作曲 : Cantrell | |
I went for a walk in my old downtown | |
To the top of the hill and I turned around | |
Train yard's not what it used to be | |
The station's still standing by the factories | |
Wendell's serving up the meat and three | |
The tower lights read L & C | |
Stood by the stone for the president | |
Saw the bullet holes where the armies met | |
Walked for a while with the suffragettes | |
You know mama's still growing those roses yet | |
Heard the echo of Bryan in the old court case | |
And I thought as I walked about love and hate | |
Passed a soldier boy with a gun of bronze | |
Made a film of his life said he had a cause | |
Didn't want to kill didn't want to die | |
Felt the lightening flash took it as a sign | |
That god is love and jesus saves | |
And our soldier does participate | |
Alvin came to New York with his fortune made | |
And he walked for a mile in the ticker tape | |
The mayor smiled while Alvin prayed | |
"Sir I'd like to ride that subway train" | |
Shimmers on film like a summer day | |
Silver black and white, watch it fade away… | |
I left this place at a tender age | |
In the family book you know I turned the page | |
Never could describe all the energy | |
Wakes me up at night with the memory | |
Mama don't you call me I'm good as gone | |
You know your daughter loves you but she heard this song | |
Church bells ringing in the old downtowns | |
Ancient sadness tumbles down | |
The heavy veil of tragedy | |
Makes it hard to breathe, hard to see | |
You can trace these scars along the ground | |
When you're out for a walk in your old downtown | |
I went for a walk in my old downtown… |
