That Girl Could Sing

Jackson Browne

Transposer:

[INTRO] / / / / 2x [Verse 1] She was a friend to me when I needed one Wasn’t for her I don’t know what I’d done She gave me back something that was missing in me She could of turned out to be almost anyone Almost anyone With the possible exception of who I wanted her to be [BREAK] 2x [CHORUS] Running into the midnight with her clothes whipping in the wind Reaching into the heart of the darkness for the tenderness within Stumblin’ into the lights of the city and then back in the shadows again Hanging onto the laughter that each of us hid our unhappiness in [BRIDGE] Talk about celestial bodies And your angels on the wing She wasn’t much good at stickin’ around but That girl could sing She could sing... [SOLO] 8x [Verse 2] In the dead of night she could shine a light On some places that you’ve never been In that kind of light You could lose your sight And believe there was something to win You could hold her tight With all your might But she’d slip through your arms like the wind And be back in flight Back into the night Where you might never see her again [BRIDGE] The longer I thought I might find her The shorter my vision became Running in circles behind her And thinking in terms of the blame But she couldn’t have been any kinder If she’d come back and tried to explain She wasn’t much good at saying goodbye but That girl could sing [OUTRO] 8x

Cette chanson évoque la relation délicate entre un homme et une femme qui a su l’éclairer dans des moments de solitude. Elle représente une sorte de muse, qui apporte une lumière réconfortante dans ses nuits sombres, mais qui demeure insaisissable, glissant toujours entre ses doigts. La mélodie est imprégnée de nostalgie, reflet de la beauté et de la mélancolie d'un lien éphémère, où l’authenticité des émotions se mêle à la difficulté de dire au revoir. Le récit se déroule dans un cadre urbain la nuit, symbolisant les tumultes de la vie moderne, où les rires cachent souvent des peines. Malgré la complexité de leurs échanges, cette femme sait chanter avec une telle passion qu'elle laisse une empreinte indélébile dans le cœur de celui qui la côtoie. À travers ces paroles, on ressent l’importance de ces moments partagés, malgré leur nature fugace.
