《Cold Feet》歌词

[00:00:00] Cold Feet - Tracy Chapman (特蕾西·查普曼)

[00:00:01] Written by：Tracy Chapman

[00:00:23] There was a little boy

[00:00:25] Once upon a time

[00:00:28] Who in spite of his young age

[00:00:31] And small size knew his mind

[00:00:33] For every copper penny

[00:00:36] And clover he would find

[00:00:38] Make a wish for better days

[00:00:41] The end of hard times

[00:00:43] For no more

[00:00:44] Cold feet

[00:00:46] Cold cold cold cold feet

[00:00:54] His clothes were always clean

[00:00:56] His face was always scrubbed

[00:00:58] There was food on the table

[00:01:01] Enough to fill him up

[00:01:03] His house was full of life

[00:01:06] His house was full of love

[00:01:08] But when winter days arrived

[00:01:11] There was never money enough to shod his

[00:01:14] Cold feet

[00:01:16] Cold cold cold cold feet

[00:01:23] He grew up to be a worker

[00:01:26] Determined to succeed

[00:01:28] He made a life for himself

[00:01:31] Free from worldly wants or needs

[00:01:33] But with nobody to share the life he'd made

[00:01:36] No body to keep him warm

[00:01:38] At night when he'd go to sleep

[00:01:42] He'd sleep alone with his

[00:01:44] Cold feet

[00:01:46] Cold cold cold cold feet

[00:01:53] One night he walked the street

[00:01:55] Looking to the heaven's above

[00:01:58] Searching for a shooting star

[00:02:01] A benevolent God

[00:02:03] When a woman passing by brushed his arm

[00:02:06] He turned and found love

[00:02:08] He then wished for the courage to ask this stranger

[00:02:11] Who she was to not have

[00:02:14] Cold feet

[00:02:15] Cold cold cold cold feet

[00:02:22] One year later he stood beside her

[00:02:25] I'll give you everything you want

[00:02:27] She said I'll take some love

[00:02:29] From my heart to keep your body warm

[00:02:31] You won't have

[00:02:33] Cold feet

[00:02:35] Cold cold cold cold feet

[00:02:42] That she'd like the party life

[00:02:44] And want the finer things

[00:02:46] So he promised more than he could buy

[00:02:49] He promised her the sun

[00:02:50] And moon to not have

[00:02:52] Cold feet

[00:02:54] Cold cold cold cold feet

[00:03:01] He worked day and night

[00:03:04] His fingers to the bone

[00:03:07] His worried mind

[00:03:08] Guilty conscience drive him on

[00:03:11] He can't give her what she needs

[00:03:13] He wants to give her what he thinks she wants

[00:03:16] Her sad face

[00:03:18] His empty pockets drive him on

[00:03:25] And his

[00:03:26] Cold feet

[00:03:28] Cold cold cold cold feet

[00:03:35] He'd struggled all his life

[00:03:37] To be an honest man

[00:03:39] Proud that the dirt on his palms

[00:03:41] Was the soil of the land

[00:03:44] Some guys he knew from high school days

[00:03:46] Said they had a plan to get rich well quick

[00:03:51] And they could count him in if he don't have

[00:03:54] Cold feet

[00:03:56] Cold cold cold cold feet

[00:04:03] He thought about their offer

[00:04:05] Accepted it without qualms

[00:04:08] Dreamt about the life he'd buy

[00:04:10] The comfort that would come without

[00:04:13] Cold feet

[00:04:15] Cold cold cold cold feet

[00:04:22] He decided to drive the car

[00:04:24] He decided to carry the gun

[00:04:26] To take the biggest risk of all

[00:04:28] To prove his loyalty to his friends

[00:04:31] He decided to tell his wife

[00:04:33] Things would soon turn around

[00:04:35] He said the little boy is dead

[00:04:38] A man stands with you now without

[00:04:42] Cold feet

[00:04:43] Cold cold cold cold feet

[00:04:50] Without

[00:04:51] Cold feet

[00:04:52] Cold cold cold cold feet

[00:05:00] He thought he'd set his clock right

[00:05:02] He thought he'd read his watch

[00:05:04] He left in such a hurry

[00:05:06] He didn't think to wish for luck

[00:05:09] Makes no difference if you're early

[00:05:11] No difference if you're late

[00:05:14] When you're out of time

[00:05:16] The flowers have been laid

[00:05:19] You're six feet underground with

[00:05:22] Cold feet

[00:05:24] Cold cold cold cold feet
