It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on
But it don't snow here
It stays pretty green
I'm going to make a lot of money
Then I'm going to quit this crazy scene
Oh I wish I had a river I could skate away on
I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
I made my baby cry
He tried hard to help me
You know, he put me at ease
And he loved me so naughty
Made me weak in the knees
Oh, I wish I had a river I could skate away on
I'm so hard to handle
I'm selfish and I'm sad
Now I've gone and lost the best baby
That I ever had
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
Oh, I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I made my baby say goodbye
It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
I wish I had a river I could skate away on
If you can keep your head
While all about you
People are losing theirs and blaming you
If you can trust yourself
When everybody doubts you
And make allowance for their doubting too.
If you can wait
And not get tired of waiting
And when lied about
Stand tall
Don't deal in lies
And when hated
Don't give in to hating back
Don't need to look so good
Don't need to talk too wise.
If you can dream
And not make dreams your master
If you can think
And not make intellect your game
If you can meet
With triumph and disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same
If you can force your heart
And nerve and sinew
To serve you
After all of them are gone
And so hold on
When there is nothing in you
Nothing but the will
That's telling you to hold on!
Hold on!
If you can bear to hear
The truth you've spoken
Twisted and misconstrued
By some smug fool
Or watch your life''s work
Torn apart and broken down
And still stoop to build again
With worn out tools.
If you can draw a crowd
And keep your virtue
Or walk with Kings
And keep the common touch
If neither enemies nor loving friends
Can hurt you
If everybody counts with you
But none too much.
If you can fill the journey
Of a minute
With sixty seconds worth of wonder and delight
Then
The Earth is yours
And Everything that's in it
But more than that
I know
You'll be alright
You'll be alright.
Cause you've got the fight
You've got the insight
You've got the fight
You've got the insight
Blue, songs are like tattoos
You know Ive been to sea before
Crown and anchor me
Or let me sail away
Hey blue, here is a song for you
Ink on a pin
Underneath the skin
An empty space to fill in
Well therere so many sinking now
Youve got to keep thinking
You can make it thru these waves
Acid, booze, and ass
Needles, guns, and grass
Lots of laughs, lots of laughs
Everybodys saying that hells the hippest way to go
Well I dont think so
But Im gonna take a look around it though
Blue, I love you
Blue, here is a shell for you
Inside youll hear a sigh
A foggy lullaby
There is your song from me
Bows and flows of angel hair 有如天使那波浪般的長發飄舞
And ice cream castles in the air 有如冰淇淋般的城堡在空中浮動
And feather canyons everywhere 有如飄散四處的羽毛將山谷裹素
I've looked at cloud that way 這就是我以前怎樣看雲朵
But now they only block the sun 而現在它們只會遮住了太陽
They rain and snow on everyone 在每個路人身上落下雨滴與雪花
So many things I would have done 其實還有很多事情等著我去完成
But clouds got in my way 只是雲朵擋住了我前方的路
I've looked at clouds from both sides now 如今我從兩面去看雲朵
From up and down, and still somehow 看高處,看低處,但仍然不解
it's cloud illusions I recall 原來在我記憶裏的雲朵只是幻夢
I really don't know clouds at all 我其實並不了解雲朵是什麽樣
Moons and Junes and ferry wheels 就像月亮,六月,和摩天輪
The dizzy dancing way you feel 就像你在狂舞時感到的目眩頭暈
As every fairy tale comes real 就像每個神仙故事會變成真實
I've looked at love that way 這就是我以前怎樣看愛情
But now it's just another show 但現在它只是又一場鬧劇
You leave'em laughing when you go 你在眾人的嘲笑聲中離去
And if you care, don't let them know 如果你在意, 就別讓他們看到
Don't give yourself away 不要泄露了你自己的心事
I've looked at love from both sides now 如今我從兩面去看愛情
From give and take, and still somehow 從給予的角度,從獲取的角度,但仍然不解
Its loves illusions I recall 原來在我記憶裏的愛情只是幻夢
I really dont know love at all 我其實並不了解愛情
Tears and fears and feeling proud, 淚水,恐懼,和感覺驕傲
to say "I love you" right out loud 就是我大聲喊出“我愛你”時的心情
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds 夢想,計劃,和看馬戲團的觀眾
I've looked at life that way 這就是我以前怎麽看人生
But now old friends are acting strange 但如今熟悉的老朋友態度奇怪
They shake their heads, they say I've changed 他們搖著頭,說我已經改變
Something's lost but something's gained 有得必有失
in living every day 在我們每日的生活之中
I've looked at life from both sides now 如今我兩面去看人生
From win and lose 從贏的角度,從輸的角度
And still somehow it's life's illusions I recall 原來在我記憶裏人生只是幻夢
I really don't know love at all 我其實並不了解人生
Just before our love got lost you said
"I am as constant as a northern star"
And I said "Constantly in the darkness
Where's that at?
If you want me I'll be in the bar"
On the back of a cartoon coaster
In the blue TV screen light
I drew a map of Canada
Oh Canada
With your face sketched on it twice
Oh you're in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and you taste so sweet
Oh I could drink a case of you darling
Still I'd be on my feet
oh I would still be on my feet
Oh I am a lonely painter
I live in a box of paints
I'm frightened by the devil
And I'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid
I remember that time you told me you said
"Love is touching souls"
Surely you touched mine
'Cause part of you pours out of me
In these lines from time to time
Oh, you're in my blood like holy wine
You taste so bitter and you taste so sweet
Oh I could drink a case of you darling
And I would still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet
I met a woman
She had a mouth like yours
She knew your life
She knew your devils and your deeds
And she said
"Go to him, stay with him if you can
But be prepared to bleed"
Oh but you are in my blood
You're my holy wine
You're so bitter, bitter and so sweet
Oh, I could drink a case of you darling
Still I'd be on my feet
I would still be on my feet
I am on a lonely road and I am traveling
Traveling, traveling, traveling
Looking for something, what can it be
Oh I hate you some, I hate you some, I love you some
Oh I love you when I forget about me
I want to be strong I want to laugh along
I want to belong to the living
Alive, alive, I want to get up and jive
I want to wreck my stockings in some juke box dive
Do you want - do you want - do you want to dance with me baby
Do you want to take a chance
On maybe finding some sweet romance with me baby
Well, come on
All I really really want our love to do
Is to bring out the best in me and in you too
All I really really want our love to do
Is to bring out the best in me and in you
I want to talk to you, I want to shampoo you
I want to renew you again and again
Applause, applause - Life is our cause
When I think of your kisses my mind see-saws
Do you see - do you see - do you see how you hurt me baby
So I hurt you too
Then we both get so blue.
I am on a lonely road and I am traveling
Looking for the key to set me free
Oh the jealousy, the greed is the unraveling
It's the unraveling
And it undoes all the joy that could be
I want to have fun, I want to shine like the sun
I want to be the one that you want to see
I want to knit you a sweater
Want to write you a love letter
I want to make you feel better
I want to make you feel free
I want to make you feel free
