《American Wake》歌词

[00:00:00] American Wake - Black 47

[00:00:01] Open up the door she's standin' there

[00:00:05] With the smile in her eyes but the gray in her hair

[00:00:09] Betrays the fact you strayed far from home

[00:00:13] With your drinkin' your smokin' you're whorin' around

[00:00:19] Sit down by the fire put your feet on the grate

[00:00:23] Spend the night reminiscin' 'til the hour grows late

[00:00:28] Always remember at the end of the day

[00:00:32] You can always go home you just can't stay

[00:00:53] Then it's off to the pub for to see your old mates

[00:00:57] Ah they all look older but nothin' has changed

[00:01:01] And you drink 'til you're nearly out of your head

[00:01:05] Hey what are yez all doin' snakin' off to bed

[00:01:11] Then you're outside her flat but she's no longer there

[00:01:16] The tears scald your eyes as you think of her hair

[00:01:20] In the photo they sent you of her wedding day

[00:01:24] You can always go home you just can't stay

[00:01:45] Then you see her at Mass with the kids at her side

[00:01:49] And it all comes back in the blink of an eye

[00:01:54] The tears and the laughter the love and the lies

[00:01:57] And that dress she wore the night you said Goodbye

[00:02:04] Then her husband says "It's good to have you back"

[00:02:08] And she smiles for a moment and squeezes your hand

[00:02:12] But you know what she's thinkin' she doesn't have to say

[00:02:16] You can always go home you just can't stay

[00:02:29] And you swear to yourself time and time again

[00:02:33] It was all in the past she don't mean anything

[00:02:37] Now your life is full of laughter and bars

[00:02:42] What did you leave behind just the sun the moon and the stars

[00:03:07] Then it's up in the mornin' at the crack of dawn

[00:03:11] With your stomach churnin' she says "Come on now Sean

[00:03:15] You'll be late for the plane" but that crack in her voice

[00:03:19] Betrays the fact that you made your choice

[00:03:26] A long time ago now there's no turnin' back

[00:03:30] 'Cause last night you had your American wake

[00:03:34] And the bells are still ringin' can't you hear what they say

[00:03:38] You can always go home you just can't stay

[00:04:00] Say goodbye say goodbye say goodbye

[00:04:05] In the wind the river and the pourin' rain

[00:04:16] One last drink one last drink one last drink

[00:04:21] At Shannon Airport then we're outa here

[00:04:25] History around here catch you again next year

[00:04:33] Landin' at Kennedy landin' at Kennedy landin' at Kennedy

[00:04:38] All you feel is the pain

[00:04:41] But it's too late it's too late 'cause last night you had

[00:04:46] You had your American wake
