《God Bless the Absentee》歌词

[00:00:01] God Bless The Absentee - Paul Simon

[00:00:26] Lord I am a working man

[00:00:29] And music is my trade

[00:00:32] I'm traveling with this five-piece band

[00:00:35] And I play the ace of spades

[00:00:39] I have a wife and family

[00:00:42] Who don't see much of me

[00:00:45] God bless the absentee

[00:00:55] Lord I am a surgeon

[00:00:58] And music is my knife

[00:01:01] It cuts away my sorrow

[00:01:04] And purifies my life

[00:01:08] But if I could release my heart

[00:01:11] Veins and arteries

[00:01:14] I'd say God bless the absentee

[00:01:22] I miss my woman so

[00:01:25] I miss my bed

[00:01:28] I miss those soft places

[00:01:30] I used to lay my head

[00:02:05] My son don't need me yet

[00:02:08] His bones are soft

[00:02:11] He flies a silver airplane

[00:02:14] He wears a golden cross

[00:02:17] God bless the absentee

[00:02:20] Lord this country's changed so fast

[00:02:24] The future is the present

[00:02:27] The present's in the past

[00:02:30] Highways are in litigation

[00:02:33] The airports disagree

[00:02:37] God bless the absentee

[00:02:45] God bless the absentee

[00:02:52] God bless the absentee
