Mason Jennings [작곡]

Will you remember me,
The way I was, when I was free
An open book that we could read
Together

Will I haunt your dreams
A mocking bird with broken wings
A burned out ???, an empty swing
Forever

Time turns and then it flies
A waterfall of lullabies
A smiling girl with crying eyes
Forget her

Moonlight upon her face
A story book of empty space
Where you and I feel out of place
Together

Will we remember this
The way it was or how it is
What we love or what we miss
Forever

Will we turn loose at last
The schools of thought from whence we've cast
And let our boats go sailing past
Untethered

One fine morning...
One fine morning...
The machines are gonna cut us down
One fine morning...
One fine morning...
The machines are gonna cut us down

When I got home there was blood on the door.
I saw you lying on the kitchen floor.
I ran down the hall and when I saw what he did
and found our little bitty baby lying dead in her crib.

There's a black wind blowing.
Oh, there's a black wind blowing.
There's a black wind blowing outside our gates
trying to blow this place into outer space.
There's a black wind blowing.

I didn't bother picking up the phone.
I'm gonna get there first, I want you all alone.
There's gonna be blood on the wall and a ?
Your scripture won't save you when my gun's in your mouth.

There's a black wind blowing.
Oh, there's a black wind blowing.
There's a black wind blowing outside our gates
trying to blow this place into outer space.
There's a black wind blowing.

I was eighteen when I first came here.
Me and my brother trying to disappear.
He chose the profit, baby, I chose you.
From that day I feared what he could do.

There's a black wind blowing.
Oh, there's a black wind blowing.
There's a black wind blowing outside our gates
trying to blow this place into outer space.
There's a black wind blowing.

I took the corner then I gunned it hard.
I drove my truck into your front yard.
You came out running but I was too fast.
I took out your legs and dropped you in the grass.
There were people outside, I heard somebody scream.
My whole life became a movie screen.
I remembered us jumping on our momma's bed.
She was yelling be careful or you'll bump your head.
I put my gun up under your chin.
My hand was shaking so I dug it in.
You started laughing, said I understand.
You wish you couldn't but I know you can.
You can.

There's a black wind blowing.
Oh, there's a black wind blowing.
There's a black wind blowing outside our gates
trying to blow this place into outer space.

High in the hills there's an angel and the ghost in chains
Here in your arms there's a desert where it always rains
As your legs begin to spread, how I wish I was not dead
Standing backwards to the blood of man

Babies in jars, luxury cars, seasons that don't come true
Happiness waits outside the gates, watching each thing we do
Ocean mother, ocean child, are you mine or are you wild?
Are you calling for the blood of man?

I'll keep my dreams in the river tonight
Under the rocks and stones they will be alright
I'll hide my dreams in the river tonight
Under the rocks and moss, there they will be alright

Where did you go? Oh, please come back
I miss you so, oh
Where did you go? Oh, please come back
I miss you so, oh

Ocean mother, ocean child, are you mine or are you wild?
Are you calling for the blood of man?

Lights in the city, they go down in the city
And there ain't nobody there to ..
Lights in the city, they go down in the city
And there ain't nobody there to ..

Looking for you, why won't you show?
Waiting for you, well, it's a city of ghosts
City of ghosts

Lights go down, they go down in the city
And there ain't nobody there to fuck me
Lights go down, they go down in the city
And there ain't nobody there to cut me

Looking for you, why won't you show?
Waiting for you but it's a city of ghosts
City of ghosts

Lights in the city, they go down in the city
And there ain't nobody there to love me
Lights in the city, they go down in the city
And there ain't nobody there to cut me

Looking for you, why won't you show?
Waiting for you, it's a city of ghosts
City of ghosts

Lonely road, we gotta walk it just a little bit farther
Heavens knows it can't get any harder than it is today
Lonely road, it's not ahead but is it getting harder
Heaven knows it can't get any darker than it is today

Who do you miss in times like this
When your thoughts are filled with sadness and regrets?
To who do you pray when you've lost your way
And you've such a heavy load?
Let me walk with you upon this lonely road

