作词 : Henry | |
The carriage horses stamp and fume | |
Until all color's gone | |
They leave the street in black and white | |
And bring the evening coming on | |
Lovers tug their way out of gloves | |
Out of shoes, and gray chiffon | |
The driver pulls his blanket high | |
And pretends to look beyond | |
Oh, pray for you, pray for me | |
Sing it like a song | |
Life is short but, by the grace of God | |
This night is long | |
Girls crowd into bathroom stalls | |
The boys smoke in their cars | |
The general, he's in civilian clothes | |
Standing at the bar | |
He waves at the deaf flower lady | |
"Come sit by me, sweetheart" | |
He draws a napkin battle plan | |
Says, "this is where we start" | |
Oh pray for you, pray for me | |
Sing it like a song | |
Life is sort but, by the grace of God | |
This night is long | |
There are no more hummingbirds | |
Like there used to be | |
They're fat and slow and careless now | |
They've turned blue and mean | |
And the parrots sound like monkeys | |
Screaming from the trees | |
As the decent people | |
Fumble for their keys | |
We used to spend the night in town | |
Down by city hall | |
And the water works of Irish Beach | |
Just below the falls | |
We'd walk down to the Park Hotel | |
Past the Baptist Veteran's Mall | |
Back then, a man in uniform | |
Might mean anything at all | |
Oh, pray for you, pray for me | |
Sing it like a song | |
Life is short but, by the grace or cruel heart of God | |
The night is long |
