《Circle Of Steel》歌词

[00:00:00] Circle Of Steel - Gordon Lightfoot

[00:00:01] Written by：Gordon Lightfoot

[00:00:17] Rows of lights in a circle of steel

[00:00:21] Where you place your bets on a great big wheel

[00:00:26] High windows flickerin' down through the snow

[00:00:31] A time you know

[00:00:33] Sights and sounds of the people goin' 'round

[00:00:37] Everybody's in step with the season

[00:00:43] A child is born to a welfare case

[00:00:47] Where the rats run around like they own the place

[00:00:53] The room is chilly the building is old

[00:00:57] That's how it goes

[00:01:00] The doctor's found on his welfare round

[00:01:04] And he comes and he leaves on the double

[00:01:10] Deck the halls was the song they played

[00:01:14] In the flat next door where they shout all day

[00:01:19] She tips her gin bottle back till it's gone

[00:01:24] The child is strong

[00:01:26] A week a day they will take it away

[00:01:30] For they know about all her bad habits

[00:01:43] Christmas dawns and the snow let's up

[00:01:46] And the sun hits the handle of her heirloom cup

[00:01:51] She hides her face in her hands for a while

[00:01:57] Says look here child

[00:01:59] Your father's pride was his means to provide

[00:02:03] And he's servin' three years for that reason

[00:02:09] Rows of lights in a circle of steel

[00:02:13] Where you place your bets on a great big wheel

[00:02:18] High windows flickerin' down through the snow

[00:02:23] A time you know

[00:02:25] Sights and sounds of the people goin' 'round

[00:02:29] Everybody's in step with the season
