《The Late Great Johnny Ace》歌词

[00:00:00] The Late Great Johnny Ace - Paul Simon

[00:00:15] I was reading a magazine

[00:00:18] And thinking of a rock and roll song

[00:00:21] The year was 1954

[00:00:25] And I hadh't been playing that long

[00:00:28] When a man came on the radio

[00:00:33] And this is what he said

[00:00:38] He said I hate to break it

[00:00:40] To his fans

[00:00:42] But Johnny Ace is dead

[00:00:52] Well I really wasn't

[00:00:54] Such a Johnny Ace fan

[00:00:56] But I felt bad all the same

[00:00:58] So I sent away for his photograph

[00:01:02] And I waited till it came

[00:01:05] It came all the way from Texas

[00:01:10] With a sad and simple face

[00:01:15] And they signed it on the bottom

[00:01:19] From the Late Great Johnny Ace

[00:01:48] It was the year of The Beatles

[00:01:50] It was the year of The Stones

[00:01:53] It was 1964

[00:02:00] I was living in London

[00:02:03] With the girl from the summer before

[00:02:11] It was the year of The Beatles

[00:02:13] It was the year of The Stones

[00:02:16] A year after J F K

[00:02:23] We were staying up all night

[00:02:26] And giving the days away

[00:02:35] And the music was flowing

[00:02:39] Amazing

[00:02:40] And blowing my way

[00:02:57] On a cold December evening

[00:03:00] I was walking through the Christmas tide

[00:03:04] When a stranger came up and asked me

[00:03:07] If I'd heard John Lennon had died

[00:03:11] And the two of us

[00:03:12] Went to this bar

[00:03:15] And we stayed to close the place

[00:03:21] And every song we played

[00:03:23] Was for The Late Great Johnny Ace
