《Bellingham》歌词

[00:00:00] It must have been our crooked start that chipped me out of place

[00:00:06] And that put me on a train to who knows where

[00:00:12] But looking out the window with the weight of my disgrace

[00:00:18] Looking for what

[00:00:20] I didn't care

[00:00:24] But the little town was greater and old just like bethlehem

[00:00:31] I said

[00:00:32] I'll stop right where I am

[00:00:34] Bellingham

[00:00:47] And standing at the station

[00:01:01] A stranger in the rain

[00:01:03] She was calling out a name that wasn't mine

[00:01:10] She grabbed me by the shoulders

[00:01:12] And I shuddered in surprise

[00:01:15] But she seemed to recognize me alright

[00:01:21] And maybe I believed that she was there looking for me

[00:01:27] And maybe I just wanted to be found

[00:01:33] But I didn't try to clarify

[00:01:36] No

[00:01:36] I just let her leave

[00:01:39] And she closed the trunk and drove me to her house

[00:01:45] She'd been waiting for so long

[00:01:48] She said

[00:01:48] Oh

[00:01:49] I knew that you would come

[00:01:52] But she knows not who I am

[00:01:58] Bellingham

[00:02:19] The whole town dreamed of steamer fleets

[00:02:22] The sultry August day

[00:02:24] When the first ship cleared the panama canal

[00:02:30] For the shipping lanes would mend and change their fortunes and their fates

[00:02:36] Well

[00:02:36] I'm glad that they can't see what I see now

[00:02:42] For there's rubble and driftwood

[00:02:45] Where they pulled their dimes to pay for the most majestic dock in the pugid sound

[00:02:54] And when they cut the ribbon

[00:02:57] The county brass band played

[00:02:59] What a sad moment it seems they struck up now

[00:03:06] No one ever could say why

[00:03:08] But oh

[00:03:09] The ships just passed on by

[00:03:13] And they still don't understand

[00:03:16] And how long did I think I could keep up the masquerade

[00:03:22] And how much did she know it was a lie

[00:03:27] When every bond I'd ever made

[00:03:30] I'd broken or betrayed

[00:03:32] What made me think that I could step into a life that wasn't mine

[00:03:39] I wrote a note and slipped away

[00:03:42] It said

[00:03:42] Oh

[00:03:43] I just can't explain

[00:03:46] But it's all been a show

[00:03:49] Bellingham
