《She Is Always Seventeen》歌词

[00:00:00] She Is Always Seventeen (坦率的市长说谎了) - Harry Chapin
[00:00:15] In the little town of candor in the last year of my youth
[00:00:21] I learned the final lesson of the levels to the truth
[00:00:25] My father was a farmer he'd go tilling in the ground
[00:00:30] My mother was a neighbor she'd go visiting around
[00:00:36] But I didn't care
[00:00:38] For I had found the answer to a plow boy's lonely prayer
[00:00:43] She was the daughter of the mayor
[00:00:50] The mayor fought my courtship for he'd made other plans
[00:00:54] He saw her married to a better man than a boy with farmer's hands
[00:00:59] I said I hate your father it's so hard not to strike him
[00:01:04] She said you know I love you because you're so much like him
[00:01:12] And so I'd go sneaking in the evening
[00:01:17] And there she'd stand a crying in the dawn as I was leaving
[00:01:25] But the mayor of candor lied
[00:01:27] When he offered me his only daughter
[00:01:30] The mayor of candor tried
[00:01:32] To take her off across the water
[00:01:34] What a thing to do to a young man in love
[00:01:39] What a thing to do to your daughter
[00:01:50] One day with father on his tractor and mother off again
[00:01:55] I go to find the mayor and work out what I can
[00:01:59] But he is not at his office he is not at his home
[00:02:04] When I find him in the countryside he is not alone
[00:02:09] He is holding a woman and imagine my surprise
[00:02:14] As she jumps back from his arms I look into my mother's eyes
[00:02:27] All my thoughts of outrage embarrassment and pain
[00:02:31] Were washed away by what came roaring through my brain
[00:02:36] The mayor's at my mercy and I hear my own voice say
[00:02:40] Your run for re-election sir is just one month away
[00:02:48] And the world will never know of what I've seen here sir
[00:02:53] But I'll be with your daughter is my meaning clear sir
[00:03:01] The mayor of candor lied
[00:03:03] When he offered me his only daughter
[00:03:05] The mayor of candor tried
[00:03:07] To take her off across the water
[00:03:10] What a thing to do to a young man in love
[00:03:14] What a thing to do to your daughter
[00:03:21] My mother looks in horror at the compromise we made
[00:03:25] But the mayor's rueful smile says the piper must be paid
[00:03:29] I had a month of joy in heaven from this deal I'd made in hell
[00:03:33] What was to happen then my friend a prophet could not tell
[00:04:07] The day after his re-election and the victory celebration
[00:04:16] The mayor takes his family on a month long foreign vacation
[00:04:30] Oh Coleen you know how much I love you
[00:04:39] There is no one I'd ever place above you
[00:04:48] Oh Coleen you don't even know me
[00:04:57] To have you there's nothing that's below me
[00:05:10] But time always passes after all
[00:05:16] And as the summer follows spring so does the winter follow fall
[00:05:42] The day that they return I stand waiting on the road
[00:05:46] I watch the car drive up I watch the passengers unload
[00:05:51] Of course she isn't there of course I should have known
[00:05:55] The mayor says that she has stayed the decision was her own
[00:06:01] He said she's finishing her schooling on that unseen foreign shore
[00:06:06] And I'll tell you very frankly boy you'll not see her anymore
[00:06:13] The mayor of candor lied
[00:06:15] When he offered me his only daughter
[00:06:18] The mayor of candor tried
[00:06:20] To take her off across the water
[00:06:22] What a thing to do to a young man in love
[00:06:27] What a thing to do to your daughter
[00:06:34] I spit out my hatred and my fury at his lies
[00:06:38] When he says you tried to blackmail me you're just as bad as I
[00:06:43] Go and do your damndest throw your mother to the streets
[00:06:47] You know it's been too many years I had to be discreet
[00:06:55] And as he stands there saying we're just two of a kind
[00:07:00] It hits me like a thunderbolt exploding in my mind
[00:07:07] As I look into his leering aged wrinkled mirror of my own face
[00:07:21] He laughs and sneers and says of course dear son
[00:07:27] Where do you think you came from in the first place
[00:07:44] The mayor of candor lied
[00:07:46] When he offered me his only daughter
[00:07:48] The mayor of candor tried
[00:07:51] To take her across the water
[00:07:53] What a thing to do to a young man in love
[00:07:57] What a thing to do to your daughter
