《On a Corner in Memphis Demo》歌词

[00:00:00] On a Corner in Memphis (在孟菲斯的角落里) - Todd Agnew

[00:00:01] Written by：Todd Agnew

[00:00:13] Saturday on Beale St. with the drunk and the searching

[00:00:19] I hear an old man playing guitar

[00:00:26] I can't make out what he's saying

[00:00:29] But I can tell you that he's suffered

[00:00:32] And that he means every word from the bottom

[00:00:36] Of what's left of his heart

[00:00:42] Tonight

[00:00:52] A few hours later I slip into church

[00:00:59] Singing songs about saving grace

[00:01:05] One guy's nodding off and another hates to be here

[00:01:11] We all mouth the words to save face

[00:01:17] It's 11:15 on Sunday morning

[00:01:24] And I wish I was

[00:01:31] On a corner in Memphis listening to the old man

[00:01:38] Singing out his sorrows laying down his pride

[00:01:44] He's telling me his story or at least his side

[00:01:50] No need to pretend and nowhere to hide

[00:01:58] 'Cause we are all broken here and we are all ashamed

[00:02:11] I couldn't fool you if I wanted to

[00:02:18] Our stories are too much the same

[00:02:24] And what about this Jesus

[00:02:30] They say he drank with the poor the blind and the lame

[00:02:38] Do you think he'd like the songs that we sing

[00:02:44] Or would he feel the same as I do

[00:02:53] What if Sunday school was on Saturday night

[00:03:01] On a corner in Memphis listening to the old man

[00:03:07] Singing out his sorrows laying down his pride

[00:03:13] He's telling me his story or at least his side

[00:03:19] With no need to pretend and nowhere to hide

[00:03:24] On a corner in Memphis

[00:03:50] What if their heart-breaking cries of pain

[00:03:55] Are the first hymns of tomorrow's saints

[00:04:02] On a corner in Memphis we're singing with the old man

[00:04:09] Crying for his sorrows and laying down our pride

[00:04:15] He's telling us our story or at least his side

[00:04:21] With no need to pretend and nowhere to hide

[00:04:26] On a corner in Memphis

[00:04:33] Singing out our sorrows

[00:04:38] He's telling us our story

[00:04:44] With no need to pretend and nowhere to hide

[00:04:53] On a corner in Memphis
