Janis Ian - Society`S Child (1999) by Janis Ian (보컬) on maniadb.com

When I was just the age of five
My world had just come live
Wonderous things to see and be done
All that I could think of was fun

With hair of spun gold
Lips of ruby red
And eyes as deep as the deepest sea

When I was just the age of ten
My life had been changed again
I threw away all my childish toys
And worked on getting noticed by boys

And when I was just thirteen years of age
Going steady was all the rage
My mother picked out the cutest boy
My little leather-jacketed toy

And hair of spun gold
Turned to black as night
And the ruby red lips
Turned to pale pink

When I was fifteen years of age
He had my hand in marriage
And when fifteen years of age
In my arms I held my babe

And now I'm twenty-one
And I feel my life's over and done
And I'm looking down on my little child
Wondering, wondering if she'll be so wild

She's got hair of spun gold
Lips of ruby red
And eyes as deep as the deepest sea

When I'm looking down on my little child
I swear she'll have the time
There'll be time to love
There'll be time to learn
But childish memories she won't burn
We'll find time to laugh
We'll find time to play
She won't have to throw her toys away
I swear to you we'll wait for time
To take its time

It is the winter time of year
A time for all my troubled thought dreams to come clear
And all the seasons I held dear
Seem to have gone and left me 'lone with winter only here

Lonely, forever dreaming
My life is teeming with yearning, I'd like to be learning
And it's summer out on the streets
Sunflakes fall, snowrays call
Hey Mama, It's me saying "awww"
A policeman walks a most solitary beat

I feel at odds with the summer time
Ice is in my heart and winter's in my mind
I watch the snow upon my blinds
As people walk in shorts and sandals everywhere outside

Lonely, forever hiding
Caught in the icy hide of winter, outside it's warm and sunlight glimmers
And it's summer out on the streets
Sunflakes fall, the snowrays call
Hey Mama, It's me saying "awww"
A policeman walks a most solitary beat

Oh when days are marked by winter's time
Spring and summer counts come racing to my mind
Within my heart the seasons never coincide
At times I hate and curse the world for making winter mine.

Lonely, forever dreaming
My life is teeming with yearning, I'd like to be learning
And it's summer out on the streets
Sunflakes fall, the snowrays call
Hey Mama, It's me saying "awww"
A policeman walks a most solitary beat

EVENING STAR
All our good times have been had
and there’s nothing more to be said
I don’t like being trite, but I love you
I love you
When my evening star comes around again
You won’t find me sitting where I was when you first came
When my evening star tells me it’s time for a change
The words may change. The song may change
but love will be the same
I grow tired burning
tomorrow’s fires in
yesterday’s flame
Good times Bad times
Think of all our good times
measured with the bad times
When my evening star comes around to say
Once upon you had someone
Gone now
The light goes out
and the stage is set
Stand by me anyway
I need a lover who
won’t want to bother with
yesterday’s flame
Good times Bad times
Think of all our good times
measured with the bad times
All our good times have been had
and there’s nothin’ more to be said
I don’t like being trite, but I loved you
And I love you
Yes I do
I loved you, and I love you
