Lyrics

[00:00.00] 作曲 : Suzanne Vega
[00:01.00] 作词 : Vega
[00:16.879] Once I stood alone so proud
[00:18.627] held myself above the crowd
[00:21.816] now i am low on the ground.
[00:25.627] From here i look around to see
[00:29.379] what avenues belong to me
[00:31.375] I can't tell what ive found.
[00:36.750] Now what would You have me do
[00:42.690] i ask you please?
[00:48.205] I wait to hear.
[00:59.266] The mother,and the matador,
[01:01.706] the mystic,all were here before,
[01:04.392] like me,to stare You down.
[01:09.205] You appear without a face,
[01:11.642] disappear,but leave your trace,
[01:14.830] i feel your unseen frown.
[01:19.640] Now what would you have me do
[01:24.514] I ask you please?
[01:30.700] i wait to hear
[01:33.829] your voice,
[01:34.827] the word,
[01:36.827] you say.
[01:40.387] i wait to see your sign
[01:46.263] would i
[01:51.383] obey?
[02:01.695] I look for you in heathered moor,
[02:04.445] the desert,and the ocean floor
[02:06.637] how low does one heart go.
[02:11.573] looking for your fingerprints
[02:13.322] i find them in coincidence,
[02:18.84] and make my faith to grow.
[02:21.712] Forgive me all my blindnesses
[02:24.549] my weakness and unkindnesses
[02:26.613] as yet unbending still.
[02:31.861] struggling so hard to see
[02:34.237] my fist against eternity
[02:35.359] and will you break my will?
[02:41.673] Now what would you have me do
[02:47.797] i ask you please?
[02:52.985] i wait to hear
[02:56.143] your voice,
[02:58.643] the word
[03:01.19] you say
[03:03.643] i wait
[03:05.767] to see your sign
[03:08.700] could i
[03:12.394] obey?
