Testo Tailor - Anaïs Mitchell
Testo della canzone Tailor (Anaïs Mitchell), tratta dall'album Young Man In America
When he said
When he said
That he liked my cut of hair
I became a barber
When he said
When he said
That my scent was eau de fleur
I became a perfumer
When he said
When he said
That he liked the clothes I wore
I became a tailor
And I sewed him party dress
In and out, and in and out
With a needle and a thread
In and out, and in and out
In my head, the thought of him
In and out, in and out, and in
When he said
When he said
He was leaving
I took up the violin
When he said
When he said
That my body he'd not miss
I became a sculptress
When he said
When he said
That my face he'd soon forget
I became a poet
And the fiddle and the bow
In and out, and in and out
And the chisel and the stone
In and out, and in and out
And the fountain pen
In and out, in and out, and in
Now that he's gone away
There isn't anyone to say
If I'm a lady gay
Or a crazy woman
Now that he's gone away
There isn't anyone to say
If I'm a diamond
Or a dime a dozen
Didn't I gleam in my father's eye?
Who am I? Who am I?
Didn't I split my mother's side?
Who am I? Who am I?
Didn't I drink her nipple dry?
Who am I?
And no one taught me how to cry
Who am I?
How to cry for what I wanted in the night
Who am I? Who am I?
Didn't I cry and cry?
Who am I?
Who am I?
