Song | 10 Degrees & Getting Colder |
Artist | Gordon Lightfoot |
Album | Summer Side of Life |
作词 : Lightfoot | |
He was standin' by the highway | |
With a sign that just said 'mother' | |
When he heard a driver comin' | |
'bout a half a mile away | |
Then he held the sign up higher | |
Where no decent soul could miss it | |
It was ten degrees or colder | |
Down by bolder dam that day | |
He was raised up in milwaukee | |
Though he never was that famous | |
He was just a road musician | |
To the taverns he would go | |
Singin' songs about the ramblin' | |
The lovin' girls and gamblin' | |
How the world fell on his shoulders | |
Back in boulder i don't know | |
It was out in arizona | |
That he heard the lady listenin' | |
To each word that he was sayin' | |
To each line that he would write | |
So he sat down by her table and | |
They talked about the weather | |
Ninety-eight point six and risin' | |
Down by boulder dam that day | |
And she told him she would take him | |
For a ride in the mornin' sun | |
Back in boulder he had told her | |
'i don't know when i had a better friend' | |
Now he's traded off his martin | |
But his troubles are not over | |
For his feet are almost frozen | |
And the sun is sinkin' low | |
Won't you listen to me brother | |
If you ever loved your mother | |
Please pull off on the shoulder | |
If you're goin' milwaukee way | |
It's ten degrees and getting colder | |
Down by boulder dam today |
