The River In The Pines - Joan Baez
The River In The PinesJoan BaezOh, Mary was a maiden
When the birds began to sing
She was sweeter than the blooming rose
So early in the spring
Her thoughts were gay and happy
And the morning gay and fine
For her lover was a river boy
From the river in the pines
Now Charlie he got married
To his Mary in the spring
When the trees were budding early
And the birds began to sing
But early in the autumn
When the fruit is in the wine
I'll return to you my darling
from the river in the pines
It was early in the morning
In Wisconsin dreary clime
When he ruled the fatal rapids
For that last and fatal time
They found his body lying
on the rocky shore below
Where the silent water ripple
and the whispering cedars blow
Now every raft of lumber
That comes down the Chip away
There's a lonely grave
that's visited by drivers on their way
They plant wild flowers upon it
in the morning fair and fine
It is the grave of two young lovers
from the river in the pines
아주, 아주 좋아하는 노래다. 십수년 전에 아버지가 가져오신 카세트 테이프를 통해 처음 들었고, 당시에는 참 청승맞다고만 느꼈었다. 그래도 그 무렵부터 올드팝..에 호감을 갖기 시작했던 것도 같다. 사이먼 가펑클, 비지스, 핑크플로이드, 딥 퍼플, 레드 제플린...
아무튼, 오늘은 이 노래가 너무 듣고 싶었다. 그리고 누군가 나와 비슷한 상태(?)라면 같이 들어도 좋을 것이라 생각한다.
