Joan Baez - Caruso

 (versiyon 1)
Metin boyutu: ( + Büyült ) ( - Küçült)   
(Words and Music by Joan Baez) 



Infinity gives me chills 

So could the waters of Iceland 

But there's a difference in finding diamonds in rust 

And rhinestones in a dishpan 

Miracles bowl me over 

And often will they do so 

Now I think I was asleep till I heard 

The voice of the great Caruso 



Bring infinity home 

Let me embrace it one more time 

Make it the lilies of the field 

Or Caruso in his prime 



A friend of mine gave me a tape 

She'd copied from a record disc 

It was made at the turn of the century 

And found in a jacket labeled "misc." 

And midst cellos, harps, and flugelhorns 

With the precision of a hummingbird's heart 

Was the lord of the monarch butterflies 

One-time ruler of the world of art 



Bring infinity home 

Let me embrace it one more time 

Make it the lilies of the field 

or Caruso in his prime 



Yes, the king of them all was Enrico 

Whose singular chest could rival 

A hundred fervent Baptists 

Giving forth in a tent revival 

True he was a vocal miracle 

But that's only secondary 

It's the sould of the monarch butterfly 

That I find a little bit scary 



Bring infinity home 

Let me embrace it one more time 

Make it the lilies of the field 

Or Caruso in his prime 



Perhaps he's just a vehicle 

To bear us to the hills of Truth 

That's Truth spelled with a great big T 

And peddled in the mystic's booth 

There are oh so many miracles 

That the western sky exposes 

Why go looking for lilacs 

When you're lying in a bed of roses? 



Bring infinity home 

Let me embrace it one more time 

Make it the lilies of the field 

Or Caruso in his prime
