Well, I slept last night in the open
Down by a redwood tree
Yes, I slept last night in the open
Just to let, just to let, just to let my soul free

I don't want to know, I don't want to go,
I don't want to go back into the city.
It's just a long long long lonely taxi ride
Going nowhere.

Well, I slept last night in the open
(It gets so hot in the city)
Down by a redwood tree
(It gets so hot in the city)
Yes, I slept last night in the open
Just to let, just to let, just to let my soul free.

I don't want to know, I don't want to go,
I don't want to go back into the city.
It's just a long long long lonely taxi ride
Going nowhere

Here I am, on your photograph
again what kind of place
did you bring me to this time
is it a room so small but there's hardly room at all
other peoples rooms are they cheery are they bright
other peoples lives, do they always turn out right
do they always look the door
wishing they had someone to open it for just a little room
of there own and all the music that I play, is just for the time that
I get to slip away and lose myself in other peoples rooms.
other peoples rooms, are they fancy or just plain,
other peoples dreams, are they really just the same everyone
needs a caller of their own, everyone needs a place to come home,
just a little room of their own, and all the music
that I play is just for the times that I get to slip away,
And lose myself in other peoples rooms

here the music play, in other peoples rooms, all the love
is there, in other peoples rooms, hear the music play
in other peoples rooms
all the love is there in other peoples rooms

I see her every day but she turns her face away
Her eyes tell me the pain in her heart

Why I ask myself again
"Does she stay with the man who brings her pain?"
But she forgives him just a same

When she cries she comes to me as a friend, just a friend
And I know she loves me as a friend

But if she could know the pain I feel when she goes to him again
The memory still remains

He will greet me with a smile as he does everyday
Questions crying in his eyes I turn away

But comes the night refrain I'll be with her again
Even though I'm just a friend


But comes the night refrain I'll be with you again
Even though I'm just a friend, just a friend

Lady when you love me I feel home sweet home inside of your
sublime
This garden is sure to grow
You know our love is just like summertime
Parrot's eye the fruit and we make love between a harpsichord
and lutes
Our green limbs intertwine
You know our love is just like summertime
Our souls collide We slip and slide
We feel no pain and where our lives locked together
We weather the wind and rain we flow the farm
We're safe from harm inside this circles of summertime
Both of us know is our love

Love is from the past with poison smiles all pray our love
will never last
But we are trees not vines
You know our love is just like summertime
As the song begins these shipwrecks fade behind a wave of
violins
Vivaldi made us rhyme
You know our love is just like summertime

Leaves begin to fall
golden in the sun

I see the children run
on Signal hill

When winter's on my mind
I'll leave it all behind
the happiness I find
on Signal hill

If she wasn't there returned
to hear me when I called
I'd never think of staying
on Signal hill

Time is mine to hold
and the days are rich and green
and beautiful my queen
on Signal hill

I lay beside her now
And thougths come to my mind
of one I left behind

If she wasn't there returned
to hear me when I called
I'd never think of living in
my Signal hill

Love I have is real
and the love I take I still
but still for her I feel

I see the autumn rain
so part will still remain
of my forgotten name
on Signal hill

If she wasn't there returned
to hear me when I called
I'd never think of living in
my Signal hill

