《Casey’s Last Ride》歌词

[00:00:00] Casey's Last Ride (Live) - Steve Hofmeyr

[00:00:13] Casey joins the hollow sound of silent people walking down

[00:00:18] The stairway to the subway in the shadows down below

[00:00:25] Following their footsteps through the neon darkened corridors

[00:00:30] Of silent desperation never speaking to a soul

[00:00:38] The poison air he's breathing has the dirty smell of dying

[00:00:44] 'Cause it's never seen the sunshine and it's never felt the rain

[00:00:51] Casey minds the arrows and ignores the fatal echoes

[00:00:56] Of the clicking of the turnstiles and the rattle of his chains

[00:01:08] Oh she said Casey it's been so long since I've seen you

[00:01:16] Here she said just a kiss to make a body smile

[00:01:24] See she said I've put on new stockings just to please you

[00:01:32] Lord she said Casey can you only stay a while

[00:01:46] Casey leaves the under ground and stops inside the golden crown

[00:01:52] For something wet to wipe away the chill that's on his bones

[00:01:58] Seeing his reflection in the lives of all the lonely men

[00:02:03] Who reach for anything they can to keep from going home

[00:02:11] Standing in the corner Casey drinks his pint of bitter

[00:02:17] Never looking in the mirror at the people passing by

[00:02:24] Then he stumbles as he's leaving and he wonders if the reason

[00:02:29] Is the beer that's in his belly for the tear that's in his eye

[00:02:41] Oh she said I suppose you seldom think about me

[00:02:49] Now she said now that you've a family of your own

[00:02:57] See she said it's so blessed good to feel your body

[00:03:05] Lord she said Casey it's a shame to be alone
