Skates Lyrics

	作词 : Desser
	When I was younger, a part-time job worker
	Department store centre, I saw a man enter
	He was middle-aged, deep lines on his face
	Tight mouth and eyes glazed
	Eyelids just half-raised
	And I looked at him, he looked at me
	He looked so sad, I had to see
	What did he want, what could it be
	What had he been through before me seeing him
	In the store I worked for that year, that year
	Ice skates he asked for, In the middle of summer
	He wanted a good pair, the price he did not care
	I looked for his size, our best pair he tried
	Costom back and sides, excitement in his eyes
	I asked are you a pro, he looked sad and said no
	These skates are my last hope
	Without them i cannot cope
	And he said my wife, she drowned this summer
	Behind our house, the river took her
	I cannot swim, I need to find her
	I will wait till it freezes over
	And then I will skate, as far as it takes
	I will skate as far as it takes, to bring her back home
	To bring her back home, to bring her back home
	Back home

	When I was younger, a parttime job worker
	Department store centre, I saw a man enter
	He was middleaged, deep lines on his face
	Tight mouth and eyes glazed
	Eyelids just halfraised
	And I looked at him, he looked at me
	He looked so sad, I had to see
	What did he want, what could it be
	What had he been through before me seeing him
	In the store I worked for that year, that year
	Ice skates he asked for, In the middle of summer

	I will skate as far as it takes, to bring her back home
	To bring her back home, to bring her back home
	Back home
