Kathy Mattea The L&N Don't Stop Here Anymore歌词


When I was a curly headed baby
My daddy sat me down on his knee
He said, "son, go to school and get your letters,
Don't you be a dusty coal miner, boy, like me."

[Chorus:]
I was born and raised at the mouth of hazard hollow
The coal cars rolled and rumbled past my door
But now they stand in a rusty row all empty
Because the l & n don't stop here anymore

I used to think my daddy was a black man
With script enough to buy the company store
But now he goes to town with empty pockets
And his face is white as a February snow

[Chorus]

I never thought I'd learn to love the coal dust
I never thought I'd pray to hear that whistle roar
Oh, god, I wish the grass would turn to money
And those green backs would fill my pockets once more

[Chorus]

Last night I dreamed I went down to the office
To get my pay like a had done before
But them ol' kudzu vines were coverin' the door
And there were leaves and grass growin' right up through the floor

[Chorus]

L'Arc〜en〜Ciel 虹 歌词

10/09 21:14
時は奏でて想いはあふれる 途切れそうなほど透明な声に 歩きだしたその瞳へ 果てしない 未来が続いてる 本当はとても心はもろく 誰もがひびわれている 降り出した雨に濡れて 君はまた立ち止まってしまうけど 信じてくれるから 誰より高く 空へと近づく 輝きをあつめ光を求める 燃えつきても 構わないさ 全ては真実と共にある Ah- 「少年は人の影に歪んだ憎しみを見た」 そんな世界なんてもう何も見たくないよ 何も! 何も! 何も! それでも想う 貴方のことを 季節が流れていても- 目を閉じていつも見てた風
