bluetheodore

這首詩出自李歐納。柯恩(Leonard Cohen)：渴望之書(Book of Longing )當中的There For You。

難得有一首這麼有意涵，表面字彙卻簡單且念起來超有詩韻的詩作。

可以自己念一次看看......

BTW，低限主義(Minimalism)作曲家菲利浦。葛拉斯(Philip Glass)花了超多年的時光替這本詩作譜了曲，之前也在台灣演出過。

大家有緣也可以找來聽聽，我相信很容易接受，但一次聽太多會有點膩吧......

When it all went down
And the pain came through
I get it now
I was there for you
Don't ask me how
I know it's true
I get it now
I was there for you
I make my plans
Like I always do
But when I look back
I was there for you
I walk the streets
Like I used to do
And I freeze with fear
But I'm there for you
I see my life
In full review
It was never me
It was always you
You sent me here
You sent me there
Breaking things
I can't repair
Making objects
Out of thoughts
Making more
By thinking not
Eating food
And drinking wine
A body that
I thought was mine
Dressed as Arab
Dressed as Jew
O mask of iron
I was there for you
Moods of glory
Moods so foul
The world comes through
A bloody towel
And death is old
But it's always new
I freeze with fear
And I'm there for you
I see it clear
I always knew
It was never me
I was there for you
I was there for you
My darling one
And by your law
It all was done
