《The Days of Pearly Spencer》歌词

[00:00:00] The Days of Pearly Spencer (珀利·斯宾塞的日子) - David McWilliams

[00:00:20] A tenement a dirty street

[00:00:24] Walked and worn by shoeless feet

[00:00:28] Inside it's long and so complete

[00:00:33] Watched by a shivering sun

[00:00:40] Old eyes in a small child's face

[00:00:45] Watching as the shadows race

[00:00:49] Through walls and cracks and leave no trace

[00:00:54] And daylight's brightness shuns

[00:01:07] The days of pearly spencer

[00:01:26] The race is almost run

[00:01:38] Nose pressed hard on frosted glass

[00:01:43] Gazing as the swollen mass

[00:01:47] On concrete fields where grows no grass

[00:01:52] Stumbles blindly on

[00:01:59] Iron trees smother the air

[00:02:04] But withering they stand and stare

[00:02:08] Through eyes that neither know nor care

[00:02:13] Where the grass is gone

[00:02:26] The days of pearly spencer

[00:02:44] The race is almost run

[00:02:57] Pearly where's your milk white skin

[00:03:01] What's that stubble on your chin

[00:03:06] It's buried in the rot-gut gin

[00:03:09] You played and lost not won

[00:03:17] You played a house that can't be beat

[00:03:21] Now look your head's bowed in defeat

[00:03:26] You walked too far along the street

[00:03:31] Where only rats can run

[00:03:44] The days of pearly spencer

[00:04:03] The race is almost run

[00:04:22] The days of pearly spencer

[00:04:40] The race is almost run
