《Why Should People Stay the Same》歌词

[00:00:00] Why Should People Stay The Same (LP Version) - Harry Chapin

[00:00:17] You were chasing him down Broadway on that white hot July

[00:00:23] 'Cause he thought he'd got a message from some holy man on high

[00:00:28] He said his chance had finally comehe'd done it on his own

[00:00:33] He had to leave his past behindthe first thing that

[00:00:37] Had to go was Home

[00:00:49] You put him in an airplane and packed your life and clothes

[00:00:55] You learned all the lessons that the suitcase lady knows

[00:01:00] He said Something still drags me back from where I'm heading to

[00:01:04] You didn't really understand 'til the next thing

[00:01:09] That had to gowas You

[00:01:16] Some things are sacrificed and some things remain

[00:01:20] Some things bring pleasure and some things bring pain

[00:01:24] Some things must pass away and some things are regained

[00:01:28] When the whole world is changing why should people stay the same

[00:01:45] You saw his picture in the paper that disarming boyish smile

[00:01:51] You sometimes had to swallow hard as you saw him on the dial

[00:01:56] You heard him on a talk show he was hearing no one else

[00:02:00] Then suddenly you knew too well

[00:02:04] The last thing he'd left behind wasHimself

[00:02:16] So you pulled yourself together friends and family said you should

[00:02:22] You discovered you were doing things you never knew you could

[00:02:27] And someday when he calls you which you know of course he'll do

[00:02:31] You'll just send him away again 'cause the last thing you finally

[00:02:39] Found

[00:02:39] Was You

[00:02:43] Some things are sacrificed and some things remain

[00:02:47] Some things bring pleasure and some things bring pain

[00:02:52] Some things must pass away and some things are regained

[00:02:56] When the whole world is changing why should people stay the same

[00:03:34] Some things are sacrificed and some things remain

[00:03:38] Some things bring pleasure and some things bring pain

[00:03:42] Some things must pass away and some things are regained

[00:03:46] Some things are sacrificed and some things remain

[00:03:50] Some things bring pleasure and some things bring pain

[00:03:54] Some things must pass away and some things are regained

[00:03:59] Some things are sacrificed and some things remain

[00:04:03] Some things bring pleasure and some things bring pain

[00:04:07] Some things must pass away and some things are regained
