《In Northern California ( Where The Palm Tree Meets The Pine)》歌词

[00:00:00] In Northern California ( Where The Palm Tree Meets The Pine) - Danny O'Keefe (丹尼·欧基夫)

[00:00:07] Well it was closin' time tryin' to beat the clock

[00:00:12] And waitin' for a woman as fast as her talk

[00:00:18] When up limped a crippled woman

[00:00:23] I'm a little slick

[00:00:26] She said

[00:00:26] There's only two kinds in the end of it

[00:00:30] The dead of course and the quick

[00:00:34] And the dead of course stand naked

[00:00:38] With their backs against the wall

[00:00:42] Now there's two ways

[00:00:43] You can have it son she said

[00:00:46] Mine or not at all

[00:00:52] She'd thrown away her crutches

[00:00:56] But I knew that I'd need mine

[00:01:01] In northern California

[00:01:04] Where the palm tree meets the pine

[00:01:11] She was a much older woman

[00:01:15] You can always tell by the shoes

[00:01:19] She dealt in fools and gamblers

[00:01:23] And boys who made the news

[00:01:29] Her body smelled like roses look

[00:01:32] Her nails were sharp and long

[00:01:36] Her heart she said was an open book

[00:01:40] And on every page a song

[00:01:46] So I helped her with her braces

[00:01:49] Said the pleasure was all mine man

[00:01:56] In northern California

[00:01:59] Where the palm tree meets the pine

[00:02:02] Up in northern California

[00:02:06] Where the palm tree meets the pine

[00:02:13] Like all of us she had her dreams

[00:02:16] Not the least was true romance

[00:02:20] But I knew I'd lost the handle

[00:02:24] When she softly sighed

[00:02:26] Let's dance

[00:02:30] She love me like she knew I was

[00:02:34] An outlay on the run

[00:02:38] And in the morning when I woke

[00:02:42] I was the crippled one

[00:02:47] So I left her as I found her

[00:02:51] Right in the nick of time

[00:02:57] In northern California

[00:03:00] Where the palm tree meets the pine

[00:03:04] Yup in northern California

[00:03:08] Where the palm tree meets the pine
