《Song of the Breadwinner》歌词

[00:00:00] Song of the Breadwinner - Shannon Stephens

[00:00:00] Light on the water lights on the hills

[00:00:13] Driving across the dark highway bridge

[00:00:25] I've got the heater blasting on high

[00:00:37] Radio sounds like a lullaby

[00:00:49] Got to make money we've got to survive

[00:01:02] Rise in the morning at quarter to five

[00:01:10] It is a privilege to work for your bread

[00:01:23] Everyone else except me is in bed

[00:01:35] I left my lover curled up and warm

[00:01:47] I left a kiss on his open palm

[00:01:59] Coffeepot broken nothing to eat

[00:02:11] Stepped like a phantom out into the street

[00:02:24] Times are unlucky you take what comes through

[00:02:36] Better than sit home with nothing to do

[00:02:45] Panic and heartache crowding your dreams

[00:02:57] Everyone else except me is asleep

[00:03:09] And the sun breaks out with a holy shout

[00:03:23] And the highway sings to me

[00:03:37] And I crow along as I go along

[00:03:50] For the next few miles I'm free

[00:04:10] Up elevator to the nineteenth

[00:04:23] Windows are orange across the street

[00:04:35] My world is empty silent and clean

[00:04:47] Everyone else except me is asleep
