Isn't it time

Boz Scaggs - Isn't It Time (HQ)

---

Last time this happened
I thought it wouldn't happen anymore
But that was before, and now once again as it happens
Well, why do I listen anymore
Facing the door, I wonder again

(Isn't it time you got the news) Isn't it time you knew
(There's someone else up here with you)
There's someone else, and you can trust in me

Think back and remember
All the disappointments you've been through
Well, I've felt them too and all I can say
Is crazy stories really shouldn't get the best of you
I want you too, so I wouldn't let them

(Isn't it time you got the news) Isn't it time you knew
(There's someone else up here with you)
There's someone else, and you can trust in me

(Isn't it time you got the news) Isn't it time you knew
(There's someone else up here with you)
There's someone else with you
(You can trust in me) It's me

(Isn't it time you got the news) Isn't it time
(There's someone else up here with you)
(You can trust in me) You can trust in me

(Isn't it time you got the news, isn't it time)
(Isn't it time you got the news, isn't it time)
(Isn't it time you got the news, isn't it time)
(Isn't it time you got the news, isn't it time)

 

歌詞は微妙に含みが多すぎて・・

訳しづらいそして「隣には別の男が居るんじゃないか…」
彼女が辛い時を経て、共感できるから、「そういうおかしな話は君らしくないよ。でも…僕のこと信じてもらっていいよ…」なのか…

多分僕をもっと信じて・・・そうすれば・・あんな馬鹿なこと起こることないんだから君を不幸にする昔の話ではないんだよ

一番君にふさわしいのはベストなのは

古い過去の君でなく

君のそばにいるべきは

つまり僕なんだ・・・みたいな感覚なんだと思うけど

この曲のリズムと繰り返される

Isn't it time
You can trust in me

が物語ってる気がします。

僕はなぜだか難解な歌詞以上に心動かされる曲で好きなんです。

僕を信じて・・・婉曲な言い回して

恋心を訴えているボズのバラードのような気がして

何度聞いても心動かされるのです！
