[00:00:02] Written by：GATES/CHRIS/GOTTLIEB/MICHAEL/ROACH/DAVID

[00:00:08] My name

[00:00:10] Is William Taylor

[00:00:14] I was born

[00:00:16] In '24

[00:00:19] Too late to know

[00:00:21] The great fallen

[00:00:25] In time

[00:00:26] To know the great fall

[00:00:29] When my father died

[00:00:32] Of money

[00:00:35] My mother lived in spite

[00:00:39] We laughed

[00:00:41] When nothing was funny

[00:00:46] And how we wept

[00:00:47] When nothing was left

[00:00:53] So I left her there

[00:00:56] In boomtown

[00:00:59] When I reached

[00:01:01] Fifteen years

[00:01:04] I traveled mostly northeast

[00:01:10] With my head

[00:01:11] Held mostly down

[00:01:15] 'Cause they said there was more

[00:01:18] In baltimore

[00:01:21] Where those shipyards never close

[00:01:25] You can sell the man

[00:01:28] Your labor

[00:01:32] And send the money home

[00:01:40] Broadway found me penniless

[00:01:45] The mission found me last

[00:01:51] They gave me a coat

[00:01:53] And three days rest

[00:01:57] And when I awoke and left

[00:02:01] A shroud of steam

[00:02:04] Surrounded me

[00:02:07] And I was borne away

[00:02:12] I found myself

[00:02:14] At sparrows point

[00:02:18] With a slingshot

[00:02:19] In my hand

[00:02:26] Standing there

[00:02:28] Around me

[00:02:30] Two thousand

[00:02:32] Idle hands

[00:02:35] Their heads bowed low

[00:02:38] Their hopes not high

[00:02:41] Their hearts

[00:02:42] Weaned of their homes

[00:02:45] And Their pockets full

[00:02:48] Of photographs

[00:02:51] Their eyes full of

[00:02:53] Goodbyes

[00:02:56] I took my place

[00:02:58] Among my kind

[00:03:02] And I held my place

[00:03:04] In line

[00:03:53] Now I'm twenty one

[00:03:56] And well employed

[00:03:59] And I send home

[00:04:01] Most of my pay

[00:04:04] Which leaves plenty left

[00:04:06] For cigarettes

[00:04:10] To help me pass the days

[00:04:15] With beloved friends

[00:04:18] Surrounding me

[00:04:20] The cold streets so far away

[00:04:26] Three days west

[00:04:27] Of normandy

[00:04:31] A rifle

[00:04:32] In my hand
