Lyrics

[00:00.00] 作曲 : John Martyn
[00:00.360] 作词 : Martyn
[00:01.81] Artist:john martyn
[00:03.06] Songs Title:ballad of an elder woman
[00:19.97] Now woman, don't you feel sad when you see your life go round
[00:26.21] And you realise you've been drinking all of your years like wine?
[00:33.70] You're gambling with time and you know you just can't win
[00:40.69] But still you feel that somehow you've just got to keep on trying
[00:48.11] And woman, it's your heart I hear crying
[00:58.97] Now the young man by your side is your husband, or so you say
[01:05.90] In reality, he's a link with a past you just can't replace
[01:14.01] You tell the world you're happy when you're lying in his arms
[01:19.88] Oh, but his youth has made you hate to see his face
[01:27.55] And woman, it's your heart I see crying
[01:53.01] Now you're standing like some tree, oh, and the blossom has blown away
[01:59.81] And the last leaf has gone crumbling tumbling towards the ground
[02:07.05] You have nothing to teach me, just have nothing at all to say
[02:13.85] Except to keep on telling me about all the happiness that you do think you have found
