《The Way It Used To Be》歌词

[00:00:00] The Way It Used To Be (一如往昔) - City and Colour (城市与色彩乐团)

[00:00:23] This is the story of a man

[00:00:28] Who took for granted everything he had

[00:00:33] How he let it all just slip away

[00:00:38] Never to return again

[00:00:43] Now 20 years have come and gone

[00:00:48] And still he wonders what he did so wrong

[00:00:53] And how that he can win back her heart

[00:00:58] And finally step outside of the dark

[00:01:03] He buys fresh roses every day

[00:01:08] Her favorite flowers so she used to say

[00:01:13] And now the memories are all that he has left

[00:01:18] And friends to drink himself to death

[00:01:22] This is the story of a man(This is the story of a man)

[00:01:28] Who took for granted everything he had(everything he had)

[00:01:33] How he let it all just slip away(he let it slip away)

[00:01:38] Never to return again(to return again)

[00:02:02] It´s clear she´s moved on long ago

[00:02:07] And he still clings on to a distant hope

[00:02:12] That she´ll come back and make her happy home

[00:02:18] For now it´s him and the bottle all alone

[00:02:22] Sometimes you´ll see him in the yard

[00:02:27] A wounded man with a desperate heart

[00:02:32] He keeps the hedges trimmed nice and neat

[00:02:37] But keeps them lower than they used to be

[00:02:42] This is the story of a man (This is the story of a man)

[00:02:47] Who took for granted everything he had (everything he had)

[00:02:52] How he let it all just slip away (he let it slip away)

[00:02:57] Never to return again (to return again)

[00:03:22] The single dress hangs on it's own

[00:03:27] The scent of perfume of he has to hold

[00:03:32] A wasted life waiting on a dream

[00:03:37] Hoping for things the way they used to be

[00:03:42] This is the story of a man (This is the story of a man)

[00:03:47] Who took for granted everything he had (everything he had)

[00:03:52] How he let it all just slip away (he let it slip away)

[00:03:57] Never to return again (to return again)