Lonely road, empty kitchen and a brand new feeling
Nothing's moving but my heart is reeling since you went away
Lonely road, gotta walk it till we start forgiving
Find another way to go on living without you today

Who do you miss in times like this
When your thoughts are filled with sadness and regrets?
To who do you pray when you've lost your way
And you've such a heavy load?
Let me walk with you upon this lonely road

Lonely road, we gotta walk it just a little bit farther
Heavens knows it can't get any harder than it is today
Lonely road, gotta walk it till we start forgiving
Find another way to go on living without you today

Who do you miss in times like this
When your thoughts are filled with sadness and regrets?
To who do you pray when you've lost your way
And you've such a heavy load?
Let me walk with you upon this lonely road

My mom'd give me twenty and say stay out till dawn
When her boyfriend was over and they wanted me gone
I would walk through the woods to the old graveyard
And roll my own tops and think two kind of a thoughts

Are we high enough to clear these trees?
I don't know

That was the summer dave's girlfriend OD'ed
She died in the bathroom at a party down the street
I went to see him the next night, he had a new tattoo
He was watching home movies of her
His face was wet, he looked so confused

They had a funeral for her
The preacher said she was with the Lord
There were lots of pictures of her
Taped to a poster board

Are we high enough to clear these trees?
I don't know
Are we high enough to clear this place?
I don't know

Grocery stores in the middle of the night shine their own kinda light
High school halls and shopping malls never fit me right
But my heart would swing free like a lasso from my hand
When I'd hear that sound and put the pedal down

I wound up that fall in a hospital
On the suicide wing with a lot of people thinkin' one thing
They had a sign on the wall that said no touching at all
There were screams in the dark, nurses running down the hall

On the night that I got there they showered me and searched me hard
Then they took me to my little room overlooking a graveyard
When I opened my eyes I was strapped to the bed
There was a needle in my arm, part of me was gone

Then they took us outside in our slippers and gowns
To play basketball on the blacktop, the ball just bounced till it stopped

Are we high enough to clear these trees?
I don't know
Are we high enough to clear this place?
I don't know

Grocery stores in the middle of the night shine their own kinda light
High school halls and shopping malls never did me right
But my heart would swing free like a lasso from my hand
When I'd hear that sound and put the pedal down

When the leaves were wet behind the old duplex
We used to run at night naked through the trees
And you would lean back against me and I would try to stay soft
We'd listen to the engines as the planes took off

Hold my hand, little one, the feeling is slipping away
We've come so far you know, God, how I wish I could stay
Hold my hand, little one, the feeling is coming again
We've got so far to go just when it feels like the end

Sing out, sing for the wounded heart
Sing for the lives we've lost
Sing out, sing for the blood of man
Poured out at such a cost

Sing out, baby, baby, I don't understand
The flowers that you place in my hand
Sing out, sing for the love of God
Sing for the changing man

I've been a rolling stone since the devil first came to me
No light upon my feet, so much that I couldn't see
I was a hurricane till the hurricane called my name
Into the eye of the storm out of the cold, cold rain

Sing out, sing for the wounded heart
Sing for the lives we've lost
Sing out, sing for the blood of man
Poured out at such a cost

Sing out, baby, baby, I don't understand
The power that you place in my hands
Sing out, sing for the love of God
Sing for the changing man

Hold my hand, little one, the feeling is slipping away
We've come too far you know to let it turn out this way
Hold my hand, little one, the feeling is coming again
We've got so far to go, oh, and it feels like the end

I've been a rolling stone since the devil first came to me
No light upon my feet, so much that I couldn't see
I was a hurricane till the hurricane called my name
Into the eye of the storm out of the cold, cold rain

One, two, three, four

Underneath the lilac tree
I close my eyes and suddenly
I'm ten years old and running through
An open field, chasing after you

Sounds of summer fill my ears
If I live 10,000 years
I'll never feel as good as this
Moments before our first kiss

There is nothing to demand
No algebra to understand
Just sunlight on a freckled face
And everything in its right place

