Young Bride



My young bride
Why are your shoulders like that?
Of a tired old woman
Like a tired old woman

My young bride
Why are your fingers like that?
Of the hedge in winter
Of the hedge in winter

Polonaise in winter
Snowshoes and hunters
Carried the goods in for you

My young bride
Why aren't you moving at all?
Helps to make the day seem shorter
Helps to make the day seem shorter

My young bride
Why aren't you keeping with you
All the ones who really love you?
All the ones who really love you?

Darkness and forests
Grant you the longest
Face made for porridge and stew

Belíssimo poema.
Tens razão, porque se percebe o que está por baixo disto.
Há formas sublimes de dizer (cantar) as coisas.
Nem sempre a comunicação tem de ser óbvia.

Robbie Robertson - Somewhere Down The Crazy River

Yea, I can see it now
The distant red neon shivered in the heat
I was feeling like a stranger in a strange land
You know where people play games with the night
God, it was too hot to sleep
I followed the sound of a jukebox coming from a levee
All of a sudden I could hear somebody whistling
Fromright behind me
I turned around and she said
"Why do you always end up down at Nick's Cafe?"
I said "I don't know, the wind just kind of pushed me this way."
She said "Hang the rich."

Catch the blue train
To places never been before
Look for me
Somewhere down the crazy river
Somewhere down the crazy river
Catch the blue train
All the way to Kokomo
You can find me
Somewhere down the crazy river
Somewhere down the crazy river

Take a picture of this
The fields are empty, abandoned '59 Chevy
Laying in the back seat listening to Little Willie John
Yea, that's when time stood still
You know, I think I'm gonna go down to Madam X
And let her read my mind
She said "That Voodoo stuff don't do nothing for me."

I'm a man with a clear destination
I'm a man with a broad imagination
You fog the mind, you stir the soul
I can't find, ... no control

Catch the blue train
To places never been before
Look for me
Somewhere down the crazy river
Somewhere down the crazy river
Catch the blue train
All the way to Kokomo
You can find me
Somewhere down the crazy river
Somewhere down the crazy river

Wait, did you hear that
Oh this is sure stirring up some ghosts for me
She said "There's one thing you've got to learn
Is not to be afraid of it."
I said "No, I like it, I like it, it's good."
She said "You like it now
But you'll learn to love is later."

I been spellbound - falling in trances
I been spellbound - falling in trances
You give me shivers - chills and fever
I been spellbound - somewhere down the crazy river
