Some Bartenders Have The Gift Of Pardon - Mark Eitzel (马克·艾扎)[00:00:00]
Spec's almost drowned off the coast of California[00:00:29]
And started this museum[00:00:36]
To help the shipwrecked remember[00:00:39]
They grow quiet[00:00:43]
The sea grows colder[00:00:47]
Drinking the night away[00:00:51]
Burn bridges grow older[00:00:54]
Kent worked at Spec's since 1970[00:00:58]
Right after Haight Street finally choked on its own vomit[00:01:05]
An impartial smile made him a gentleman[00:01:12]
Some bartenders have the gift of pardon[00:01:21]
A bar has a longer history than a country[00:01:42]
What keeps the moon chained[00:01:49]
Are ridiculous acts of faith[00:01:52]
And after a couple of drinks[00:01:56]
Visionary eyes all burn[00:01:59]
The drunks seem saint-like[00:02:04]
In their disillusion[00:02:07]
Kent always knew the serious nature of a smile[00:02:11]
Knew the serious nature of the job he was given[00:02:18]
Never told himself there's only so much a man could take on[00:02:25]
Some bartenders have the gift of pardon[00:02:33]
With the same old tape wearing out in the background[00:03:11]
Billie Holiday "Solitude"[00:03:17]
Or some sad old Irish folk songs[00:03:20]
You're not promised the moon[00:03:24]
Or lied to by its distractions[00:03:27]
You enter the world alone[00:03:31]
And that's the first and the last thing[00:03:34]
It seems one night he was having a hard time falling asleep[00:03:38]
And found himself in an accidental shipwreck[00:03:46]
Dreaming he's still at the bar counting sheep[00:03:53]
The cold ocean threw its chains around his neck[00:04:00]
Never have to worry about counterfeits at 2 a m [00:04:16]
'Cause that's all there is[00:04:23]
'Cause that's all there is[00:04:26]
Just some old poets drinking[00:04:29]
The last nightmare in[00:04:33]
And the comfort of the dark[00:04:37]
And being forgotten[00:04:40]
Some bartenders have the gift of pardon[00:04:45]
Some bartenders have the gift of pardon[00:04:52]
