老歌亂談(1268)Table for Two

此首Table for Two》為Max D.BarnesVince Gill二人所合寫,由鄉村女歌手 - 「礦工的女兒Loretta Lynn錄唱,收錄在她2000年的專輯《Still Country》中,專輯獲得告示牌的第37名,此曲的單曲卻未能入榜。

歌詞內容說的是曾經兩人共餐的桌子,顯然是對方已經離開,只剩自己一人獨坐,但仍要帶上對方的相片,回味昔日的情景,甚至還想像對方會因孤獨而思念自己,某日會再回來云云。Loretta Lynn的嗓音帶有些沙啞,詮釋此曲頗符合那種失戀的悽愴感。自19711981Loretta與男歌手Conway Twitty合出了10張專輯 ( 4張獲得冠軍 ) 12首單曲 ( 其中5首為第1 ),而有些歌曲不僅歌詞曖昧,看倆人現場演唱的親密表情,很難不令人想像兩人之間有些甚麼。1993Conway病逝 (59)1996,結婚近50年的丈夫也過世 (69)。之後Loretta沉寂了好幾年,在錄唱此曲時,心中想必是有多重的滋味吧!

2022Loretta於家中的床上過世,並未立即公布死因,3日後埋葬在其牧場丈夫的墓旁,享壽90歲。

-

I come here each night and take out your picture
I sit here and wonder just where I went wrong
There is no end in sight, no hope for the future
I miss you all over, every night that you're gone

Table for two, just me and your memory
Between you and me, it's over and done
I think of you and cry like a baby
At a table for two, party of one

I can't help but think that some day you'll miss me
Some night you'll be lonely and you'll come around
The more wine I drink, the harder it hurts me
Your chair is still empty and the candles burned down

Table for two, just me and your memory
Between you and me, it's over and done
I think of you and cry like a baby
At a table for two, party of one
At a table for two, party of one

Feelins’

Feelin's, just lead us on 'til we know
Where we're goin', mm-mm 

If I told you that I loved you, could we slip away where the lights are low?
And if I put my arms around you and held you close, could you tell me no?
Well, you know that I'd be lyin' if I said I was a tryin' to let you know I'd go
Let love take me where we've never been before 

Feelin's, just lead us on 'til we know
Where we're goin', mm-mm 

You don't know how long I wanted to have you where you are right now
With you looking soft and pretty, ain't no telling where we've found
Now here we are together
Too close for talkin'
I can't tell you no, oh 

Yes, love, take us where we've never been before 

Feelin's, just lead us on 'til we know
Where we're goin'
Feelin's, feelin's
