Taxi (出租车) - Harry Chapin[00:00:00]

Written by：Harry Chapin[00:00:00]

It was raining hard in 'Frisco[00:00:12]

I needed one more fare to make my night[00:00:16]

A lady up ahead waved to flag me down[00:00:20]

She got in at the light[00:00:24]

Oh where you going to my lady blue[00:00:30]

It's a shame you ruined your gown in the rain[00:00:34]

She just looked out the window and said[00:00:40]

Sixteen Parkside lane[00:00:44]

Something about her was familiar[00:00:57]

I could swear I'd seen her face before[00:01:01]

But she said I'm sure you're mistaken[00:01:05]

And she didn't say anything more[00:01:09]

It took a while but she looked in the mirror[00:01:15]

And she glanced at the license for my name[00:01:19]

A smile seemed to come to her slowly[00:01:23]

It was a sad smile just the same[00:01:27]

And she said how are you harry[00:01:33]

I said how are you sue[00:01:38]

Through the too many miles[00:01:41]

And the too little smiles[00:01:44]

I still remember you[00:01:46]

It was somewhere in a fairy tale[00:02:07]

I used to take her home in my car[00:02:12]

We learned about love in the back of the dodge[00:02:16]

The lesson hadn't gone too far[00:02:20]

You see she was gonna be an actress[00:02:26]

And I was gonna learn to fly[00:02:30]

She took off to find the footlights[00:02:34]

And I took off to find the sky[00:02:38]

Oh I've got something inside me[00:02:54]

To drive a princess blind[00:02:59]

There's a wild man wizard[00:03:02]

He's hiding in me illuminating my mind[00:03:06]

Oh I've got something inside me[00:03:13]

Not what my life's about[00:03:18]

Cause I've been letting my outside tide me[00:03:21]

Over 'till my time runs out[00:03:27]

Baby's so high that she's skying[00:03:47]

Yes she's flying afraid to fall[00:03:54]

I'll tell you why baby's crying[00:04:03]

Cause she's dying aren't we all[00:04:10]

There was not much more for us to talk about[00:04:24]

Whatever we had once was gone[00:04:29]

So I turned my cab into the driveway[00:04:32]

Past the gate and the fine trimmed lawns[00:04:36]

And she said we must get together[00:04:43]

But I knew it'd never be arranged[00:04:47]

And she handed me twenty dollars[00:04:51]

For a two fifty fare she said[00:04:53]

Harry keep the change[00:04:56]

Well another man might have been angry[00:05:01]

And another man might have been hurt[00:05:05]

But another man never would have let her go[00:05:09]

I stashed the bill in my shirt[00:05:14]

And she walked away in silence[00:05:19]

It's strange how you never know[00:05:23]

But we'd both gotten what we'd asked for[00:05:27]

Such a long long time ago[00:05:31]

You see she was gonna be an actress[00:05:39]

And I was gonna learn to fly[00:05:43]

She took off to find the footlights[00:05:48]

And I took off for the sky[00:05:52]

And here she's acting happy[00:05:57]

Inside her handsome home[00:06:02]

And me I'm flying in my taxi[00:06:06]

Taking tips and getting stoned[00:06:10]

I go flying so high when I'm stoned[00:06:16]