Simple things turn magical
Minutes freeze like Popsicles
And drip their seconds down our shirts
I love you so much it hurts

There's no such thing as real time
I've been yours and you've been mine
And we've lived ever happily
Everywhere I've been you've been with me

There is nothing to control
No question mark left on our souls
Just sunlight on a freckled face

There is nothing to demand
No politics to understand
Just sunlight on a freckled face
Everything in its right place
Everything in its right place

And I want to give you a brand new sky
Something so open, it brings tears to your eyes
So clear and so present, it doesn't seem real
I want to show you how you make me feel

I want to give you a brand new dream
Where two horses drink from a silver stream
As the trees catch fire they lift their heads
And bolt together through the forest across our beds

I want to bring you the fields of flowers
I want to build you Eiffel Towers
Take the clouds in the evening, turn 'em into stars
And drop 'em like keys through your prison bars
Set you free, yeah

Every step I take takes me farther from you
Every move I make reminds me that I'll always love you
Since you were a child we built our lives around you
How am I supposed to live in this world we made without you?

Sometimes late at night I go the field
Is that where you are? Are you a shooting star?
Can you say my name? Darling can you hear me?
Tell me where's your heart now that it stopped beating?
It's right here, it's right here, it's right here

When you joined the war we were so proud of you
You seemed so grown up, living life the way we taught you
Then your first letter came, it sounded nothing like you
It took all my strength to keep myself from running to you

Sometimes late at night I go the field
Is that where you are? Are you a shooting star?
Can you say my name? Darling can you hear me?
Tell me where's your heart now that it stopped beating?
It's right here, it's right here, it's right here

And it will always be until the sun dries the ocean
And you will always be my little one

If I was the President, if I was that man
I would walk out with those kids, out across the sand
If I was the President, if I was that brave
I would take a shovel then dig each child their grave
If I was the President and my world turned black
I would want no victory, I'd just want you back

I don't want no victory, I just want you back

Is who you are now who you want to be now
Or are you someone you don't wanna be?
Is what you wanted what you really wanted
Or is it nothing like you dreamed?

Honey, there's a hole in the life we've made
With thousands of people laughing in the shade
Pointing their fingers at the mess we've made

There's a tourist in every heart
That just wants to say

Winter's coming and it's time to go
It's already over, we just didn't know
They're stacking up wood where the flowers grow

There's a tourist in every heart
That can't wait to go

Is who you are now who you want to be now
Or are you someone you don't wanna be?
Is what you wanted really what you wanted
Or is it nothing like you dreamed?

Honey, there's a boat and it waits for us
Somewhere there's a time and a place for us
It could be perfect if it wasn't for us

Cause momma, we're in love with a memory
A perfect dream of how it used to be
When our hair was windy and our nights were free

There's a tourist in every heart
Sees what it wants to see

Is who you are now who you want to be now
Or are you someone you don't wanna be?
Is what you wanted really what you wanted
Or is it nothing like you dreamed?

One, two, three, four

Underneath the lilac tree
I close my eyes and suddenly
I'm ten years old and running through
An open field, chasing after you

Sounds of summer fill my ears
If I live 10,000 years
I'll never feel as good as this
Moments before our first kiss

There is nothing to demand
No algebra to understand
Just sunlight on a freckled face
And everything in its right place

Simple things turn magical
Minutes freeze like Popsicles
And drip their seconds down our shirts
I love you so much it hurts

There's no such thing as real time
I've been yours and you've been mine
And we've lived ever happily
Everywhere I've been you've been with me

There is nothing to control
No question mark left on our souls
Just sunlight on a freckled face

There is nothing to demand

Everything in its right place

And I want to give you a brand new sky

Take the clouds in the evening, turn 'em into stars
And drop 'em like keys through your prison bars
Set you free, yeah

You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
He's making a list
checking it twice
gonna find out
Who's naughty or nice
Santa Claus is coming to town
He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad
Or good so be good
For goodness sake
Oh, you better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
Oh, Yes he is

