《The Last Time I Saw William》歌词

[00:00:02] The Last Time I Saw William－Alannah Myles

[00:00:19] The last time I saw William

[00:00:23] He was as good as gone

[00:00:28] He'd packed up all his poetry and his hurtin' songs

[00:00:36] Well they say that he died but the papers lied

[00:00:40] About our long lost favorite song

[00:00:45] The last time I saw William

[00:00:49] He was all undone

[00:01:02] He'd lost his bag of thunder and his brave disguise

[00:01:11] He was trying to find

[00:01:12] Some kind of peace of mind with brand new eyes

[00:01:19] But it all came back in shades of black

[00:01:23] Like a past that's just begun

[00:01:27] And the last time I saw William

[00:01:32] He was a man on the run

[00:01:35] Oh he said it's better to fly

[00:01:42] Than to hold on to shaky ground

[00:01:46] It's better to the let feelings die

[00:01:52] When they're holding you down

[00:01:53] I saw a long line of loneliness

[00:01:58] In the corner of his eye

[00:02:05] But I never did see William cry

[00:02:17] Now the years run down the boulevard

[00:02:22] And the marquee is long gone

[00:02:26] There's a troubadour in an empty bar

[00:02:30] Playin' hurtin' songs

[00:02:34] All the gold and praise from the glory days

[00:02:39] Cannot save our souls tonight

[00:02:43] And the last time that I saw William

[00:02:47] He was walking away walking away from the light

[00:02:53] It's better to fly than to hold on to shaky ground

[00:03:02] It's better to let the feelings die

[00:03:07] When they're holding you down

[00:03:09] I saw a long line of loneliness

[00:03:13] In the corner of his eye

[00:03:20] But I never did see William cry

[00:03:46] The last time I saw William he was all undone
