《Christmas Time In The City》歌词

[00:00:00] Christmas Time In The City - Mary Chapin Carpenter

[00:00:14] Well I walked to town in the pouring rain

[00:00:17] Paid my fare and I rode that train

[00:00:21] To the station under the avenue

[00:00:24] Hit the air at the stroke of noon

[00:00:28] At the cross streets where I staked my claim

[00:00:31] I played in tune with the winter rain

[00:00:35] Collecting dimes and dollar bills

[00:00:38] While the noisy traffic played the fills

[00:00:41] And its Christmas time in the city

[00:00:45] When the air is filled with cheer

[00:00:48] And the storefronts look this pretty only once a year

[00:00:59] Well the vendors huddled and the taxis honked

[00:01:02] As I played for change beneath the neon clock

[00:01:05] Was dressed up looking like a Christmas tree

[00:01:09] Blinking down on that busy street

[00:01:12] When the crowd thinned out and the rain had quit

[00:01:15] And my fingers felt cold and stiff

[00:01:19] I took their money and I closed my case

[00:01:23] And I headed back towards home again

[00:01:26] And its Christmas time in the city

[00:01:29] When the air is filled with cheer

[00:01:33] And the storefronts look this pretty only once a year

[00:02:01] As I walked back to the subway stairs

[00:02:03] I had twenty eight dollars in change for fare

[00:02:07] There was an old bag lady with an outstretched hand

[00:02:10] And a small Salvation Army band

[00:02:14] Playing Angels We Have Heard on High

[00:02:17] The First Noel and O Holy Night

[00:02:21] I folded up one dollar bill

[00:02:24] And I tucked it down into the till

[00:02:27] And its Christmas time in the city

[00:02:31] When the air is filled with cheer

[00:02:34] And the storefronts look this pretty only once a year

[00:02:41] And its Christmas time in the city

[00:02:45] When the air is filled with cheer

[00:02:48] And the storefronts look this pretty only once a year

[00:03:09] And its Christmas time in the city
