试听：Sabra Girl-Nickel Creek
歌词： Lonely the life, that once I led Strange the paths, on which we tread Led me to you, unlikely but true Sabra girl, clouding my view
Rainy the day, the first time we met Deep was the talk, forever my debt It didn＇t seem wrong, to sing a sad song Sabra girl, soon you＇d be gone Early the morning, and sad the goodbye With a wave of your hand and, a smile of your eye So lately did meet, no sooner depart Sabra girl, homeward must start
Rosy the lines that you wrote with your hand Reading between them to misunderstand I made the mistake you said not to make…
Yes, reading your letters, conviction did grow I thought it a chance, I knew I must go It＇s hard to believe I could be so naive Sabra girl, flattered but deceived
Now you just told me that friendship is all I＇m forced to repair the breach in my wall Illusions and dreams, as usual, it seems Sabra girl, they＇ve been my downfall
Lonely the life, and dismal the view Closed is the road that leads to you Since better can＇t be, as friends we＇ll agree Sabra girl, time will cure me 点击下载歌曲
