All Would Envy (Live In Berlin) 歌詞
All Would Envy (Live In Berlin) - Sting
Old enough to be her dad
But the young men were just mad
They nursed their grievances
She was flattered by his charm
It wouldn't do her any harm
They all had their chances
He sent her flowers and limousines
She was treated like a queen
Anything she ever wanted
Was no problem for a man like him
And everyone expected soon
That she could ask him for the moon
If she would wear his ring
Knowing glances from his friends
In the homes at the weekends of high society
But he didn't give a damn
He never felt more like a man
And all the time the clock was ticking
And all would envy the older man and
His beautiful young wife
Yes all would envy
In a house upon a hill
She was there with time to kill
She lived a life she'd only dreamed
The life was never what it seemed
To all her friends that she d ignored
She denied she was bored
She had no time for dancing
No time for dancing
But the clock upon the wall
That was ticking in the hall
Always reminded her
That life was going on as well
But she was happy and she would swear
She wouldn't change a thing
And all would envy the older man and
His beautiful young wife
Yes all would envy
Now it's 5 o'clock am
She must have spent the night again with
That old friend of hers
She loves to dance
She's missing more and more these days
But he's still stuck in his old ways
Perhaps she needs a little more romance
But the clock upon the wall is still
Ticking in the hall
She must be home soon
Where a younger man would weep
He takes a pill and goes to sleep
Now who would envy the older man and
His beautiful young wife
Who would envy
