ellis paul - Trolley Car слова песни
Its a snowy night, the cops shut down the freewayBig men in plows are out carving up the streetsBelow them, jammed on a subway,Im with two hundred over-dressed strangersBrushing snow off coats and shouldersKicking snow off dress shoe feetChorus:You live six miles down this trolley cars trailUp above the red line, where the street musicians wailWhere baby, we used to chase down coffeeOn the sidewalk take in tunesWed drink in the waning hoursTill we polished off the moonWho knew the moon would failAbove the trolley car trail"park street, next station"Says a voice with an accent Ive heardAnd I see shoppers on the platformWhere green and red lines divergeI fight my way through the packages and the bowsTo a pay phone, the operator knowsShe says to me, "your nervousness shows"I say, "nervous is too kind a word"Bridge:I think snowfall should be measuredBy how much it takes a city by surpriseBy how far back old timers go to rememberThe last time a blizzard stung their eyesLast time I rode a subwayYou had summer in your eyesYou didYour phone rings, but it only brings your voiceOn a message machine, "im not here, the tape is clear"Me, Im off the hook it seems"i called," I say, "to say `helloTo coax you out where the snowmen growBut youre not home, and hey, I gotta go,It was good to hear your voice."
