《Hope Road》歌词

[00:00:00] Hope Road - Anne Clark (阿内·克拉克)

[00:01:02] So these are circumstances

[00:01:03] Leading to my sorry tale

[00:01:05] I was in a town I didn't know

[00:01:07] I'd arrieved there by rail

[00:01:09] It all began a week befere

[00:01:11] The joys of Saturday night

[00:01:13] An invite to a party

[00:01:15] Or watching the price is right

[00:01:18] Opting for a soiree

[00:01:19] For the first time in a year

[00:01:21] Mixed badly with the revellers

[00:01:23] Mixed Bacardi wine and beer

[00:01:25] The room moved back and forwards

[00:01:27] The dancers did the same

[00:01:30] Found refuge in a corner

[00:01:31] That's when he asked my name

[00:01:46] Well this is very nice I thought

[00:01:48] Smiling through the haze

[00:01:50] As we talked of auguste rodin

[00:01:51] Through to Harold Pinter's plays

[00:01:54] Said he played piano

[00:01:56] Said his name was Steve

[00:02:00] Why shouldn't I believe

[00:02:02] That he really lived so far away

[00:02:04] Had to make a move for home

[00:02:06] Scribbled down his address

[00:02:08] Said he didn't have a phone

[00:02:10] Would I like to come to dinner

[00:02:12] On Friday of next week

[00:02:14] To this I said I'd love to

[00:02:16] As he kissed me on the cheek

[00:02:30] That night I felt so happy

[00:02:32] Excited through and through

[00:02:34] See the company of strangers

[00:02:36] Doesn't always leave you blue

[00:02:38] Stumbled home contented

[00:02:40] Like a cat that got the cream

[00:02:42] Wake up a little weary

[00:02:44] But I knew it was no dream

[00:02:46] The next few days were auyiouns

[00:02:48] What could I find towaer

[00:02:50] What happens if I arrive

[00:02:52] And there is no hope road there

[00:02:54] My friend said don't ba silly

[00:02:56] No one does things like that

[00:02:58] Now will you get a move on

[00:03:00] And take off that stupid hat

[00:03:14] Made sure I set out early

[00:03:16] Made sure I caught the train

[00:03:18] Got out at the right station

[00:03:20] Then of course came down the rain

[00:03:22] Followed the directions

[00:03:24] Excactly as he said

[00:03:26] Asked people if they new hope road

[00:03:28] But they just walked on ahead

[00:03:30] I turned left at the junction

[00:03:32] Took the fork off to the right

[00:03:34] Straight over at the crossroads

[00:03:36] Then down to the traffic lights

[00:03:38] Must have walked those streets for hours

[00:03:40] In the dark and in the cold

[00:03:42] Before I really could accept

[00:03:45] There was no place called hope road

[00:03:59] So here I am alone again

[00:04:01] Indoors by myself

[00:04:03] The TV plants books and I

[00:04:05] All nearly on the shelf

[00:04:07] Next time I'll be more cautions

[00:04:09] Next time I won't be fooled

[00:04:11] It's another of those basic things

[00:04:13] You're never taught at school

[00:04:15] Let this be a warning

[00:04:17] As you wander through the world

[00:04:19] It makes no difference who you are

[00:04:21] Be you boy or be you girl

[00:04:23] Be very very careful

[00:04:25] When people seems so nice

[00:04:27] It's not how that it's expensive

[00:04:29] Later on you pay the price

[00:04:33] There's no hope road
