[00:00.00]If I Were Brave - Shawn Colvin (肖恩·卡文)
[00:12.85]All the happy couples on their way to New Orleans
[00:17.44]Reminding me of when we got along
[00:21.57]
[00:22.74]They're only renting time and space to
[00:25.85]Fill up with their dreams
[00:28.13]And dreams are what they'll have when they have gone
[00:33.06]
[00:33.75]How could it be that I was born without a clue to carry on
[00:39.19]And still it is the same now I am older
[00:43.87]
[00:44.81]Armed with just a will and then this love for singing songs
[00:50.00]And minding less and less if I am colder
[00:55.61]But I have this funny ache and it's burning in my chest
[01:01.39]And it spreads just like a fire inside my body
[01:07.37]Is it something God left out in my spirit or my flesh
[01:12.99]Would I be saved if I were brave and had a baby
[01:18.10]
[01:20.18]It was never clear what would come
[01:22.41]But that's the risk and that's the test
[01:25.94]And you were the only one so far to follow
[01:30.68]
[01:32.53]And no one talks about when one might stop
[01:35.81]And need to rest
[01:37.62]Or how long you sit alone before you stop looking back
[01:43.14]It's like you're waiting for Godot
[01:45.90]And then you pick your sorry a** up off the street and Go
[01:53.58]
[02:02.12]And what the hell is this Who made this bloody mess
[02:07.75]And someone always answers like a martyr
[02:13.97]Is it something you should know did you never
[02:17.59]Do your best
[02:19.25]Would you be saved if you were brave
[02:21.99]And just tried harder
[02:25.05]
[02:27.14]So now I ride the ought one thirtyfive to New Orleans
[02:33.14]I float a mile above life's toil and trouble
[02:38.32]
[02:38.89]A thousand lonely lifetimes I still wait and then go on
[02:45.32]A clown to entertain the happy couples
