Shawn Mullins - Casey`s Last Ride слова песни
Casey joins the hollow sound of silent people walking down The stairway to the subway in the shadows down below; Following their footsteps through the neon-darkened corridors Of 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 echoes Of 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 Crown For something wet to wipe away the chill that`s on his bone. Seeing his reflection in the lives of all the lonely men Who reach for any thing they can to keep from goin` home. Standin` in the corner Casey drinks his pint of bitter Never glancing in the mirror at the people passing by Then he stumbles as he`s leaving and he wonders if the reason Is 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!"
