《Nellie Takes Her Bow》歌词

[00:00:00] Nellie Takes Her Bow - Electric Light Orchestra

[00:00:16] Who thanked the Lord for the clothes

[00:00:19] That she wore and mended

[00:00:23] Nellie with the big old fashioned eyes

[00:00:34] Who won the heart of a crowd tore apart took a bow

[00:00:40] Nellie there's a different world backstage

[00:00:52] I see the flood lights burning

[00:00:59] I hear the band play on

[00:01:09] Now Nellie takes her bow

[00:01:18] She said she really could not stay

[00:01:26] She had a brand new play to play

[00:01:35] And so she paints her face and smiles

[00:01:43] And she'll be someone else in a while

[00:01:52] I see the flood lights burning

[00:02:00] I hear the band play on

[00:02:09] Now Nellie takes her bow

[00:04:25] Who could not face a broken world

[00:04:29] And so she acts out all her dreams

[00:04:29] Just a lonely girl

[00:04:32] And wishes that's how it had been

[00:04:36] But when the audience is near

[00:04:39] It seems as though she doesn't even care

[00:04:50] I see the flood lights burning

[00:04:54] I hear the band play on

[00:04:55] Now Nellie takes her bow

[00:04:57] Nellie just sent me a line

[00:05:00] To tell me she was doing fine

[00:05:04] She got the lead and on Broadway

[00:05:13] And now they're digging her today

[00:05:18] And as she turns the final page

[00:05:21] Living someone's life upon the stage

[00:05:24] I see the flood lights burning

[00:05:27] I hear the band play on

[00:05:30] Now Nellie takes her bow
