Testo Polaroids - Shawn Colvin
Testo della canzone Polaroids (Shawn Colvin), tratta dall'album Live
Please no more there to be
Mother take care of me
Piece me together with a needle and thread
Wrap me in eiderdown lace from your wedding gown
Fold me and lay me down on your bed
Or liken me to a shoe
Black and it's spit shone through
Kicking back home to you
Smiling back home
Singing back home to you
Laughing back home to you
Dragging back home to you
I was so airy then
The ugly American
Thinner than oxygen
Tough as a whore
And I said you can lie to me
I own what's inside of me
And nothing surprises me anymore
The forests in Germany
Kids in the Tuileries
Broken down fortresses in old Italy
Claiming his victory
Shrouded in mystery
He went running away with me
And back in our home New York
Walking these streets forlorn
We all in our uniforms black and black
And doing that slouch and chide
The artist must survive
We got all we need we cry
And we don't look back
And thinking we had it made
Poised for the hit parade
Knee deep in accolades
The conceptual pair
But ever the malcontent
He left without incident
Vanished into thin air
Now I am always amazed
Words can fill up a page
Pages fill up the days between him and me
But the vows that we never keep
From bedrooms to business speak
Make me remember how cheap words can be
But the letters I wrote you
Were those of the desperate stuff
Like begging for love in a suicide threat
But I am too young to die
Too old for a lullaby
Too tired for life on the ledge
But I had a dream last night
Of lovers who walked the plank
Out on the edge of time amidst ridicule
They laughed as they rocked and reeled
Over the mining fields
Coming to rest on this ship of fools
And he just took Polaroids
Of her smile in the light
Of the dawn of the menacing sky
And before they went overboard
She turned and held up a card
And it said "Valentine"
And it was just my imagination
Running away with me
Just my imagination
Just my imagination
Think of your fellow man
Lend him a helping hand
Put a little love in your heart
You want the world to know
You won't let hatred grow
Put a little love in your heart
And the world will be a better place
And the world will be a better place
For you and me
You just wait and see
I've got sunshine
On a cloudy day
And when it's cold outside
I've got the month of May
And that same old crap was like a cold dark cloud
That we could never rise above
But here in my heart
I give you the best of my loveSometimes
I feel like I don't have a part
But together we cry
Wherever we go, whatever we do
We're gonna get through it together
And I'm hard enough, I'm rough enough
I'm rich enough, I'm not too blind to see
Ebony and ivory
How does it feel to be one of the beautiful people?
How does it feel to be one of the beautiful people?
Running away with me
It was just my imagination
Running away with me
