| 作词 : Henry | |
| She stands and unfurls her | |
| Clean bed clothes by the door | |
| Like a barber shakes all that falls | |
| From your shoulders to the floor; | |
| And I find a letter I’d once written | |
| Half buried in her drawer | |
| And I wonder how I’ve come to know | |
| So much less than I knew before. | |
| All over town, they’re lining up to watch | |
| As the carnival goes by, | |
| And tomorrow they’ll be sweeping up the streets | |
| And the last furloughed G.I.s; | |
| But by the early evening, | |
| You’ll wonder how it is and so will I | |
| That we ever let another Tuesday afternoon | |
| Come and pass us by. | |
| But I’m best to believe | |
| No more than I can carry when I leave, | |
| And I’ll be fearing nothing save good luck. | |
| Somebody’s burning something | |
| I can see the smoke from here | |
| Rising just above the hill and falling | |
| Like one last futile cheer; | |
| If I would’ve known the way it goes l’d’ve been the first to volunteer | |
| To climb up in the trees before aIl the ground around me disappeared. | |
| But I’m best to believe | |
| No more than I can carry when I leave, | |
| And I’ll be fearing nothing save good luck. | |
| But I’m best to believe | |
| No more than I can carry when I leave, | |
| And I’ll be fearing nothing save good luck. |
