《To Absent Friends》歌词

[00:00:01] Lunchtime Friday leave work early

[00:00:03] Rushing through the suburbs to the station

[00:00:05] To catch the train

[00:00:06] Heading up to town to Dave's to get my glad rags on

[00:00:09] Because lately I've been running down

[00:00:12] Little things catching up

[00:00:14] Excuses stretched thin and it's hard not giving up

[00:00:16] Tonight we're going to get it right

[00:00:18] We're going to have us a good one

[00:00:22] And the roll call is missing a name

[00:00:24] Since you left things haven't been the same

[00:00:27] But I don't blame you there was nothing here to make you stay

[00:00:32] But I remember the way that you'd

[00:00:34] Light up a room when you walk in

[00:00:36] The way that you'd lead a crowd when you sing

[00:00:39] Jamie this one is for you

[00:00:54] Pre-club beers at Dan's before we hit the road

[00:00:57] Nicely warmed up pleasantly half-loaded

[00:00:58] Ready for a night on fire

[00:01:00] We're going to get out the big guns

[00:01:04] And I run down the numbers scan through the faces

[00:01:06] Run through the plans scout out the places

[00:01:09] I'm electrified surrounded

[00:01:11] But still missing something or someone

[00:01:53] I'm wide awake in the cityscape

[00:01:54] You did your time out on the road

[00:01:56] One day you stayed away for good

[00:01:58] You found a home down by the shore

[00:02:00] A place to hang your hat and more

[00:02:03] You sent me postcards to tell me of

[00:02:06] Slowing down and finding love

[00:02:08] The thrill has gone from the city life

[00:02:11] I'm not far behind

[00:02:13] So you can strike my name from the roll call

[00:02:17] When night falls I'm leaving

[00:02:20] There is nothing here to make me stay

[00:02:23] When I get to the coast I will send back a postcard

[00:02:27] To tell all my old friends all about my new start

[00:02:30] Jamie I will see you soon
