《The Barfly》歌词

[00:00:20] I met an old man one night in a bar

[00:00:28] He was sitting alone

[00:00:32] The way men his age always are

[00:00:37] His movements were slow

[00:00:40] Didn't speak very well

[00:00:44] But every old man has a story to tell

[00:00:56] He lived by the book

[00:01:05] Went to church every day

[00:01:09] But his wife left him young

[00:01:13] With two daughters and bills to pay

[00:01:17] He worked himself hard

[00:01:21] And the years flickered past

[00:01:33] His girls kept him young

[00:01:37] But they grew up so fast

[00:01:43] Prodigal faith always felt second best

[00:01:51] When she turned seventeen

[00:01:53] She took her coat and her camera

[00:01:56] And headed west

[00:01:59] It broke her dad's heart

[00:02:02] But as he likes to say

[00:02:10] With enough time apart

[00:02:18] Even faith fades away

[00:02:37] Jenny met ray in his last days ashore

[00:03:01] They married in may

[00:03:04] And that August he joined the war

[00:03:08] He said jenny don't cry

[00:03:12] I'll be home in the fall

[00:03:16] So she held her head high

[00:03:18] And said nothing at all

[00:03:24] Then he got in a plane

[00:03:33] Took it up in the air

[00:03:42] It never came down

[00:03:44] For all she knows it's stlil

[00:03:45] Flying around up there

[00:03:50] Then jenny went wrong

[00:03:53] And the last that I heard

[00:03:57] It's been seven years long

[00:04:01] Since she uttered a word

[00:04:06] Seven years gone

[00:04:09] Since she uttered a word

[00:04:20] Now her father just sits

[00:04:24] All alone at the bar

[00:04:28] He orders his drinks

[00:04:30] And smokes cigarettes

[00:04:32] He knows he can't afford

[00:04:36] He's got no regrets

[00:04:40] Says he's doing quite well

[00:04:44] But every old man

[00:04:54] Has a story to tell
