[00:10.217]I'm the great man's chambermaid
[00:12.281]I've seen where his hallowed head is laid
[00:14.707]I revere the places he has stayed
[00:17.273]And clean crumbs from his typewriter
[00:22.319]He is good to me
[00:24.187]There's nothing he doesn't see
[00:26.643]He knows where I'd like to be
[00:29.480]But it doesn't matter
[00:33.778]Mhmm
[00:38.308]On my day off I haunt the docks
[00:40.839]Keep to myself, I go for walks
[00:43.283]I just make sure that lock still locks
[00:45.831]As my ship is coming in
[00:50.308]My mind and hands, they are my trade
[00:52.628]I finger sentences he's made
[00:55.135]I follow every curving of his brain
[01:02.174]Mhmm
[01:06.746]You want to know — did I ever steal?
[01:09.415]He never leaves anything out that's real
[01:11.907]I took nothing he would miss
[01:14.306]But only once
[01:16.246]I stole a kiss
[01:25.867]I used to pretend that I was queen
[01:28.414]But over time I quit that scene
[01:30.959]Costs too much to even dream in that direction
[01:37.584]I think of comfort and of peace
[01:40.255]I long for pleasure and release
[01:42.636]How I wish the din would cease
[01:45.484]I could do with some protection
[01:49.711]Mhmm
[01:54.271]You want to know — did I ever steal?
[01:56.896]He never leaves anything out that's real
[01:59.438]I took nothing he would miss
[02:01.839]But only once
[02:03.763]I stole a kiss
[02:37.737]I'm the great man's chambermaid
[02:39.749]I've seen where his hallowed head is laid
[02:42.185]I revere the places he has played
[02:45.055]I clean crumbs from his typewriter
[02:49.176]He often gives me sage advice
[02:51.737]When I dream of him at night
[02:53.935]He slips his pen into my hand
[02:58.620]And says, “Don't forget to write.”

作曲 : “Chambermaid” is an adaptation of “I Want You” written by Bob Dylan. Additional lyrics by Suzanne Vega and additional music by Suzanne Vega and Gerry Leonard.
I'm the great man's chambermaid
I've seen where his hallowed head is laid
I revere the places he has stayed
And clean crumbs from his typewriter
He is good to me
There's nothing he doesn't see
He knows where I'd like to be
But it doesn't matter
Mhmm
On my day off I haunt the docks
Keep to myself, I go for walks
I just make sure that lock still locks
As my ship is coming in
My mind and hands, they are my trade
I finger sentences he's made
I follow every curving of his brain
Mhmm
You want to know — did I ever steal?
He never leaves anything out that's real
I took nothing he would miss
But only once
I stole a kiss
I used to pretend that I was queen
But over time I quit that scene
Costs too much to even dream in that direction
I think of comfort and of peace
I long for pleasure and release
How I wish the din would cease
I could do with some protection
Mhmm
You want to know — did I ever steal?
He never leaves anything out that's real
I took nothing he would miss
But only once
I stole a kiss
I'm the great man's chambermaid
I've seen where his hallowed head is laid
I revere the places he has played
I clean crumbs from his typewriter
He often gives me sage advice
When I dream of him at night
He slips his pen into my hand
And says, “Don't forget to write.”
