《A Night This Side Of Dying》歌词

[00:00:00] A Night This Side Of Dying - Carole King (卡洛·金)

[00:00:18] I remember one young sister with rainbows in her eyes

[00:00:27] Standing on a corner with the afternoon's supply

[00:00:35] She spoke of other places perhaps a better road

[00:00:44] Then she asked if I could tell her where they kept the mother lode

[00:00:52] Like a night this side of dying

[00:00:57] Her day's inside the dropper on the shelf

[00:01:06] When she hears her lifeline crying

[00:01:10] Not a thing you say can stop her

[00:01:14] When she just can't stop herself

[00:01:33] I remember that July the panic and the heat

[00:01:42] The savage shine of summer the strychnine in the street

[00:01:51] The way they sold each other for a favor in glassine

[00:02:00] The best of friends sold brothers for a dime of quinine dreams

[00:02:08] Like a night this side of dying

[00:02:12] Her day's inside the dropper on the shelf

[00:02:21] Like the shelter she's been buying

[00:02:25] Not a thing I've got can save her

[00:02:29] When she just can't save herself

[00:02:36] She just can't save herself
