《Some Bartenders Have The Gift Of Pardon》歌词

[00:00:00] Some Bartenders Have The Gift Of Pardon - Mark Eitzel (马克·艾扎)

[00:00:29] Spec's almost drowned off the coast of California

[00:00:36] And started this museum

[00:00:39] To help the shipwrecked remember

[00:00:43] They grow quiet

[00:00:47] The sea grows colder

[00:00:51] Drinking the night away

[00:00:54] Burn bridges grow older

[00:00:58] Kent worked at Spec's since 1970

[00:01:05] Right after Haight Street finally choked on its own vomit

[00:01:12] An impartial smile made him a gentleman

[00:01:21] Some bartenders have the gift of pardon

[00:01:42] A bar has a longer history than a country

[00:01:49] What keeps the moon chained

[00:01:52] Are ridiculous acts of faith

[00:01:56] And after a couple of drinks

[00:01:59] Visionary eyes all burn

[00:02:04] The drunks seem saint-like

[00:02:07] In their disillusion

[00:02:11] Kent always knew the serious nature of a smile

[00:02:18] Knew the serious nature of the job he was given

[00:02:25] Never told himself there's only so much a man could take on

[00:02:33] Some bartenders have the gift of pardon

[00:03:11] With the same old tape wearing out in the background

[00:03:17] Billie Holiday "Solitude"

[00:03:20] Or some sad old Irish folk songs

[00:03:24] You're not promised the moon

[00:03:27] Or lied to by its distractions

[00:03:31] You enter the world alone

[00:03:34] And that's the first and the last thing

[00:03:38] It seems one night he was having a hard time falling asleep

[00:03:46] And found himself in an accidental shipwreck

[00:03:53] Dreaming he's still at the bar counting sheep

[00:04:00] The cold ocean threw its chains around his neck

[00:04:16] Never have to worry about counterfeits at 2 a m

[00:04:23] 'Cause that's all there is

[00:04:26] 'Cause that's all there is

[00:04:29] Just some old poets drinking

[00:04:33] The last nightmare in

[00:04:37] And the comfort of the dark

[00:04:40] And being forgotten

[00:04:45] Some bartenders have the gift of pardon

[00:04:52] Some bartenders have the gift of pardon
