《Drops From The Faucet》歌词

[00:00:00] Drops From The Faucet - Nanci Griffith

[00:00:14] Drops from the faucet like a nervous heart

[00:00:20] Beat on my porcelain sink a rhythm avant-garde

[00:00:27] I page through the phone book reach for my fountain pen

[00:00:34] Is he comin' in for the holidays to haunt me again

[00:00:40] I call up Grand Central information please

[00:00:47] Is that nickel line on time

[00:00:51] Oh fine

[00:00:52] And it's a hair-do with a wave

[00:00:57] We both forgot and forgave last time

[00:01:07] Peddlar of pots and pans down on Union Square

[00:01:12] Said City Hall wants us off the street

[00:01:16] There's no Christmas in the air

[00:01:20] Some high-brows were waiting

[00:01:22] Carnation bright lapels

[00:01:27] Their big cars lined the curbs outside those grand hotels

[00:01:33] I passed a marquee Third Avenue

[00:01:39] Ramona with Loretta Young and I swung myself around

[00:01:50] And headed uptown to the train

[00:02:54] So this is New year's eve another year has passed

[00:03:01] We wait so patiently still they come and go so fast

[00:03:07] I stand on this platform wait for that basket of light

[00:03:13] And the sound of the whistle screamin' out

[00:03:16] Like some hot trumpet in the night

[00:03:21] And as I'm waitin' I wonder why and where

[00:03:28] And what went wrong

[00:03:31] But this song don't tell no lies

[00:03:38] It was just a quick good-bye yeah
