OCEAN DEEP
Love, can't you see I'm alone
Can't you give this fool a chance
A little love is all I ask
A little kindness in the night
Please don't leave me behind
No, don't tell me love is blind
A little love is all I ask and that is all
Ooh love, I've been searching so long
I've been searching high and low
A little love is all I ask
A little sadness when you're gone
Maybe you need a friend
Only please don't let's pretend
A little love is all I ask and that is all
*I wanna spread my wings
But I just can't fly
As string of pearl and pretty girls
Go sailing by
#Ocean deep
(So hard for me to say it)
I'm so afraid to show my feelings
(You're the only one I love)
I have sailed a million ceilings
(Just can't reveal it)
Solitary room
☆Ocean deep
(May be, may be)
Will I ever find a lover
(Maybe she has found)
Maybe she has found another
(Another)
And as I cry myself to sleep (I'll tell myself)
I know this lullaby I'll keep
Ocean deep
Love can't you hear when I call
Can't you hear a word I say
A little love is all I ask
A little feeling when we touch
Why am I still alone
I've got a heart without a home
A little love is all I ask and that is all
這是我最近很愛的一首歌,一開始是在林志炫的專輯裡聽到的,
後來去查了這首歌的身世,才知道它的原唱人是英國歌手Cliff Richard。
除了好聽的旋律,更吸引人的是它的歌詞。
很簡單平實的幾句話,有一種化不開的惆悵,
想要好好去愛一個人,卻不知道那個人身在何處,
只是希望能在夜晚得到一點溫暖,看似簡單的願望,竟是如此難以實現。
不論是林志炫的版本,或是Cliff Richard的原唱,
都有各自獨特的地方,喜歡西洋老歌的人可以去聽聽看唷!
