컨트리와 포크, 블루스 등 미국 전통 음악의 영향을 담뿍 받은 ‘마리아 멀더’는 예민한 성장기에 보고 느꼈던 ‘밥 딜런’의 음악과 분리시킬 수 없는 관계라고 이번 앨범을 통해서 고백하는 듯 하다. 저항 음악이라는 하나의 특성으로 담을 수 없는 밥 딜런의 음유시인적 풍모에 대한 추모와 사랑을 느낄 수 있는 앨범이라고 정의하면 정확할 것이다. 2003년 ‘페기 리’의 노래를 담은 에서 보여주었듯이 블루스, 재즈, 가스펠, 포크 등 흔히 ‘루츠 뮤지’이라 불리는 미국의 전통 음악에 박식한 그녀답게 곡마다 그 스타일을 달리하는 색다름을 보여주고 있다. 그리고 그 위에 관능적이면서 연륜이 베인 농익은 목소리로 여유롭게 가사를 풀어내고 있다.
Buckets of rain Buckets of tears Got all them buckets coming out of my ears Buckets of moonbeams in my hand You got all the love honey baby I can stand.
I been meek And hard like and oak I seen pretty people disappear like smoke Friends will arrive friends will disappear If you want me honey baby I'll be there.
I like your smile And your fingertips I like the way that you move your lips I like the cool way you look at me Everything about you is bringing me Misery.
Little red wagon Little red bike I ain't no monkey but I know what I like I like the way you love me strong and slow I'm taking you with me honey baby When I go.
Life is sad Life is a bust All ya can do is do what you must You do what you must do and ya do it well I'll do it for you honey baby Can't you tell?
To be alone with you Just you and me Now won't you tell me the true Ain't that the way it oughta be? To hold each other tight The whole night through Ev'rything is always right When I'm alone with you.
To be alone with you At the close of the day With only you in view While evenings slips away It only goes to show That while life's pleasures be few The only one I know Is when I'm alone with you.
They say that nighttime is the right time To be with the one you love Too many thoughts get in the way in the day But you're always what I'm thinkin' of I wish the night were here Bringin' me all of your charms When only you are near To hold me in your arms.
I'll always thank the Lord When my working day's through I get my sweet reward To be alone with you.
Heart of mine be still You can play with fire but you'll get the bill Don't let her know Don't let her know that you love her Don't be a fool, don't be blind Heart of mine.
Heart of mine go back home You got no reason to wander, no reason to roam Don't let her see Don't let her see that you need her Don't put yourself over the line Heart of mine.
Heart of mine go back where you have been It'll only be trouble for you if you let her in Don't let her hear Don't let her hear you want her Don't let her hear know she's so fine Heart of mine.
Heart of mine you know that she'll never be true She'll only give to others the love that she's gotten from you Don't let her know Don't let her know where you're going Don't untie the ties that bind Heart of mine.
Heart of mine so malicious and so full of guile Give you an inch and you'll take a mile Don't let yourself fall Don't let yourself stumble If you can't do the time, don't do the crime Heart of mine.
When the rain is blowin' in your face And the whole world is on your case I could offer you a warm embrace To make you feel my love.
When the evening shadows and the stars appear And there is no one there to dry your tears I could hold you for a million years To make you feel my love.
I know you haven't made your mind up yet But I would never do you wrong I've known it from the moment that we met No doubt in my mind where you belong.
I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue I'd go crawlin' down the avenue No, there's nothin' that I wouldn't do To make you feel my love.
Though storms are raging on the rollin' sea And on the highway of regrets Though winds of change are throwing wild and free You ain't seen nothin' like me yet.
I could make you happy, make your dreams come true Nothing that I wouldn't do Go to the ends of the Earth for you To make you feel my love.
Seasons they are turning and my sad heart is yearning I hear again the songbird weep below his tone Won't you meet me out in the moonlight alone
The dusky light the day is losing Orchards, poppies, black eyed Susan The earth and sky that melts with flesh and bone Won't you meet me out in the moonlight alone
The air is thick and heavy all along the levee Where the geese into the countryside have flown Won't you meet me out in the moonlight alone
Well, I'm preaching peace and harmony The blessings of tranquility Yet I know when the time is right to strike I take you 'cross the river, dear You no need to linger here I know the kinds of things you like
The clouds are turning crimson, the leaves fall from the limbs and The branches cast their shadows over stone Won't you meet me out in the moonlight alone
The boulevards of cypress trees, the masquerade of birds and bees The petals blinking white, the wind has blown Won't you meet me out in the moonlight alone
The trailing moss in mystico, the purple blossom soft as snow My tears keep flowing to the sea Doctor, lawyer, indian chief, it takes a thief to catch a thief For whom does the bell toll for, love? It tolls for you and me
Old pulses running through my palm, the sharp hills are rising from Yellow fields with twisted oaks that grow Won't you meet me out in the moonlight alone
I've seen love go by my door It's never been this close before Never been so easy or so slow I've been shooting in the dark too long When something not right it's wrong Yer gonna make me lonesome when you go.
Dragon clouds so high above I've only known careless love It's always hit me from below This time around it's more correct Right on target so direct Yer gonna make me lonesome when you go.