The kids in girl and boyland
Will have a jubilee
They're gonna build a toyland
All around the Christmas tree

Oh you better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why

Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town

Spinning your umbrella over your head
You should be in bed but you're here instead
Walking with me towards a midnight swim
I can give you, baby, what you can't get from him

Songbird's singing in an old dead tree
The way you drive honey scares the hell out of me
A hundred miles an hour on a brand new road
Look at me again, you'll make my heart explode

Hey, hey, little fighter girl
It's you and me up against this whole wide world
Sleeping together in the lion's den
Got your earrings in my pocket till I see you again

Clouds roll by, laying up on the hill
Everything is still, do you think we will?
If we do, there'll be no turning back
If we don't, well, there is no chance of that

Hey, hey, little fighter girl
It's you and me up against this whole wide world
Sleeping together in the lion's den
Got your earrings in my pocket till I see you again

Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

Come on, kiss me
Keep on kissin' me
Come on, kiss me
Keep on kissin' me

Cars in the distance, a bicycle bell
Dogs are barking as the kingdom fell
In its place stood a golden town
Where people walk without touching the ground

Hey, hey, little fighter girl
It's you and me now against this whole wide world
Sleeping together in the lion's den
Baby, I can't sleep at all until I see you again

Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

Come on, kiss me
Keep on kissin' me
Come on, kiss me
Keep on kissin' me, yeah
Oh, oh, oh, oh

I'm going back to New Orleans
Ain't turning my back on this world of tears
With a head that's heavy and a heart that's sore
Gonna swing my hammer, gonna stop this war

Dying babies in the sand
Hanging kings in ancient lands
God on God, blood to bone
Oh baby, baby, this world is not my home
Oh, oh

How deep is that river? How deep is that river?
I don't wanna know where it's coming from
I don't need to know where it's going to
Before I place my trust in You
I just wanna know, how deep?

God said to me what He said to the tree
Grow up towards the light and one day you'll see
My son Jesus, what did He say?
Love the Lord, your God and God will show you the way
Do unto others like you wanna be done
Look deep in your heart and know that we are one

Singing, how deep is that river? How deep is that river?
I don't wanna know how fast it flows
I don't need to know if it's safe to swim
Before I put my trust in Him
I just wanna know, how deep?

God came down in the cool of the day
Stirred up the waters and began to play
Before He knew it, man was on the land
With a thought in his head, and a gun in his hand
God saw that man was just a little too rough
So He gave him a heart and filled it up with love

Singing, how deep is that river? How deep is that river? Yes
I don't wanna know if it has a name
I don't need to know how to cross it yet
Before I get my spirit wet
I just wanna know, how deep, alright

A few years back I lost my way
I was deep in the woods, I began to pray
I came to a river and I sat on its bank
It was cool and clear, I have Jesus to thank
I drank that water, yes, I drank it up
Now every day I come back and fill my cup

Singing, how deep is that river? How deep is that river?Yes
I don't wanna know if it's yours or mine
I don't need to know if it's east or west
Before I put my fears to rest
I just wanna know how deep

How deep is that river? How deep is that river? Yes
I don't wanna know where it's coming from
I don't need to know where it's going to
Before I place my trust in you
I just wanna know how deep

I just wanna know how deep
I just wanna know how deep

Oh Jesus, I love You
And I love Buddha too
Ramakrishna, Guru Dev
Tao Te Ching and Mohammed

Why do some people say
That there is just one way
To love You, God, and come to You?
We are all a part of You

You are un-nameable
You are unknowable
All we have is metaphor
That's what time and space are for

Is the universe Your thought?
You are and You are not
You are many, You are one
Ever ending, just begun

Alright, alright, alright
I love You and Buddha too

Oh Jesus, I love You
And I love Buddha too
Ramakrishna, Guru Dev
Tao Te Ching and Mohammed

Why do some people say
That there is just one way
To love You, God and come to You?
We are all a part of You

