《Taxi》歌词

[00:00:00] Taxi [In the Style of Harry Chapin

[00:00:12] It was raining hard in 'Frisco

[00:00:16] I needed one more fare to make my night

[00:00:21] A lady up ahead waved to flag me down

[00:00:25] She got in at the lights

[00:00:31] "Oh where you going to my lady blue "

[00:00:35] It's a shame you ruined your gown in the rain

[00:00:41] She just looked out the window she said

[00:00:45] "Sixteen Park side Lane"

[00:00:59] Something about her was familiar

[00:01:03] I could swear I'd seen her face before

[00:01:07] But she said "I'm sure you're mistaken"

[00:01:11] Then she didn't say anything more

[00:01:17] It took a while but she looked in the mirror

[00:01:21] Then she glanced at the license for my name

[00:01:26] A smile seemed to come to her slowly

[00:01:29] It was a sad smile just the same

[00:01:36] And she said "How are you Harry "

[00:01:40] I said "How are you Sue

[00:01:44] Through the too many miles and the too little smiles

[00:01:49] I still remember you"

[00:02:11] It was somewhere in a fairy tale

[00:02:15] I used to take her home in my car

[00:02:19] We learned about love in the back of a Dodge

[00:02:23] The lesson hadn't gone too far

[00:02:29] You see she was gonna be an actress

[00:02:34] And I was gonna learn to fly

[00:02:38] She took off to find the footlights

[00:02:42] I took off to find the sky

[00:02:58] Oh I've got something inside me

[00:03:03] To drive a princess blind

[00:03:06] There's a wild man wizard

[00:03:10] He's hiding in me illuminating my mind

[00:03:18] Oh I've got something inside me

[00:03:23] But it's not what my life's about

[00:03:26] 'Cause I've been letting my outside tide me

[00:03:32] Over till my time runs out

[00:03:53] Baby's so high that she's skying

[00:04:00] Yes she's flying afraid to fall

[00:04:09] I'll tell you why baby's crying

[00:04:16] She's dying aren't we all

[00:04:31] There was not much more for us to talk about

[00:04:35] Whatever we had once was gone

[00:04:39] So I turned my cab into the driveway

[00:04:43] Past the gates and the fine trimmed lawns

[00:04:49] And she said "We must get together"

[00:04:53] But I knew it'd never be arranged

[00:04:57] Then she handed me twenty dollars for a two-fifty fare

[00:05:01] She said "Harry keep the change"

[00:05:08] Well another man might have been angry

[00:05:12] And another man might have been hurt

[00:05:16] But another man never would have let her go

[00:05:21] I stashed the bill in my shirt

[00:05:26] And she walked away in silence

[00:05:31] It's strange how you never know

[00:05:35] But we'd both gotten what we'd asked for

[00:05:39] Such a long long time ago

[00:05:47] You see she was gonna be an actress

[00:05:51] And I was gonna learn to fly

[00:05:56] She took off to find the footlights

[00:06:00] And I took off for the sky

[00:06:06] And here she's acting happy

[00:06:10] Inside her handsome home

[00:06:14] And me I'm flying in my taxi

[00:06:18] Taking tips getting stoned

[00:06:24] I go flying so high when I'm stoned