Purple clover Queen Anne lace Crimson hair across your face You could make me cry if you don't know Can't remember what I was thinking of You might be spoiling me too much love Yer gonna make me lonesome when you go.
Flowers on the hillside blooming crazy Crickets talking back and forth in rhyme Blue river running slow and lazy I could stay with you forever And never realize the time.
Situations have ended sad Relationship have all been bad Mine've been like Verlaine's and Rimbaud But there's no way I can compare All those scenes to this affair Yer gonna make me lonesome when you go.
Yer gonna make me wonder what I'm doing Staying far behind without you Yer gonna make me wonder what I'm saying Yer gonna make me give myself a good talking to.
I'll look for you in old Honolulu San Francisco, Ashtabula Yer gonna have to leave me now I know But I'll see you in the sky above In the tall grass in the ones I love Yer gonna make me lonesome when you go.
Smoky autumn night, stars up in the sky, I see the sailin' boats across the bay go by. Eucalyptus trees hang above the street And then I turn my head, for you're approachin' me. Moonlight on the water, fisherman's daughter, floatin' in to my room With a golden loom.
First we wash our feet near the immortal shrine And then our shadows meet and then we drink the wine. I see the hungry clouds up above your face And then the tears roll down, what a bitter taste. And then you drift away on a summer's day where the wildflowers bloom With your golden loom.
I walk across the bridge in the dismal light Where all the cars are stripped between the gates of night. I see the trembling lion with the lotus flower tail And then I kiss your lips as I lift your veil. But you're gone and then all I seem to recall is the smell of perfume And your golden loom.
On a night like this I am so glad you came around Hold on to me so tight And heat up some coffee grounds We got much to talk about And much to reminisce It sure is right On a night like this.
On a night like this So glad you've come to stay Hold on to me, pretty miss Say you'll never go away to stray Run your fingers down my spine Bring me a touch of bliss It sure feels right On a night like this.
On a night like this I can't get any sleep The air is so cold outside And the snow's so deep Build a fire, throw on logs And listen to it hiss And let it burn, burn, burn, burn On a night like this.
Put your body next to mine And keep me company There is plenty a room for all So please don't elbow me.
Let the four winds blow Around this old cabin door If I'm not too far off I think we did this once before There's more frost on the window glass With each new tender kiss But it sure feels right On a night like this.
Close your eyes, close your door You don't have to worry any more I'll be your baby tonight.
Shut the light, shut the shade You don't have to be afraid I'll be your baby tonight.
Well, that mockingbird's gonna sail away We're gonna forget it That big, fat moon is gonna shine like a spoon But we're gonna let it You won't regret it.
Kick your shoes off, do not fear Bring that bottle over here I'll be your baby tonight.
I love you more than ever, more than time and more than love I love you more than money and more than the stars above I love you more than madness, more than waves upon the sea I love you more than life itself, you mean that much to me.
Ever since you walked right in the circle's been complete I've said goodbye to haunted rooms and faces in the street In the courtyard of the jester which is hidden from the sun I love you more than ever and I haven't yet begun.
You breathed on me and made my life a richer one to live When I was deep in powerty you taught me how to give Dried the tears up from my dreams and pulled me from the hole I love you more than ever and it binds me to this all.
You gave me babies, one, two, three, what is more, you saved my life Eye for eye and tooth for tooth, your love cuts like a knife My thoughts of you don't ever rest, they'd kill me if I lie But I'd sacrifice the world for you and watch my senses die.
The tune that is yours and mine to play upon this earth We'll play it out the best we know, whatever it is worth What's lost is lost, we can't regain what went down in the flood But happiness to me is you and I love you more than blood.
It's never been my duty to remake the world at large Nor is it my intention to sound a battle charge 'Cause I love you more than all of that with a love that doesn't bend And if there is eternity I'd love you there again.
Oh, can't you see that you were born to stand by my side And I was born to be with you, you were born to be my bride You're the other half of what I am, you're the missing piece And I love you more than ever with that love that doesn't cease.
You turn the tide on me each day and teach my eyes to see Just being next to you is a natural thing for me And I could never let you go, no matter what goes on 'Cause I love you more than ever now that the past is gone.
Clouds so swift Rain won't lift Gate won't close Railings froze Get your mind of wintertime You ain't goin' nowhere Whoo-ee ride me high Tomorrow's the day My bride's gonna come Oh, oh, are we gonna fly Down in the easy chair!
I don't care How many letters they sent Morning came and morning went Pick up your money And pack up your tent You ain't goin' nowhere Whoo-ee ride me high Tomorrow's the day My bride's gonna come Oh, oh, are we gonna fly Down in the easy chair!
Buy me a flute And a gun that shoots Tailgates some substitutes Strap yourself To the tree with roots You ain't goin' nowhere Whoo-ee ride me high Tomorrow's the day My bride's gonna come Oh, oh, are we gonna fly Down in the easy chair!
Genghis Khan He could not keep All his kings Supplied with sleep We'll climb that hill no matter how steep When we come up to it Whoo-ee ride me high Tomorrow's the day My bride's gonna come Oh, oh, are we gonna fly Down in the easy chair!