Alright, alright, alright
I love You and Buddha too

Oh Jesus, I love You
(I love You, Jesus)
And I love Buddha too
Ramakrishna, Guru Dev
Tao Te Ching and Mohammed

Why do some people say
(I love You, Jesus)
That there is just one way
To love You God and come to You?
We are all a part of You

You are un-nameable
(I love You, Jesus)
You are unknowable
All we have is metaphor
That's what time and space are for

Is the universe Your thought?
(I love You, Jesus)
You are and You are not
You are many, You are one
Ever ending, just begun

Alright, alright, alright

And Buddha too, and Buddha too, and Buddha too
(I love You, Jesus)
And Buddha too, and Buddha too, oh yeah

When I got off the bus it was six in the evening
Snow was blowing across the intersection
For the last six hours I've been lost in a book
So it took me a second to remember what I was doing

Standing in the middle of a bustling sidewalk
Under barren branches silhouetted by street lamps
I reached into my overcoat pocket
And brought out a letter with your address on it

And I may be dreaming but I've come to you
I have nowhere else to run
How you gonna say what's never been said?
I'll tell you how it's done

You just look into your eyes
You look into your eyes
And follow 'em down, you gotta follow 'em down
Till the streets are lined with trees

On the last block there's a little blue house
It's the only house I see
And up in the window a light still shines

Your daddy showed you what was wrong with life
I wanna show you how to make it right
Hey, hey baby, I'm in your city
Tonight

I was born in a gold mine
You were born by the sea
Without nothing, we got something
Memphis, Tennessee, girl
Memphis, Tennessee

Rain outside my window
Rain inside my head
Loneliness inside my heart
Emptiness in my bed, girl
Emptiness in my bed

You've got the love
That I need
That I'm dreaming of

I was born to love you
You were born to resist
I would give everything I've got
To live inside your kiss, girl
To live inside your kiss

You've got the love
That I need
That I'm dreaming of

I was born in a gold mine
You were born by the sea
Without nothing we got nothing
Memphis, Tennessee, girl
Memphis, Tennessee

Memphis, Tennessee, girl
Memphis, Tennessee

Where was I before you found me?
Who was I and what had bound me?
Where was love and understanding?
Why was living so demanding?

You were on the snow capped mountains
You were in the deep blue ocean
Down below the wind and thunder
In a perfect world of wonder

You were calling, come back to me
How long has it been, my only?
I was listening and I heard you
When I did I finally found you
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Everything you touched is living
This whole universe is giving
What was once inside you, dreaming
Is now the life that you are leading

I was with you, baby, crying
I was there when you were dying
Underneath the sound and silence
In the gospel and in science
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Come to me, my perfect lover
We are one, there is no other
In every face I see you clearly
Oh my friend, I love you dearly
Oh, oh, oh, oh

If this house is on fire
You gonna run for the door
If the door is on fire
You gonna kneel on the floor
You get down low enough
You learn to love the flame

I've been loving you forever
But I never knew your name
I've been loving you forever but I

We fell in love in the woods
In the Hollywood hills
In the death of a friend
In the bottles and pills
Through war and at peace
I've loved you the same

I've been loving you forever
But I never knew your name
I've been loving you forever but I

Put the ghost in my sail
Put the spin in my wheel
Roll me up in your heart
Aw, make it seem real
I'm clay in your hands
I'm the ball in your game

I've been loving you forever
But I never knew your name
I've been loving you forever
But I never knew your name
I've been love you forever but I

I was born on a railroad track
With the weight of the world strapped to my back
Born to be a soldier boy, born to be a soldier boy

Looking for a life in a graveyard town
If you never get lost, you never get found
Born to be a soldier boy, born to be a soldier boy
Born to be a soldier boy, born to be a soldier boy

I fell in love with an impossible girl
She was my breath in this strangled world
Born to be a soldier boy, born to be soldier boy

She broke my heart with my best friend's name
Now my mind still works, but it's not the same
Born to be a soldier boy, born to be a soldier boy
Born to be a soldier boy, born to be a soldier boy

