《Casey’s Last Ride》歌词

[00:00:01] Casey's Last Ride - Kris Kristofferson

[00:00:07] Casey joins the hollow sound of silent people walking down

[00:00:13] The stairway to the subway in the shadows down below

[00:00:18] Following their footsteps through the neon-darkened corridors

[00:00:25] Of silent desperation never speaking to a soul

[00:00:34] The poison air he's breathing has the dirty smell of dying

[00:00:39] 'Cos it's never seen the sunshine and it's never felt the rain

[00:00:45] But Casey minds the arrows and ignores the fatal echoes

[00:00:52] Of the clicking of the turnstiles and the rattle of his chains

[00:01:04] "Oh " she said: "Casey it's been so long since I've seen you

[00:01:13] "Here" she said: "just a kiss to make a body smile

[00:01:22] "See" she said: "I've put on new stockings just to please you

[00:01:32] "Lord" she said "Casey can you only stay a while "

[00:01:46] Casey leaves the underground

[00:01:49] And stops inside The Golden Crown

[00:01:52] For something wet to wipe away the chill

[00:01:56] That's on his bones

[00:01:58] Seeing his reflection in the lives of all the lonely men

[00:02:03] Who reach for anything

[00:02:05] They can to keep from going home

[00:02:09] Standing in the corner

[00:02:14] Casey drinks his pint of bitter

[00:02:17] Never glancing in the mirror at the people passing by

[00:02:23] Then he stumbles as he's leaving and he wonders if the reason

[00:02:30] Is the beer that's in his belly or the tear that's in his eye

[00:02:42] "Oh " she said: "I suppose you seldom think about me

[00:02:51] "Now " she said: "now that you've a family of your own

[00:03:00] "Still " she said: "It's so blessed good to feel your body

[00:03:09] "Lord " she said: "Casey it's a shame to be alone "
