Kris Kristofferson - Casey`s Last Ride слова песни
Casey joins the hollow sound of silent people walking downThe stairway to the subway in the shadows down below;Following their footsteps through the neon-darkened corridorsOf silent desperation, never speakin` to a soul.The poison air he`s breathin` has the dirty smell of dying`Cause it`s never seen the sunshine and it`s never felt the rain.But Casey minds the arrows and ignores the fatal echoesOf the clickin` of the turnstiles and the rattle of his chains."Oh!" she said, "Casey it`s been so long since I`ve seen you!""Here" she said, "just a kiss to make a body smile!""See" she said, "I`ve put on new stockings just to please you!""Lord!" she said, "Casey can you only stay a while?"Casey leaves the under-ground and stops inside the Golden CrownFor something wet to wipe away the chill that`s on his bone.Seeing his reflection in the lives of all the lonely menWho reach for any thing they can to keep from goin` home.Standin` in the corner Casey drinks his pint of bitterNever glancing in the mirror at the people passing byThen he stumbles as he`s leaving and he wonders if the reasonIs the beer that`s in his belly, or the tear that`s in his eye."Oh!" she said, "I suppose you seldom think about me,"Now" she said, "now that you`ve a fam`ly of your own";"Still" she said, "it`s so blessed good to feel your body!""Lord!" she said" "Casey it`s a shame to be alone!"
