Judy Collins - Priests CAPO: 6th Fret [Intro] [Verse 1] And who will write love songs for you? When I am lord at last And your body is a little highway shrine That all my priests have passed That all my priests have passed [Verse 2] My priests they will put flowers there They will stand before the glass But they’ll wear away your little window love They will trample on the grass They will trample on the grass [Verse 3] And who will aim the arrow That men will follow through your grace When I am lord of memory And all your armour has turned to lace And all your armour has turned to lace? [Verse 4] The simple life of heroes And the twisted life of saints They just confuse the sunny calendar With their red and golden paints With their red and golden paints [Verse 5] And all of you have seen the dance That god has kept from me But he has seen me watching you When all your minds were free When all your minds were free [Verse 6] And who will write love songs for you? When I am lord at last And your body is a little highway shrine That all my priests have passed That all my priests have passed [Verse 7] My priests they will put flowers there They will stand before the glass But they’ll wear away your little window love They will trample on the grass They will trample on the grass

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque la quête de l'amour et la manière dont il peut être célébré et honoré, même après une séparation ou un passage difficile. L'artiste se demande qui prendra le temps d'écrire des chansons d'amour sincères et durables, soulignant la fragilité des relations face à l'influence extérieure des autres. Les prêtres, symboles d'autorité et de dévotion, viennent mettre des fleurs, mais ils peuvent aussi altérer la pureté de cet amour en le rendant moins personnel, presque superficiel. Le contexte de cette œuvre semble explorer les thèmes de la mémoire et de la spiritualité, mêlant les idées d'engagement sacré et d'humanité. À travers une réflexion sur les héros et les saints, la chanteuse souligne la complexité de l'existence et l'idée que, malgré des aspirations élevées, le cœur reste touché par des réalités plus simples et parfois troublantes.
