caseys last ride — текст песни (Kristofferson Kris)

***************** CASEY `S LAST RIDE *****************

written and performed by Kris Kristofferson.


Verse 1:
Am G
Casey joins the hollow sound of silent people walking down
F Em
The stairway to the subway and the shadows down below
Am G
Following the footsteps through the neon darkened corridors
F Em
Of silent desperation,never speaking to a soul


Verse 2:
F Am
The poison air he`s breathing has a dirty smell of dieing
G Em
Cause it`s never seen the sunshine and it`s never felt the rain
Am G
Casey minds the arrows and ignores the fatal echoes
F Em Am
Of the clicking of the turnstile and the rattle of his chains


Verse 3:
C G
Oh,she said Casey it`s been so long since i`ve seen you
C
Here,she said Just a kiss to make a body smile
G
See,she said I`ve put on new stockings just to please you
C
Lord she said Casey can you only stay awhile


Verse 4:
Am G
Casey leaves the underground and stops inside the golden crown
F Em
For something wet to wipe away the chill that`s on his bones
Am G
Seeing his reflection in the lives of all the lonely men
F Em
Who reach for anything they can to keep from going home


Verse 5:
F Am
Standing in the corner,Casey drinks his pint of bitter
G Em
Never glancing in the mirror at the people passing by
Am G
He stumbles as he`s leaving and he wonders if the reason
F Em Am
Is the beer that`s in his belly or the tear that`s in his eye


Verse 6:
C G
Oh,she said I suppose that you seldom think about me
C
Now,she said Now that you`ve a family of your own
G
Still,she said It`s so blessed and good to feel your body
C
Lord,she said Casey it`s a shame to be alone
