Buffy Sainte-Marie - Sometimes when I Get To Thinkin'

Текст песни

Sometimes I recall what others have said
Love is for lovers in love and full grown
Life’s for the living and death’s for the dead
And the depth of a heart is a fathom unknown
Sometimes when I get to thinkin' about you
And all the things that we’ve never said to each other
It seems such a shame to go blue
When there’s so many years to lie silent and dead
I know you know all about life
You know I know nothing at all
Still, why should I know daily strife
When the touch of your hand makes me glad I’m so small?
Time brings us trouble as days come and go
I know you know I’ll understand
Could you, would you suffer? Oh-oh
And a blink of your eye and I’m at your command
Think of the years before we were a pair
Years lived apart, we spent learning to farm
Sowing, growing and learning to care for ourselves
And preparing for each other’s arms
Love is a flower, blooms when we’re too young
Pluck it, it’s gone, tend it, it grows
We’ve been tending since the first sprout was sprung
To the most patient farmer, the best harvest boys
