《A Better Place to Be》歌词

[00:00:00] A Better Place To Be - Harry Chapin
[00:00:04] It was an early morning bar room
[00:00:08] And the place just opened up
[00:00:10] And the little man come in so fast and it
[00:00:14] Started at his cups
[00:00:16] And the broad who served the whiskey
[00:00:19] She was a big old friendly girl
[00:00:22] And tried to fight her empty nights
[00:00:25] By smilin' at the world
[00:00:28] And she said Hey Bub It's been awhile
[00:00:32] Since you been around
[00:00:34] Where the hell you been hidin'
[00:00:37] And why you look so down
[00:00:42] The little man just sat there like he'd never heard a sound
[00:00:50] The waitress she gave out with a cough
[00:00:53] Acting not the least put off
[00:00:56] She spoke once again
[00:00:59] She said I don't want to bother you
[00:01:02] Consider it's understood
[00:01:05] I know I'm not no beauty queen
[00:01:08] But I sure can listen good
[00:01:14] And the little man took his drink in his hand
[00:01:17] And he raised it to his lips
[00:01:20] He took a couple of sips
[00:01:23] And he told that waitress this story
[00:01:32] I am the midnight watchman down at Miller's Tool and Die
[00:01:40] And I watch the metal rusting I watch the time go by
[00:01:47] A week ago at the Diner I stopped to get a bite
[00:01:53] And this here lovely lady she sat two seats from my right
[00:02:01] And Lord Lord Lord
[00:02:03] She was alright
[00:02:07] She was so damned beautiful she could warm a winter's frost
[00:02:14] But she looked long past lonely and well nigh kinda lost
[00:02:22] Now I'm not much of a mover or a pick-em-up easy guy
[00:02:27] But I decided to glide on over and give her one good try
[00:02:35] And Lord Lord Lord
[00:02:37] She was worth a try
[00:02:41] Tongued tied like a school boy
[00:02:43] I stammered out some words
[00:02:48] It did not seem to matter much 'cause I don't think she heard
[00:02:55] She just looked clear on through me to a space back in my head
[00:03:01] And it shamed me into silence as quietly she said
[00:03:09] If you want me to come with you that's all right with me
[00:03:15] Cause I know I'm going nowhere and anywhere's a better place to be
[00:03:34] Anywhere's a better place to be
[00:03:39] When I drove her to my boarding house and I took her up to my room
[00:03:45] And I went to turn on the only light to brighten up the gloom
[00:03:51] But she said Please leave the light off oh I don't mind the dark
[00:04:00] And as her clothes all tumbled 'round her I could hear my heart
[00:04:12] The moonlight shown upon her as she lay back in my bed
[00:04:19] It was the kind of scene I only had imagined in my head
[00:04:27] I just could not believe it to think that she was real
[00:04:33] And as I tried to tell her she said I know just how you feel
[00:04:43] And if you want to come here with me that's all right with me
[00:04:49] 'Cause I've been oh so lonely lovin' someone is a better way to be
[00:05:09] Anywhere's a better way to be
[00:05:17] When the morning came so swiftly I held her in my arms
[00:05:24] She slept like a baby snug and safe from harm
[00:05:31] I did not want to share her or dare to break the mood
[00:05:37] So before she woke I went out to buy us both some food
[00:05:45] I came back with my paper bag to find that she was gone
[00:05:54] She'd left a six word letter saying It's time that I moved on
[00:06:10] You know the waitress took her bar rag
[00:06:14] And she wiped it across her eyes
[00:06:18] And as she spoke her voice came out as something like a sigh
[00:06:26] She said I wish that I was beautiful or that you were halfway blind
[00:06:34] And I wish I weren't so goddamned fat I wish that you were mine
[00:06:42] And I wish that you'd come with me when I leave for home
[00:06:51] For we both know all about emptiness and livin' all alone
[00:07:01] And the little man
[00:07:05] Looked at the empty glass in his hand
[00:07:09] And he smiled a crooked grin
[00:07:13] He said I guess I'm out of gin
[00:07:17] And I know we both have been so lonely
[00:07:25] And if you want me to come with you that's all right with me
[00:07:35] Cause I know I'm goin' nowhere and anywhere's a better place to be
