《Broken Man’s Lament》歌词

[00:00:00] Broken Man's Lament - Emmylou Harris (爱美萝·哈里斯)

[00:00:01] I was once a broken man

[00:00:04] I was once a broken fool

[00:00:10] Lost my wife and children

[00:00:12] To one basic broken rule

[00:00:16] Now I live my life in silence

[00:00:19] Though I'm not quite in a shell

[00:00:25] I drink and listen to that song

[00:00:27] A whiter shade of pale

[00:00:30] Oh a whiter shade of pale

[00:00:36] I was a good shade tree mechanic

[00:00:39] So I sent myself to school

[00:00:42] They smoothed out my rough edges

[00:00:46] In my hands they put new tools

[00:00:49] The instructor once he told me

[00:00:52] I could work on any line

[00:00:57] I could tune and make a diesel sing

[00:01:01] Just like Patsy Cline

[00:01:05] Oh just like Patsy Cline

[00:01:14] Well I met my wife to be

[00:01:17] Through my mother's best friend son

[00:01:20] She'd been a barroom singer

[00:01:23] She was as good as anyone

[00:01:27] But I asked her to stop singing

[00:01:31] And the girl she did not flinch

[00:01:34] Next day she went and bought that man

[00:01:38] A brand new crescent wrench

[00:01:40] Oh a brand new crescent wrench

[00:01:51] Well we had three fine children

[00:01:54] As eight years went on by

[00:01:58] I learned to supervise a line

[00:02:01] My knuckles stayed bone dry

[00:02:04] But after supper I kept hearing her

[00:02:07] By the kitchen radio

[00:02:12] Singing sweet but desperate harmony

[00:02:16] A little bit too low

[00:02:19] Oh a little bit too low

[00:02:28] She left three months later

[00:02:31] I'd just come home for lunch

[00:02:35] The note said easy come hard go

[00:02:39] But still love you much

[00:02:42] She said I don't know if I'll be back

[00:02:45] Or if you'll want me if I come

[00:02:49] But if and when that happens dear

[00:02:52] You better let my sweet dream run

[00:02:55] Oh let my sweet dream run

[00:03:29] I was a good shade tree mechanic

[00:03:31] So I sent myself to school

[00:03:36] They smoothed out my rough edges

[00:03:39] In my hands they put new tools

[00:03:43] The instructor once he told me

[00:03:46] I could work on any line

[00:03:51] But now a diesel ain't the only thing

[00:03:55] Can sing like Patsy Cline

[00:03:58] Oh can sing like Patsy Cline

[00:04:03] I was once a broken man

[00:04:07] I was once a broken fool

[00:04:11] Lost my wife and children

[00:04:14] To one basic broken rule

[00:04:18] Now I live my life in silence

[00:04:21] Though I'm not quite in a shell

[00:04:27] I drink and listen to that song

[00:04:30] A whiter shade of pale

[00:04:34] Oh a whiter shade of pale
