《Corey’s Coming》歌词

[00:00:00] Corey's Coming (LP版) - Harry Chapin

[00:00:01] Written by：Harry Chapin

[00:00:13] Old John Joseph was a man with two first names

[00:00:18] They left him in the railroad yard when they took away the trains

[00:00:23] Only one run a week comes on roaring down that line

[00:00:28] So all he got to worry 'bout is time

[00:00:33] I come by in the evening to hear 'bout where he's been

[00:00:37] He says come on sit down kid where shall I begin

[00:00:42] He starts telling me the stories of the glories of his past

[00:00:47] But he always saves the story of his Corey for the last

[00:00:52] And he says my Corey's coming no more sad stories coming

[00:00:59] My midnight moonlight morning glory's coming aren't you girl

[00:01:04] And like I told you when she holds you

[00:01:08] She enfolds you in her world

[00:01:23] I was quite surprised to find out all the places that he knew

[00:01:28] And so I asked the towns folk if his stories were true

[00:01:33] Well they said old John was born here he's lived here all his life

[00:01:38] He's never had a woman let alone a wife

[00:01:43] And very soon you'll find out as you check around

[00:01:48] That no one named Corey's ever lived in this town

[00:01:52] So I chided the old man 'bout the truth that I had heard

[00:01:57] He smiled and said reality is only just a word

[00:02:02] Can't you see my Corey's coming

[00:02:05] No more sad stories coming

[00:02:08] My midnight moonlight morning glory's coming aren't you girl

[00:02:14] And like I told you when she holds you she enfolds you in her world

[00:02:25] I came by one evening but he did not hear my shout

[00:02:29] I looked in the window and saw the fire was out

[00:02:35] When he would not wake up I forced in the door

[00:02:39] And I saw that old John Joseph would tell stories no more

[00:02:46] The scene at the graveyard three of us were there

[00:02:50] Me and the grave digger heard the parson's prayer

[00:02:55] He said we need not grieve for this man

[00:03:00] For we know that god cares

[00:03:09] They put the cold dirt over him left me on my own

[00:03:14] When at last I looked up I saw I was not alone

[00:03:19] So I said if you're a relative he had a peaceful end

[00:03:24] That's when she said my name is Corey

[00:03:31] You can say I'm just a friend

[00:03:38] Corey's coming no more sad stories coming

[00:03:46] My midnight moonlight morning glory's coming aren't you girl

[00:03:57] And like I told you when she holds you

[00:04:05] She enfolds you in her world

[00:04:22] So that's the old man's story I'm glad you came tonight

[00:04:26] You see a busted down old railroad yard sure makes a lonely sight

[00:04:32] You may wonder why a young man would work out here alone

[00:04:37] Well the job pays enough to keep some flesh on my bones

[00:04:42] And I confess I get to missing the old man a bit

[00:04:47] And there's one other reason I guess I should admit

[00:04:54] Can't you see my Corey's coming no more sad stories coming

[00:05:00] My midnight moonlight morning glory's coming aren't you girl

[00:05:07] And like he told me when she holds me

[00:05:15] She enfolds me in her world
