《The Diplomat》歌词

[00:00:01] The Diplomat - Johnny Cash

[00:00:15] He slowly raised the trembling hand

[00:00:18] Gently brushed the silver strand

[00:00:22] Of hair from his wrinkled brow

[00:00:26] Lips that used to talk so free

[00:00:29] The eyes that used to beckon me

[00:00:32] Were silent now

[00:00:35] He listens to a passin' train

[00:00:38] Gives into an old familiar pain

[00:00:43] Familiar pain

[00:00:47] They retired him twenty years ago

[00:00:50] Gave him a watch made of gold

[00:00:53] And took his train

[00:00:57] His woman's name was Margaret

[00:01:00] He loved her but she went away

[00:01:03] And left his heart undone

[00:01:08] He called this train the Diplomat

[00:01:11] She's the only other lady that he ever loved

[00:01:17] Some forty years he made the steam

[00:01:20] From Memphis down to New Orleans

[00:01:23] But now he's off the line

[00:01:28] And the closest that he ever gets to Margaret

[00:01:32] Or the Diplomat is in his mind

[00:01:38] He said take me to the station

[00:01:42] The Diplomat is bringing Margaret home

[00:01:48] Can't you hear that whistle blowing

[00:01:53] They both know I've been alone for much too long

[00:01:59] Let's not keep 'em waitin'

[00:02:02] We'll talk about the good times later on

[00:02:08] Right now take me to the station

[00:02:13] The Diplomat is bringing Margaret home

[00:02:20] They say he talks crazy when he sees the passin' train

[00:02:27] Or when he hears Margaret's name

[00:02:33] But the only things he ever loved he lost before

[00:02:37] He loved enough he's not to blame

[00:02:42] So who's to say he's right or wrong

[00:02:45] Reachin' out and hangin' on

[00:02:47] To dreams he can't let go

[00:02:53] He threw the watch of gold away

[00:02:56] But keeps tracks of memories

[00:02:59] Where he belongs

[00:03:03] He said take me to the station

[00:03:07] The Diplomat is bringing Margaret home

[00:03:12] Can't you hear that whistle blowing

[00:03:17] They both know I've been alone for much too long

[00:03:23] Let's not keep 'em waitin'

[00:03:26] We'll talk about the good times later on

[00:03:32] Right now take me to the station the Diplomat is bringing Margaret home

[00:03:44] They retired him twenty years ago

[00:03:48] Gave him a watch made of gold

[00:03:52] And took daddy's train