We go bang, ba-bang, ba-bang, ba-bang, ticky, ticky
Bang, ba-bang, ba-bang, ba-bang, lo, lo, lo, lo
Bang, ba-bang, ba-bang, ba-bang, ticky, ticky
Bang, ba-bang, ba-bang, ba-bang, lo, lo, lo, lo

So many people wanna watch things grow
Either they're blind or they just don't know
Born to be a soldier boy, born to be a soldier boy

My daddy was done before he turned nineteen
My momma was run like a fast machine
Born to be a soldier boy, born to be a soldier boy

So I cross my heart and I hope to die
Like an aeroplane, baby, coming out of the sky
Born to be a soldier boy, born to be a soldier boy
Born to be a soldier boy, born to be a soldier boy

We go bang, ba-bang, ba-bang, ba-bang, ticky, ticky
Bang, ba-bang, ba-bang, ba-bang, lo, lo, lo, lo
Bang, ba-bang, ba-bang, ba-bang, ticky, ticky
Bang, ba-bang, ba-bang, ba-bang, lo, lo, lo, lo

Bang, ba-bang, ba-bang, ba-bang, ticky, ticky
Bang, ba-bang, ba-bang, ba-bang, lo, lo, lo, lo
Bang, ba-bang, ba-bang, ba-bang, ticky, ticky
Bang, ba-bang, ba-bang, ba-bang, lo, lo, lo, lo

Ain't no modern love gonna set me free
Like the kinda love that you give to me
I'm coming home to be with you
I'm coming home to be with you

Something about your love, oh
Something about your love
Something about your love, oh
Something about your love

This whole wide world goes in and out of style
All I want is to see you smile
I'm coming home to be with you
I'm coming home to be with you

Something about your love, oh
Something about your love
Something about your love, oh
Something about your love

As all the shiny things in the window fade
All that's real is the love we made
I'm coming home to be with you
I'm coming home to be with you

Something about your love, oh
Something about your love
Something about your love, oh
Something about your love

Goodness me, yes, I'd agree
I was the one who ended up our history
Well, it looks like you wrote the last page to me
Your friends say you've got a new man

Girl, that's so not cool in so many ways
These were supposed to be my carefree single days
Instead I'm punching walls and coming up with ways
Ways to win you back from your new man

Woah, woah, woah, woah
Woah, woah, woah, woah

Right now, he's a probably moaning your name
The thought of it is driving me insane
Got to get religion just to ease the pain
Thinking about you loving your new man

Well, did you get the literature I left in your bed?
Told ya keep it frozen, it caught fire instead
Have you not heard a single word I've said?
No, you were busy loving your new man

Goodness garage, his name is probably Rog
He probably drives a truck and his hands are probably big
I bet he fixes things around your place when they break
If he says he likes your cooking he's a fake

Girl, please say, he doesn't tuck his shirts in, please
Please say, he doesn't wear a gold chain, please
Things were going great, I even went on a date
Then I found out about your new man

Woah, woah, woah, woah
Woah, woah, woah, woah

Right now, he's a probably moaning your name
The thought of it is driving me insane
Got to get religion just to ease the pain
Thinking about you loving your new man

Well, did you get the literature I left in your bed?
Told ya keep it frozen, it caught fire instead
Have you not heard a single word I've said?
No, you were busy loving your new man
Aw, come on

Holly around the tree that kiss was meant for me
Trust me he'll get way too drunk at your Christmas party
Your friends will laugh at first but as the night gets worst
Collectively they'll run off your new man

And who'll be standing there looking like Fred Astaire
Me, and I'll be singing
Where, oh, where have you been all fall?
While I was having a ball, certainly not with your new man

Woah, woah, woah, woah
Woah, woah, woah, woah

Right now, his a probably crying your name
The thought of it is driving him insane
Got to find another just to ease the pain
Thinking about you loving your new man

Well, did you get the messages he left on your phone?
Told you that he's sorry and to please, come home
Maybe you'd of answered but were you alone?
No, you were busy loving your new man, right

You were busy loving your new man, me
You were busy loving your new man, that's right
