For The Roses - Cassandra Wilson (卡珊卓·威尔森)[00:00:00]

I heard it in the wind last night[00:01:22]

It sounded like applause[00:01:25]

Did you get a round resounding for you[00:01:28]

Way up here[00:01:32]

It seems like many dim years ago[00:01:35]

Since I heard that face to face[00:01:39]

Or seen you face to face[00:01:42]

Though tonight I can feel you here[00:01:44]

I get these notes[00:01:48]

On butterflies and lilac sprays[00:01:49]

From girls who just have to tell me[00:01:53]

They saw you somewhere[00:01:58]

In some office sits a poet[00:02:11]

And he trembles as he sings[00:02:15]

And he asks someone[00:02:18]

To circulate his soul around[00:02:20]

On your mark red ribbon runner[00:02:25]

The caressing rev of motors[00:02:29]

Finely tuned like fancy women[00:02:31]

In thirties evening gowns[00:02:34]

Up the charts[00:02:39]

Off to the airport-[00:02:40]

Your name's in the news[00:02:41]

Everything's first class-[00:02:43]

The lights go down-[00:02:46]

And it's just you up there[00:02:48]

Getting them to feel like that[00:02:51]

Do you remember the days when you used to sit[00:03:01]

And make up your tunes for love[00:03:05]

And pour your simple sorrow[00:03:08]

To the soundhole and your knee[00:03:11]

And now you're seen[00:03:15]

On giant screens[00:03:16]

And at parties for the press[00:03:19]

And for people who have slices of you[00:03:22]

From the company[00:03:25]

They toss around your latest golden egg[00:03:28]

Speculation well who's to know[00:03:32]

If the next one in the nest[00:03:35]

Will glitter for them so[00:03:39]

I guess I seem ungrateful[00:03:52]

With my teeth sunk in the hand[00:03:55]

That brings me things[00:03:58]

I really can't give up just yet[00:04:00]

Now I sit up here[00:04:05]

The critic [00:04:07]

And they introduce some band[00:04:09]

But they seem so much confetti[00:04:11]

Looking at them on my TV set[00:04:13]

Oh the power and the glory[00:04:18]

Just when you're getting a taste for worship[00:04:21]

They start bringing out the hammers[00:04:24]

And the boards[00:04:30]

And the nails[00:04:32]

I heard it in the wind last night[00:04:42]

It sounded like applause[00:04:45]

Chilly now[00:04:48]

End of summer[00:04:49]

No more shiny hot nights[00:04:51]

It was just the arbutus rustling[00:04:55]

And the bumping of the logs[00:04:59]

And the moon swept down black water[00:05:01]

Like an empty spotlight[00:05:04]
