Song | Cautious Man |
Artist | Bruce Springsteen |
Album | Tunnel Of Love |
作词 : Springsteen | |
Bill Horton was a cautious man of the road | |
He walked lookin' over his shoulder and remained faithful to its code | |
When something caught his eye he'd measure his need | |
And then very carefully he'd proceed | |
Billy met a young girl in the early days of May | |
It was there in her arms he let his cautiousness slip away | |
In their lovers twilight as the evening sky grew dim | |
He'd lay back in her arms and laugh at what had happened to him | |
On his right hand Billy tattooed the word love and on his left hand was the word fear | |
And in which hand he held his fate was never clear | |
Come Indian summer he took his young lover for his bride | |
And with his own hands built a great house down by the riverside | |
Now Billy was an honest man he wanted to do what was right | |
He worked hard to fill their lives with happy days and loving nights | |
Alone on his knees in the darkness for steadiness he'd pray | |
For he knew in a restless heart the seed of betrayal lay | |
One night Billy awoke from a terrible dream callin' his wife's name | |
She lay breathing beside him in a peaceful sleep, a thousand miles away | |
He got dressed in the moonlight and down to the highway he strode | |
When he got there he didn't find nothing but road | |
Billy felt a coldness rise up inside him that he couldn't name | |
Just as the words tattooed 'cross his knuckles he knew would always remain | |
At their bedside he brushed the hair from his wife's face as the moon shone on her skin so white | |
Filling their room with the beauty of God's fallen light |
