Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick,
And think of you
Caught up in circles confusion
Is nothing new
Flashback warm nights
Almost left behind
Suitcase of memories,
Time after
Sometimes you picture me
I'm walking too far ahead
You're calling to me, I can't hear
What you said
Then you say go slow
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds
If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after time
After my picture fades and darkness has
Turned to gray
Watching through windows you're wondering
If I'm OK
Secrets stolen from deep inside
The drum beats out of time
If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after time
You say go slow
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds
If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after time

John Lennon の 「Nobody Loves You (When You're Down And Out)」 。
大好きな曲。
ほとんど単語の並びが一緒の1929年のブルースのスタンダードを随分後になってから知った。
ベッシー・スミスの
「Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out」
Johnは「愛しちゃくれない」といい、こちらは「知らんぷり」と。
オーティス・レディングやクラプトン、ロッド・スチュワート…etc. カバーも多い。
そして、ジャニスの歌声でも残っていた。
Janis Joplin
Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out
Once I lived a life of a millionaire,
Spent all my money, didn't have any cares.
Took all my friends out for a mighty good time.
Bought bootleg liquor champagne and wine.
Then I began to fall so low,
Lost all my good friends, had nowhere to go.
If I get my hands on a dollar again,
I'll hang on to it 'til that old eagle grins.
'Cause no, no, nobody knows you
When you're down and out.
In your pocket, not one penny,
And as for friends, you don't have any.
When you get back on your feet again,
Everybody wants to be your long lost friend.
I said it straight without any doubt,
Nobody knows you when you're down and out.
'Cause nobody knows you, when you're down and out.
In your pocket not one penny,
and as for friends you don't have any.
when you get back on your feet again.
everybody wants to be your long lost friend.
I said it straigt without any doubt,
nobody knows you,
nobody knows you,
nobody knows you when you're down and out.
