《1340 Chesapeake St.》歌词

[00:00:00] 1340 Chesapeake St. - Devon Sproule

[00:00:18] The bruise on my knee is almost gone

[00:00:20] Honey's flown to Madison

[00:00:22] Phyllis starts a watercolour

[00:00:24] Gutters flood a spread umbrella

[00:00:26] The burner's up

[00:00:27] The flame is high

[00:00:28] The water's gone

[00:00:29] The pot is dry

[00:00:30] But there's a basement full of wine

[00:00:32] And nights to remember

[00:00:34] Of a slow talk had up a sidewalk

[00:00:37] Taking its time

[00:00:41] Walking up Chesapeake

[00:00:44] Our white house on the right

[00:00:49] Next door they're throwing junk away

[00:00:51] Furniture out in the rain

[00:00:53] They've finally put the old lady away

[00:00:55] So I took her silverware

[00:00:58] Her books and her kitchen mop

[00:00:59] Her hangers and her pans and pots

[00:01:01] The dressers where she kept her clothes

[00:01:04] It looked as though she lived alone

[00:01:07] Much to hear while our four ears are still young

[00:01:15] If we shout it right we'll have more years yet to come

[00:01:23] Tonight the moon will turn around

[00:01:25] All the way back behind the clouds

[00:01:27] Folks will lower their telescopes

[00:01:29] Drive their wives and kids back home

[00:01:31] Their eyes will block with mud and milk

[00:01:33] Their eyes inside with blindness filled

[00:01:35] And the moon will hide and seek until

[00:01:37] There's no one left to wonder why

[00:01:39] Hey why hey why

[00:02:29] The rug will soak

[00:02:30] The screen will glare

[00:02:31] You'll come and summer will be here

[00:02:33] We'll kiss and cross the swamp

[00:02:35] The boat will wait down at the bottom

[00:02:37] The sun will set late in the day

[00:02:38] The sun will take its face away

[00:02:40] But my love

[00:02:41] Your face will always stay right beside mine
