當我六十四

小書是兩年前在紐約的一間書店買的。輯錄了保羅麥卡尼於1965-1999年間所寫的歌詞及詩。
他的作品,簡單易明,又滿有強烈情感。
 
今天隨手翻到這頁……
 
When I get older losing my hair
many years from now
will you still be sending me a valentine
birthday greeting, bottle of wine
If I'd been out till quarter to three
would you lock the door
Will you still need me
Will you still feed me
When I'm sixty-four
 
You'll be older too
And if you say the word
I could stay with you
 
I could be handy mending a fuse
when your lights have gone
You can knit a sweater by the fireside
Sunday mornings, go for a ride
Doing the garden, digging the weeds
Who could ask for more
Will you still need me
Will you still feed me
When I'm sixty-four
 
Every summer we can rent a cottage on the
Isle of Wight, if it's not too dear
We shall scrimp and save
Grandchildren on your knee
Vera, Chuck, and Dave
 
Send me a postcard, drop me a line
stating point of view
indicate precisely what you mean to say
yours sincerely wasting away
Give me your answer fill in a form
mine forever more
Will you still need me
Will you still feed me
When I'm sixty-four  

這詞會是你的心聲嗎﹖

  1. 今天來看你的網誌,看到了這一則。突然驚覺歌詞中的"many years from now"對我來說己經沒有了前面三個字。原本未來的,己是目前。
    所有"Will you....?"的問題未曾有過答案......
    這是我今天的心聲。 Jonathan
