01:26]
Panicked in the nighttime glare[00:01:29]
And preyed I'd find a friend[00:01:31]
Just to take me out of this life[00:01:35]
Out of those puddles of rain[00:01:37]
I trusted anyone in any old slum[00:01:40]
Who remembered my name[00:01:43]
And I fell for a cold hearted stranger[00:01:47]
In May of '59[00:01:50]
He pounded on my frail emotions[00:01:53]
Oh he battered up my mind[00:01:55]
But I left him stronger than before[00:01:58]
In a pale blue summer dress[00:02:01]
And a coat for the cold summer nights[00:02:04]
With a born and die Canadian crest[00:02:06]
And I begged for a few whole dollars[00:02:09]
Just to get me on a Northland bus[00:02:12]
And I traveled as long as I could[00:02:15]
Through the greens and rocky rust[00:02:18]
And I fell asleep for a long long time[00:02:20]
Just hoping for something else[00:02:23]
I'd rather be a bum than a slave[00:02:26]
In some rich man's rattling house[00:02:28]
I lived from couch to couch[00:02:33]
Floor to covered porch[00:02:36]
Oh I built my life back up[00:02:39]
I knew what I was looking for[00:02:42]
Some peace and quiet[00:02:45]
From living in a certain way[00:02:47]
Not saying much giving just enough[00:02:50]
Taking it day by day[00:02:53]
Happy birthday Isabella[00:03:27]
My sister of the west[00:03:28]
I never meant to criticize you[00:03:31]
Just to give you all my best[00:03:34]
I know you're happy [00:03:37]
I know you're free[00:03:38]
Midnight gives you it's glare[00:03:40]
I can learn from your twists and turns[00:03:43]
I'll tell you when I'm getting there[00:03:45]