But a leaf to, I've seen, fall
on Signal hill

see the snowflakes
softly fall
the day grows
gray and still
it'll be the same tomorrow
high in the piny woods
I stay and
you're so far away
only red woods
share my sorrow
the city lights
so big and bright
became our confrontaion
now you're there
the crystal air
becomes a seperation
I'm just sitting alone
with my shadows
now he's my only friend
sometimes I climbed
to the very top
of snow ridge mountain
and I can see for miles
sometimes I think
I glimps the city haze
imagination..
or I wanted to
see you smile
sometimes I watch
the beaver's playing
down by the forest tearing..
but it's no fun
to laugh out loud..
when no one else
is hearing..
I'm just sitting alone
with my shadows
now he's my only friend
spring to summer
and summer to fall
the wintertime is
the loneliest time
of all..
maybe when the springtime
comes around
and the snows have melted..
I make my way down
to the valley
sell my horse
and buy a truck..
just to look for..
I'll find you
somewhere in the city
but then again
maybe I'll stay
where people
cannot reach me..
hide my pain
and laugh again..
and I'll let
the beevers teach me..
I'm just sitting alone
with my shadows
now he's my only friend
소리없이 내리는
눈송이를 보세요.
날은 점점 흐려지고
고요해지네요.
내일도 마찬가지겠죠.
소나무가 우거진
숲속 위에 난 머물고 있건만
당신은 무척이나 멀리 있군요.
피로 물든 삼림만이
나의 슬픔을 나누는군요.
무척이나 밝은
도시 불빛은
우리와 대조를 이루는군요.
이제 당신은 그곳에 있군요.
수정같이 맑은 공기가
스며들고 있네요.
난 나만의 그림자와
외로이 앉아 있는것 같아요.
이제 그림자만이 유일한 친구에요.
때로는 난 눈덮힌
산등성이의 제일 높은
정상에 오르기도 했죠.
그러면, 멀리까지 볼수 있었어요.
때로는 도시 안개를
어렴풋이 보는것 같았죠.
상상이었는지
당신이 미소짓는걸
보고 싶었는지도 몰라요.
숲속 아래에서 사납게 날뛰는
비버들이 노는걸
지켜보기도 했어요.
하지만 크게 웃을 만큼
즐겁지는 않았지요.
나 이외 듣고 있는
사람이 없으니..
난 나만의 그림자와
외로이 앉아 있는것 같아요.
이제 그림자만이 유일한 친구에요.
봄이 가고 여름이..
여름이 가고 가을이..
그 중에서
가장 외로운 시기는
겨울이에요..
아마도 봄날이
찾아오기 시작하여
흰 눈이 녹기 시작하면,
난 계곡 아래로
향하게 될런지 모르죠.
내 말을 팔고
트럭을 사서..
단지 찾아 헤매기 위해..
도시 어딘가에 있을
당신을 찾기 위해서 말이에요.
하지만, 그리고나서 다시
사람들이 날 찾을 수
없는 곳에
머물게 될런지 모르죠.
고통을 숨기고
다시 웃음짓기 위해서
비버들에게 도움을
구하겠어요.
난 나만의 그림자와
외로이 앉아 있는것 같아요.
이제 그림자만이 유일한 친구에요.

What I say to my best friend
Can't you see what a mess I'm in
My daddy, he talked me to drink whisky
But my mama, she died from a drinking gin

친구, 내가 무슨 할 말이 있겠어
만신창이가 된 내 꼴을 좀 봐
아버지는 내게 위스키를 마시게 했지
하지만 우리 어머니는 술 때문에 돌아 가셨어

My brother, he works in a coal mine
Works so hard, get his pay
My sister, she believes in sweet Lord Jesus
And she's waiting for redemption day

남동생은 광산에서 일을 해
열심히 일을 해서 급료를 받지
하느님을 믿는 내 여동생은
속죄의 날을 기다리고 있어

What am I living for
Why am I living
Why am I giving all my life
to bring up the family, children and wife
Tell me my friend
Hasn't that been done before

삶의 목적이 뭘까
나는 왜 사는 걸까
자식과 아내를 부양하려
인생을 모두 바치는 이유가 뭘까
친구, 말해 봐
그런 건 이미 다 해왔던 거잖아

I remember my first job
I was singing with the band
Every payday came around
I take my money from the man

첫 직장이 생각나
밴드에서 노래를 불렀지
월급날이 오면
사장한테 가서 돈을 받았어

He said "Now spend it wisely, boy
Or save it while you have the time"
But I could drunk on a stand
And I blew the bag
Now I'm standing
in the unemployment line

사장이 말했어 "돈은 현명하게 써야 해
아니면 기회가 있을 때 저축을 하든가"
하지만 나는 바에서 술에 취했고
지갑을 텅 비우고 말았지
그리고 이제 나는
직장을 구하려 줄을 서 있어

What am I living for
Why am I living
Why am I giving all my life
to bring up the family, children and wife
Tell me my friend
Hasn't that been done before

삶의 목적이 뭘까
나는 왜 사는 걸까
자식과 아내를 부양하려
인생을 모두 바치는 이유가 뭘까
친구, 말해 봐
그런 건 이미 다 해왔던 거잖아

I had me a sweet woman, mine
Until the sun don't shine
I came home one morning early
And I found her with a friend of mine

내게도 여자가 있었어
태양이 비치기 전까진 말이야
어느날 아침 일찍 집에 와보니
그녀가 내 친구와 함께 있더군

It's not so much I needed her
But oh god, how to stay away
Packing my bag and I hit the road
And I've never seen her to this day

그녀를 그토록 원했던 건 아니었어
하지만 어떻게 그녀를 떠나 보낼까
나는 짐을 싸서 길을 떠났고
그 후 다시는 그녀를 보지 못했어

What am I living for
Why am I living
Why am I giving all my life
to bring up the family, children and wife
Listen my friend
It's all been done before

삶의 목적이 뭘까
나는 왜 사는 걸까
자식과 아내를 부양하려
인생을 모두 바치는 이유가 뭘까
친구, 내 말 좀 들어 봐
그런 건 이미 다 해왔던 거잖아

Leaves begin to fall
golden in the sun

I see the children run
on Signal hill

When winter's on my mind
I'll leave it all behind
the happiness I find
on Signal hill

If she wasn't there returned
