《Song For Richard Collopy》歌词

[00:00:00] Song For Richard Collopy - Sun Kil Moon

[00:00:13] He worked from morning to ten at night sometimes three am

[00:00:19] Fixing guitars for a living honing and polishing frets

[00:00:26] Setting the intonation and set the action good

[00:00:32] Carving saddles from ox bone bridges from Brazilian wood

[00:00:38] He fixed my old Gibson L double O

[00:00:44] He reset the neck used a patch of bondo

[00:00:50] Near the sound-hole where the wood wore away

[00:00:55] From many years of age and hard play

[00:01:00] Sometime he'd leave without warning and just close up shop

[00:01:06] No sign no message no call no nothing he just stopped

[00:01:13] Coming to work and picking up the telephone

[00:01:19] I left more than a few messages for him after the tone

[00:01:25] All summer he wouldn't return my calls

[00:01:30] Hey Richard I'd like my guitar back by fall

[00:01:36] Got a record to make and a promise to bring

[00:01:42] A tour in England a smile to feigng

[00:01:47] September or maybe October he called and said it was done

[00:01:53] I got in the taxi and got my guitar and man that thing sung

[00:02:00] Like a choir of angels and the neck it felt great

[00:02:06] And that was the last time i saw him late 2008

[00:02:13] Why Richard Collopy Why Richard Why

[00:02:18] Did you have to go off with the birds in the sky

[00:02:23] You were the best guitar guy out west

[00:02:28] I cherish your work and wish you good rest

[00:02:34] Why Richard Collopy Why Why

[00:02:39] Did you have to lie down and close your eyes

[00:02:45] Close down your shop and not say goodbye

[00:02:50] I'll own this guitar for the rest of my life

[00:02:55] I'll play this guitar for the rest of my life

[00:03:01] Why Richard Collopy Why Richard Why

[00:03:07] Why Richard Collopy Why Richard Why
