[00:00.00] 作词 : Joni Mitchell
[00:01.00] 作曲 : Joni Mitchell
[00:11.36]There's a man who's been out sailing
[00:13.43]In a decade full of dreams
[00:15.79]
[00:16.35]And he takes her to a schooner
[00:18.59]And he treats her like a queen
[00:21.47]Bearing beads from California
[00:23.97]With their amber stones and green
[00:29.53]
[00:31.14]He has called her from the harbor
[00:34.32]
[00:34.93]He has kissed her with his freedom
[00:37.88]
[00:38.89]He has heard her off to starboard
[00:41.98]
[00:42.81]In the breaking and the breathing of the water weeds
[00:49.88]
[00:50.59]While she was busy being free
[00:54.43]
[00:58.48]There's a man who's climbed a mountain
[01:00.75]And he's calling out her name
[01:03.00]
[01:03.67]And he hopes her heart can hear
[01:05.74]3000 miles he calls again
[01:08.90]He can think her there beside him
[01:11.24]He can miss her just the same
[01:15.52]
[01:18.12]He has missed her in the forest
[01:20.92]
[01:21.94]While he showed her all the flowers
[01:25.02]
[01:25.99]And the branches sang the chorus
[01:28.94]
[01:29.91]As he climbed the scaly towers of a forest tree
[01:37.11]
[01:37.92]While she was somewhere being free
[01:42.60]
[01:45.91]There's a man who sent a letter
[01:48.08]And he's waiting for her reply
[01:50.62]He has asked her of her travels
[01:53.17]Since the day they said goodbye
[01:55.52]He writes wish you were beside me
[01:58.66]We could make it if we try
[02:03.75]
[02:05.49]He has seen her at the office
[02:08.42]
[02:09.34]With her name on all his papers
[02:12.34]
[02:13.41]Through the sharing of the profits
[02:16.31]
[02:17.27]He will find it hard to shake her from these memories
[02:24.21]
[02:25.03]And she's so busy being free
[02:29.85]
[02:32.98]There's a lady in the city
[02:35.19]And she thinks she loves them all
[02:37.60]There's the one who's thinking of her
[02:40.18]There's the one who sometimes calls
[02:42.74]There's the one who writes her letters
[02:45.10]
[02:45.69]With his facts and figures scrawl
[02:48.73]
[02:52.13]She has brought them to her senses
[02:55.33]
[02:56.19]They have laughed inside her laughter
[02:58.88]
[02:59.76]Now she rallies her defenses
[03:03.17]
[03:03.92]For she fears that one will ask her for eternity
[03:12.17]And she's so busy being free
[03:16.41]
[03:19.78]There's a man who sends her medals
[03:22.06]He is bleeding from the war
[03:24.50]There's a jouster and a jester and a man who owns a store
[03:29.23]There's a drummer and a dreamer
[03:32.32]And you know there may be more
[03:37.02]
[03:38.87]She will love them when she sees them
[03:41.88]
[03:42.84]They will lose her if they follow
[03:45.71]
[03:46.72]And she only means to please them
[03:49.99]
[03:50.70]And her heart is full and hollow like a cactus tree
[03:57.98]
[03:58.61]While she's so busy being free
[04:02.89]
[04:06.45]Like a cactus tree
[04:15.48]
[04:16.82]Being free
