《The Next Verse》歌词

[00:00:01] The Next Verse - beautiful south

[00:00:18] There was a pool table there at the wedding

[00:00:24] That most of the men stood and played

[00:00:28] Whilst the women danced in their melancholy

[00:00:33] Till the last song started to fade

[00:00:37] And as D J turned the lights up

[00:00:43] And packed his records away

[00:00:48] He noticed a lonely figure still there

[00:00:53] So quietly turned to say

[00:00:58] Tears you thought lasted a lifetime

[00:01:02] Won't last too much more than a day

[00:01:06] And you'll prove that you still have your strength left

[00:01:11] When you wipe those tears away well away

[00:01:21] Roses in garden bring joy to the bleak

[00:01:26] Lilies save wretched from worse

[00:01:31] Music lifts up those too weary to speak

[00:01:35] So sister you sing the next verse

[00:01:52] The path in life that you have taken

[00:01:56] I can figure out just from your frown

[00:02:01] Either it's down the up escalator

[00:02:06] Or maybe sometimes up the down

[00:02:10] And you may not feel that you have traveled

[00:02:15] But sure as hell been across town

[00:02:20] And certainly if story unraveled

[00:02:25] You've lost more than you've ever found

[00:02:30] One thing's for certain you've traveled

[00:02:34] And a not too dissimilar route

[00:02:39] Those ups and downs and rounds after rounds

[00:02:44] You're wearing them just like a suit like a suit

[00:02:53] So if roses in garden bring joy to the bleak

[00:02:58] Lilies save wretched from worse

[00:03:03] Music lifts up those too weary to speak

[00:03:07] Then D J I'll take the next verse

[00:03:14] So sister judge strength not by muscle

[00:03:19] Or weight that your body can lift

[00:03:23] But by heavyweight heart that you carry

[00:03:28] That no other young woman could shift

[00:03:33] Hey Mr D J a special request

[00:03:38] Play that last record for me

[00:03:43] And make it as long and as painfully sad

[00:03:46] As any slow ballad could be

[00:03:52] As any slow ballad could be
