作词 : Henry | |
She stands and unfurls her | |
Clean bed clothes by the door | |
Like a barber shakes all that falls | |
From your shoulders to the floor; | |
And I find a letter I’d once written | |
Half buried in her drawer | |
And I wonder how I’ve come to know | |
So much less than I knew before. | |
All over town, they’re lining up to watch | |
As the carnival goes by, | |
And tomorrow they’ll be sweeping up the streets | |
And the last furloughed G.I.s; | |
But by the early evening, | |
You’ll wonder how it is and so will I | |
That we ever let another Tuesday afternoon | |
Come and pass us by. | |
But I’m best to believe | |
No more than I can carry when I leave, | |
And I’ll be fearing nothing save good luck. | |
Somebody’s burning something | |
I can see the smoke from here | |
Rising just above the hill and falling | |
Like one last futile cheer; | |
If I would’ve known the way it goes l’d’ve been the first to volunteer | |
To climb up in the trees before aIl the ground around me disappeared. | |
But I’m best to believe | |
No more than I can carry when I leave, | |
And I’ll be fearing nothing save good luck. | |
But I’m best to believe | |
No more than I can carry when I leave, | |
And I’ll be fearing nothing save good luck. |

Clean bed clothes by the door | |
Like a barber shakes all that falls | |
From your shoulders to the floor | |
And I find a letter I' d once written | |
Half buried in her drawer | |
And I wonder how I' ve come to know | |
So much less than I knew before. | |
All over town, they' re lining up to watch | |
As the carnival goes by, | |
And tomorrow they' ll be sweeping up the streets | |
And the last furloughed G. I. s | |
But by the early evening, | |
You' ll wonder how it is and so will I | |
That we ever let another Tuesday afternoon | |
Come and pass us by. | |
But I' m best to believe | |
No more than I can carry when I leave, | |
And I' ll be fearing nothing save good luck. | |
Somebody' s burning something | |
I can see the smoke from here | |
Rising just above the hill and falling | |
Like one last futile cheer | |
If I would' ve known the way it goes l' d' ve been the first to volunteer | |
To climb up in the trees before aIl the ground around me disappeared. | |
