含羞草也有春天

Almost heaven, west Virginia
Blue ridge mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains
Growing like a breeze

Country road, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mamma
Take me home, country road

All my memories gathered round her
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine
Teardrop in my eye

I hear her voice in the morning hours she calls me
Radio reminds me of my home far away
And driving down the road I get a feeling
That I should've been home yesterday


Carpenters，第一次是在姑姑的房裡，在那個還是聽錄音帶的年代裡，發現。
Take me home, country road。
正是，那個我好久沒回的家。
因為捷運，因為成長，因為忙碌，從前在家後方就能焢土窯的日子；
沒有七點的業哩，帶著手電筒，一家人尋找蕃薯的樂趣；
那熟透的泥土味不再撲鼻，沒有炙熱的火焰烤在臉上一片通紅。
好多事情，隨著長大，一件一件的被遺忘。


這是一首聽了會人想馬上回家的歌曲，至少而言對我是如此。
