[00:01.000] 作曲 : Harry Chapin
[00:10.958]It was raining hard in 'Frisco
[00:15.431]I needed one more fare to make my night
[00:19.462]A lady up ahead waved to flag me down
[00:23.928]She got in at the light
[00:29.782]Oh, where you going to, my lady blue
[00:33.682]It's a shame you ruined your gown in the rain
[00:40.149]She just looked out the window, she said
[00:44.028]"Sixteen Parkside Lane"
[00:57.211]Something about her was familiar
[01:00.418]I could swear I'd seen her face before
[01:04.868]But she said, "I'm sure you're mistaken"
[01:08.299]And she didn't say anything more
[01:14.849]It took a while, but she looked in the mirror
[01:18.847]And she glanced at the license for my name
[01:23.370]A smile seemed to come to her slowly
[01:26.891]It was a sad smile, just the same
[01:33.262]And she said, "How are you Harry?
[01:37.228]I said, "How are you Sue?
[01:41.475]Through the too many miles
[01:43.292]And the too little smiles
[01:45.772]I still remember you"
[02:07.543]It was somewhere in a fairy tale
[02:11.747]I used to take her home in my car
[02:15.829]We learned about love in the back of the Dodge
[02:19.821]The lesson hadn't gone too far
[02:25.780]You see, she was gonna be an actress
[02:30.192]And I was gonna learn to fly
[02:34.352]She took off to find the footlights
[02:38.267]And I took off to find the sky
[02:54.297]Whoa, I've got something inside me
[02:59.074]To drive a princess blind
[03:02.445]There's a wild man, wizard
[03:05.634]He's hiding in me, illuminating my mind
[03:11.873]Oh, I've got something inside me
[03:18.079]Not what my life's about
[03:21.400]'Cause I've been letting my outside tide me
[03:26.568]Over 'till my time, runs out
[03:47.297]Baby's so high that she's skying
[03:54.127]Yes she's flying, afraid to fall
[04:03.292]I'll tell you why baby's crying
[04:10.215]'Cause she's dying, aren't we all
[04:24.731]There was not much more for us to talk about
[04:28.841]Whatever we had once was gone
[04:32.670]So I turned my cab into the driveway
[04:36.494]Past the gate and the fine trimmed lawns
[04:42.952]And she said we must get together
[04:46.735]But I knew it'd never be arranged
[04:50.779]And she handed me twenty dollars
[04:53.154]For a two fifty fare, she said
[04:55.324]"Harry, keep the change" ”
[05:01.250]Well, another man might have been angry
[05:04.943]And another man might have been hurt
[05:09.087]But another man never would have let her go
[05:13.130]I stashed the bill in my shirt
[05:19.202]And she walked away in silence
[05:23.042]It's strange, how you never know
[05:25.555]But we'd both gotten what we'd asked for
[05:31.328]Such a long, long time ago
[05:39.366]You see, she was gonna be an actress
[05:43.785]And I was gonna learn to fly
[05:48.351]She took off to find the footlights
[05:51.443]I took off for the sky
[05:57.832]And here, she's acting happy
[06:02.076]Inside her handsome home
[06:06.133]And me, I'm flying in my taxi
[06:10.077]Taking tips, and getting stoned
[06:16.075]I go flying so high, when I'm stoned
