"Tie a yellow ribbon around the old oak tree"
"I'm coming home, I've done my time
Now I've got to know what is and isn't mine
If you received my letter
Telling you I'd soon be free
Then you'll know just what to do
If you still want me, if you still want me
Tie a yellow ribbon around the old oak tree
It's been three long years
Do you still want me
If I don't see a ribbon around the old oak tree
I'll stay on the bus, forget about us
Put the blame on me
If I don't see a yellow ribbon around the old oak tree
Bus driver, please look for me
Cause I couldn't bear to see what I might see
I'm really still in prison
And my love she holds the key
Simple yellow ribbon what I need to set me free
I've wrote and told her please
Now the whole damn bus is cheering
And I can't believe I see
A hundred yellow ribbons around the old oak tree"
歌曲是1973年東尼奧蘭多 &「黎明」合唱團(Tony Orlando & Dawn)的經典歌曲
我個人很喜歡這首歌 原因是整首歌曲調輕快
既無對自身遭遇的怨懟 更無對環境的憤恨
轉化了個人的心境 從而對將來充滿期待
不論有無黃絲帶 都是一個全新的開始
尤其歌詞後半段 當公車更加靠近家門時
那種期待的心情 更令人揪心
當最後的一百條絲帶出現時
往往眼眶不自覺濡濕一片
原來心底的感動
並不需要亙古淒美的情愛
而是來自真實的情感
哪怕是一舉一動之間
