《Days Of Sand And Shovels》歌词

[00:00:00] Days Of Sand And Shovels - Anthony Armstrong Jones

[00:00:10] When I noticed her the first time

[00:00:12] I was outside running barefoot in the rain

[00:00:21] She lived in the house next door

[00:00:23] Her nose was pressed against the window pane

[00:00:30] When I looked at her she smiled

[00:00:32] And showed a place where two teeth used to be

[00:00:41] And I heard her ask her mom

[00:00:43] If she could come outside and play with me

[00:00:51] Soon the days of sand and shovels

[00:00:53] Gave way to the mysteries of life

[00:01:01] Then I noticed she was changing

[00:01:03] And I looked at her through different eyes

[00:01:11] We became as one and knew a love

[00:01:14] Without beginning or an end

[00:01:21] And every day I lived with her

[00:01:23] Was like a new day dawning once again

[00:01:29] And I've loved her since

[00:01:31] Every doll was Shirley Temple

[00:01:37] Soda pop was still a nickel

[00:01:42] Jam was on her fingertips

[00:01:47] Milk was circled on her lips

[00:01:51] After many years our love grew silent

[00:01:54] And at night I heard her cry

[00:02:01] And when she left me in the Fall

[00:02:03] I knew it would be our last goodbye

[00:02:11] I was man enough to give her

[00:02:13] Everything she needed for a while

[00:02:21] In searching for a perfect love

[00:02:23] I found that I could not give her a child

[00:02:31] Now she lives a quiet life

[00:02:33] And is a mother of a little girl

[00:02:41] And every time I pass her house

[00:02:43] My thoughts go back into another world

[00:02:51] Because I see her little girl

[00:02:53] Her nose is pressed against the window pane

[00:03:01] She thinks I'm a lonely man

[00:03:03] Wants to come inside out of the rain

[00:03:09] And I've loved her since

[00:03:11] Every doll was Shirley Temple

[00:03:16] Soda pop was still a nickel
