作词 : Morrissey
I remember his frightened eyes
And his mouth so quick to mock
Listening late at night
Surprised by his soft Midwestern talk
In the corner of the cafe
As dark as an eclipse
He tried to smile
But his cheek lines put parentheses around his lips
Walk down Grand Street
The wind would blow us round and round
And all his talk was incomplete
So I just listened to the sound
He could never see my heart
It was a blur back then
But it's true I was the prettiest girl in New York
When I walked down the street with him
We were walking, sort of dancing
Up on the rooftop real slow
Quietly waiting to get stung by Lester Young over that tiny radio
There were so many women in his eyes
I knew he never could be mine
But everyone must die alone
And that's just how some men will always walk the line
It was out at the newsstand
The corner of MacDougal and West Third
He took back his hand and said goodbye
To this day I pretend I never heard
Let the years roll away
Let the seasons disappear
And if I seem to be okay
I'm just thinking of the time I held him near
