[00:01.36]Lady on the other side of town
[00:06.95]---齐豫---
[00:16.16]
[00:20.25]All his friends would go to
[00:21.50]movies on Friday nights
[00:24.19]They'd be drinking beer
[00:25.32]and acting like clowns
[00:28.26]But he would go to see a lady
[00:31.93]on the other side of town
[00:39.74]She lived just a block away from Blue Street
[00:43.81]Near the cemetery grounds
[00:47.68]In a two story house by the river
[00:51.66]On the other side of town (chorus)
[00:59.38]And the lady on the other side of town
[01:06.91]Never tried to make him cry or put him down
[01:15.11]And today he wished the lady could be found
[01:22.94]On the other side of town
[01:31.09]She was 34 and he was 19
[01:34.90]It was a social oddity
[01:39.23]But nobody knew save the cat and the wind
[01:43.12]That an older woman loved him
[01:50.74]They'd play Joni Mitchell records for hours
[01:54.56]Smoking cigarettes and watching TV
[01:58.68]On a mattress on the floor by the window
[02:02.74]Where she made love to him (chorus)
[02:10.20]And the lady on the other side of town
[02:17.76]Never tried to make him cry or put him down
[02:25.79]And today he wished the lady could be found
[02:33.55]On the other side of town
[02:42.86]" I'll make you some tea,"
[02:46.83]the lady would say
[02:50.74]" If you would play piano for me "
[02:57.78]Music......
[03:12.99]And the lady missed her husband
[03:17.01]She talked of her divorce all the time
[03:21.14]Oh, she missed her lover
[03:24.76]And her was missing his
[03:32.34]Cause his lover was an actress
[03:35.94]She made him promises and let him down
[03:39.90]So he had to find his love from a lady
[03:44.07]On the other side of town (chorus)
[03:51.48]And the lady on the other side of town
[03:58.90]Never tried to make him cry or put him down
[04:06.94]And today he wished the lady could be found
[04:14.74]On the other side of town
[04:23.14]The cold icy beam of the moonlight
[04:26.69]Cast its shadows on their bodies that danced
[04:30.54]And he noticed that the lady had fallen asleep
[04:34.91]So he slipped on his pants
[04:42.54]And he wrote her a note on hte table
[04:46.42]Then he put the pencil down
[04:50.22]Said that he was gonna leave the lady
[04:54.22]On the other side of town (chorus)
[05:01.94]And the lady on the other side of town
[05:09.44]Never tried to make him cry or put him down
[05:17.51]And today he wished the lady could be found
[05:25.39]On the other side of town
[05:33.42]As he closed the gate behind him
[05:37.61]The tears welled up in her eyes
[05:41.13]With the note in her hand at the window
[05:45.05]She was sadly waving good-bye
[05:52.89]Well he never knew how much that he loved her
[05:56.76]And the thought never did occur
[06:00.79]The someday he'd be somewhere far away
[06:04.94]And still be thinking of her
[06:12.54]And still be thinking of her
[06:20.57]
[06:24.05]And the lady on the other side of town
[06:31.42]Never tried to make him cry or put him down
[06:39.64]And today he wished the lady could be found
[06:47.32]On the other side
[06:51.26]On the other side
[06:55.18]On the other side of town
