《Corey’s Coming》歌词

[00:00:00] Corey's Coming - Harry Chapin

[00:00:13] Old john Joseph was a man with two first names

[00:00:18] They left him in the railroad yard when they took away the trains

[00:00:23] And only one run a week comes on roaring down that line

[00:00:28] So all he got to worry 'bout is time

[00:00:33] I come by in the evening to hear 'bout where hes been

[00:00:38] He says come on sit down kid where shall I begin

[00:00:42] He starts telling me the stories of the glories of his past

[00:00:47] But he always saves the story of his Corey for the last

[00:00:52] And he says my Corey's coming

[00:00:55] No more sad stories coming

[00:00:59] My mid-night moonlight morning glory's coming aren't ya girl

[00:01:04] And like I told you when she holds you she enfolds you in her world

[00:01:23] I was quite surprised to find out all the places that he knew

[00:01:28] And so I asked the towns folk if his stories were true

[00:01:33] Well they said old john was born here hes lived here all his life

[00:01:38] He's never had a woman let alone a wife

[00:01:43] And very soon you'll find out as you check around

[00:01:48] That no one named Corey's ever lived in this town

[00:01:52] So I chided the old man 'bout the truth that I had heard

[00:01:57] But he smiled and said reality is only just a word

[00:02:02] Can't you see my Corey's coming

[00:02:05] No more sad stories coming

[00:02:08] My mid-night moonlight morning glory's coming aren't ya girl

[00:02:14] And like I told you when she holds you she enfolds you in her world

[00:02:25] I came by one evening but he did not hear my shout

[00:02:30] I looked in the window and I saw the fire was out

[00:02:35] When he would not wake up I forced in the door

[00:02:39] And I saw that old john joseph would tell stories no more

[00:02:46] The scene at the graveyard just three of us were there

[00:02:51] Me and the grave digger we heard the parson's prayer

[00:02:56] He said we need not grieve for this man for we know that god cared

[00:03:09] They put the cold dirt over him and left me on my own

[00:03:14] And when at last I looked up I saw I was not alone

[00:03:19] So I said if your a relative he had a peaceful end

[00:03:25] That's when she said my name is Corey you can say I'm just a friend

[00:03:38] Corey's coming

[00:03:41] No more sad stories coming

[00:03:46] My mid-night moonlight morning glory's coming aren't ya girl

[00:03:57] And like I told you when she holds you she enfolds you in her world

[00:04:22] So that's the old man's story I'm glad you came tonight

[00:04:27] You see a busted down old railroad yard sure makes a lonely sight

[00:04:32] You may wonder why a young man would work out here alone

[00:04:37] Well the job pays enough to keep some flesh on my bones

[00:04:43] And I confess I get to missing the old man a bit

[00:04:47] And theres one other reason I guess I could admit

[00:04:54] Can't you see my Corey's coming

[00:04:57] No more sad stories coming

[00:05:00] My mid-night moonlight morning glory's coming aren't ya girl

[00:05:07] And like he told me when she holds me she enfolds me in her world
