North And South
(专辑: North And South - 1988)
I
was born a
poor man's son, and following tradition When I
came of age I
hit the
road, and followed blind ambition I
served my time and payed my dues, now I'm sitting pretty Sleeping in a
feather bed high above this city. It's four in the
morning, and I'm sitting here still thinking Our love's on the
borderline, I
know this ship is sinking I
still remember when we talked about the
Southern Cross a
long time ago Look through my window and I
watch the
cold rain falling Somewhere in the
distance I
can hear a
siren calling Is this a
wilderness or just another station on the
Rock Island Line? When I
first came to this town with sweet anticipation My days were filled with music, and my nights with conversation I
didn't worry, didn't care which way the
wind was blowing Yes there was magic in the
air, and music kept on flowing. I
was a
superman riding on a
river She always wanted so much more than I
could give her I
still remember everytime we said goodbye when I
was back on the
road I
was a
rhythm man, now I'm a
local hero I
still remember when my luck was down to zero Right now I
sit and wonder why nobody ever comes to knock on my door. Now life is bitter, life is sweet, life is what you make it Your love makes my life complete, and I
just can't forsake it The
time has come to travel on, yes now the
days I'm counting We're going back to where we come from, gonna live on some old mountain. It's four in the
morning, and I'm sitting here still thinking Our love's on the
borderline, I
know the
ship is sinking I
still remember when we talked about the
Southern Cross a
long time ago I
was a
rhythm man, now I'm a
local hero I
still remember when my luck was down to zero Is this a
wilderness or just another station on the
Rock Island Line?
