A Dishonest Man歌词完整版
I had a woman in a county
on the coast
Beautiful
and smarter than most
She took her chances
like all the rest
Of all her choices
I wasn't her best
See I've stumbled through my life
like a Rolling Stone
Lived out of a bag
and got no home
Got no place
to tie me down
Just a chancer
never homeward bound
I tried hard
to be honest and true
But I can't be told
Just what to do
I can't be told
just how to be
This chip on my shoulder is a big part of me
I have to admit I've been a fool for a smile
Lingered where I shouldn't
for more than a while
Covered myself with alibis a plenty
Always Arriving late
with a tank full of empty
Always thinking charm
could cover my tracks
Said the sweet things that
painted over the cracks
But I am the loser this time
My Daddy showed me
I would end up alone
that I'd always be lonely
She tried to show me
that love is real
Her trust and faith
wasn't mine to steal
Caught like a thief
by my own shameful past
I destroyed something special
that was built to last
But to be alone with her at the end of the day,
Holding each other as night slips away
Feeling her body cool next to mine
Lost in a moment every time
Now as I wander
under a jagged sky
I realise the debts
and the reasons why
I am left not knowing
what to do
Because I know life's pleasures
are sacred and few,
We fell in love
But it had to end
We tore each other apart
again and again
Couldn't agree to disagree
She brought out the worst in me
But she made me feel like no other
Why is it in loss that we often discover ?
That all we had
was more than most
That's why I am back
in a County on the coast
I destroyed a memory
and that's the tragic truth
My eyes in the rear view
show me the proof
I don't want this feeling
in my heart anymore
I want a future that's true and sure
If I lay down my cards
on our table
Could we talk
or would that be too painful ?
I stand here before you
hoping you'll reconsider
I can't change the past
its your finger on the trigger
I know I am no good-
but I'm no also ran
and I am asking you
Is it possible
to forgive
a dishonest man?
