《A Night This Side Of Dying(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:01] A Night This Side Of Dying(Alb—Carole King

[00:00:17] I remember one young sister with rainbows in her eyes

[00:00:25] Standing on a corner with the afternoon's supply

[00:00:34] She spoke of other places, perhaps a better road

[00:00:42] Then she asked if I could tell her where they kept the mother lode

[00:00:51] Like a night this side of dying

[00:00:55] Her day's inside the dropper on the shelf

[00:01:03] When she hears her lifeline crying

[00:01:07] Not a thing you say can stop her

[00:01:12] When she just can't stop herself

[00:01:31] I remember that July, the panic and the heat

[00:01:39] The savage shine of summer, the strychnine in the street

[00:01:47] The way they sold each other for a favor in glassine

[00:01:55] The best of friends sold brothers for a dime of quinine dreams

[00:02:03] Like a night this side of dying

[00:02:07] Her day's inside the dropper on the shelf

[00:02:16] Like the shelter she's been buying

[00:02:20] Not a thing I've got can save her

[00:02:24] When she just can't save herself

[00:02:31] She just can't save herself
