Simon & Garfunkel - Silver Haired Daddy

Live In Paris

May 1970

 

In a vine-covered shack in the mountains,
bravely fighting the battle of time
is a dear one who's weathered my sorrows,
tis that silver-haired daddy of mine.

If I could recall all the heartaches,
dear old Daddy, I've caused you to bear,
if I could erase those lines from your face
and bring back the gold to your hair.

If God would but grant me the power
just to turn back the pages of time,
I'd give all I own if I could but atone
to that silver-haired daddy of mine.

Oh, I know it's too late, dear old Daddy
to repay all those sorrows and cares,
though dear Mother is waiting in heaven
just to comfort and solace you there.

If I could recall all the heartaches,
dear old Daddy, I've caused you to bear,
if I could erase those lines from your face
and bring back the gold to your hair,

if God would but grant me the power
just to turn back the pages of time,
I'd give all I own if I could but atone
to that silver-haired daddy of mine.

I'd give all I own if I could but atone
to that silver-haired daddy of mine.

 

1931년 Gene Autry and Jimmy Long 이 만들었던 노래로 알려져 있습니다. 아름다운 멜로디를 갖고 있는 노래로 Simon & Garfunkel의 하모니가 매우 잘 어울립니다. 1969, 1970년 공연에서 많이 불렀는데, 그후엔 공연된 적이 있는지 잘 모르겠네요.

 

컴파일레이션 앨범인 Old Friends에 이곡의 라이브가 실려있습니다.
