[00:00:00] Taxi (出租车) - Harry Chapin

[00:00:00] Written by：Harry Chapin

[00:00:12] It was raining hard in 'Frisco

[00:00:16] I needed one more fare to make my night

[00:00:20] A lady up ahead waved to flag me down

[00:00:24] She got in at the light

[00:00:30] Oh where you going to my lady blue

[00:00:34] It's a shame you ruined your gown in the rain

[00:00:40] She just looked out the window and said

[00:00:44] Sixteen Parkside lane

[00:00:57] Something about her was familiar

[00:01:01] I could swear I'd seen her face before

[00:01:05] But she said I'm sure you're mistaken

[00:01:09] And she didn't say anything more

[00:01:15] It took a while but she looked in the mirror

[00:01:19] And she glanced at the license for my name

[00:01:23] A smile seemed to come to her slowly

[00:01:27] It was a sad smile just the same

[00:01:33] And she said how are you harry

[00:01:38] I said how are you sue

[00:01:41] Through the too many miles

[00:01:44] And the too little smiles

[00:01:46] I still remember you

[00:02:07] It was somewhere in a fairy tale

[00:02:12] I used to take her home in my car

[00:02:16] We learned about love in the back of the dodge

[00:02:20] The lesson hadn't gone too far

[00:02:26] You see she was gonna be an actress

[00:02:30] And I was gonna learn to fly

[00:02:34] She took off to find the footlights

[00:02:38] And I took off to find the sky

[00:02:54] Oh I've got something inside me

[00:02:59] To drive a princess blind

[00:03:02] There's a wild man wizard

[00:03:06] He's hiding in me illuminating my mind

[00:03:13] Oh I've got something inside me

[00:03:18] Not what my life's about

[00:03:21] Cause I've been letting my outside tide me

[00:03:27] Over 'till my time runs out

[00:03:47] Baby's so high that she's skying

[00:03:54] Yes she's flying afraid to fall

[00:04:03] I'll tell you why baby's crying

[00:04:10] Cause she's dying aren't we all

[00:04:24] There was not much more for us to talk about

[00:04:29] Whatever we had once was gone

[00:04:32] So I turned my cab into the driveway

[00:04:36] Past the gate and the fine trimmed lawns

[00:04:43] And she said we must get together

[00:04:47] But I knew it'd never be arranged

[00:04:51] And she handed me twenty dollars

[00:04:53] For a two fifty fare she said

[00:04:56] Harry keep the change

[00:05:01] Well another man might have been angry

[00:05:05] And another man might have been hurt

[00:05:09] But another man never would have let her go

[00:05:14] I stashed the bill in my shirt

[00:05:19] And she walked away in silence

[00:05:23] It's strange how you never know

[00:05:27] But we'd both gotten what we'd asked for

[00:05:31] Such a long long time ago

[00:05:39] You see she was gonna be an actress

[00:05:43] And I was gonna learn to fly

[00:05:48] She took off to find the footlights

[00:05:52] And I took off for the sky

[00:05:57] And here she's acting happy

[00:06:02] Inside her handsome home

[00:06:06] And me I'm flying in my taxi

[00:06:10] Taking tips and getting stoned

[00:06:16] I go flying so high when I'm stoned
