Song | The House You Live In |
Artist | Gordon Lightfoot |
Album | Summertime Dream |
作词 : Lightfoot | |
Go first in the world, go forth with your fears | |
Remember a price must be paid | |
Be always too soon, be never too fast | |
At the time when all bets must be laid | |
Beware of the darkness, be kind to your children | |
Remember the woman who waits | |
And the house you live in will never fall down | |
If you pity the stranger who stands at your gate | |
When you're caught by the gale and you're full under sail | |
Beware of the dangers below | |
And the song that you sing should not be too sad | |
And be sure not to sing it too slow | |
Be calm in the face of all common disgraces | |
And know what they're doin' it for | |
And the house you live in will never fall down | |
If you pity the stranger who stands at your door | |
When you're out on the road and feelin' quite lost | |
Consider the burden of fame | |
And he who is wise will not criticize | |
When other men fail at the game | |
Beware of strange faces and dark dingy places | |
Be careful while bending the law | |
And the house you live in will never fall down | |
If you pity the stranger who stands at your door | |
When you're down in the dumps and not ready to deal | |
Decide what it is that you need | |
Is it money or love, is it learnin' to live | |
Or is it the mouth you must feed | |
Be known as a man who will always be candid | |
On questions that do not relate | |
And the house you live in will never fall down | |
If you pity the stranger who stands at your gate | |
And the house you live in will never fall down | |
If you pity the stranger who stands at your gate |
