Gsus4 G Seems like many dim years ago Since I heard that face to face or Seen you face to face Though tonight I can feel you here Pattern 1 Gm7sus4 I get these notes on butterflies and Gsus4 Open G Lilac sprays from girls who just have to Tell me they saw you some-where / - (3x) / - / In some office sits a poet And he trembles as he sings And he asks some guy To circulate his soul around On your mark red ribbon runner The caressing rev of motors Finely tuned like fancy women In thirties evening gowns Up the charts off to the airport Your name’s in the news Everything’s first class The lights go down and It’s just you up there Getting them to feel like that Remember the days when you used to sit And make up your tunes for love And pour your simple sorrow To the soundhole and your knee And now you’re seen on giant screens And at parties for the press And for people who have slices of you From the company They toss around your latest golden egg Speculation- well who’s to know If the next one in the nest Will glitter for them so I guess I seem ungrateful With my teeth sunk in the hand That brings me things I really can’t give up just yet Now I sit up here the critic And they introduce some band But they seem so much confetti Looking at them from my TV set Oh the power and the glory Just when you’re getting a taste for worship They start bringing out the hammers And the boards and the nails I heard it in the wind last night It sounded like applause Chilly now end of summer No more shiny hot nights It was just the arbutus rustling And the bumping of the logs And the moon swept down black water Open G Like an emp- -ty spotlight

La chanson évoque la nostalgie et la mélancolie d'une artiste réfléchissant sur sa carrière et la célébrité. Elle se remémore des temps passés où elle créait de la musique pour l'amour, avant de se retrouver en haut de l'affiche, entourée de l'éclat du succès et des attentes du public. Le contraste entre sa vie d'artiste autrefois simple et la complexité de sa vie actuelle est palpable, soulignant un sentiment d'impuissance face aux exigences du monde artistique. Elle évoque également les moments fugaces de reconnaissance, comme des applaudissements lointains, mais aussi l'isolement et la solitude qui peuvent accompagner la gloire. La mélodie et les paroles mettent en lumière un univers où la créativité et la recherche d'authenticité s'affrontent avec la superficialité de la notoriété.
