This Shirt - Mary Chapin Carpenter (玛丽翠萍·卡本特)[00:00:00]
This shirt is old and faded[00:00:12]
All the color's washed away[00:00:15]
I've had it now for more damn years[00:00:17]
Than I can count anyway[00:00:20]
I wear it beneath my jacket[00:00:23]
With the collar turned up high[00:00:26]
So old I should replace it[00:00:29]
But I'm not about to try[00:00:32]
This shirt's got silver buttons[00:00:40]
And a place upon the sleeve[00:00:43]
Where I used to set my heart up[00:00:46]
Right there anyone could see[00:00:49]
This shirt is the one[00:00:52]
I wore to every boring high school dance[00:00:54]
Where the boys ignored the girls[00:00:58]
And we all pretended to like the band[00:01:00]
This shirt was a pillow for my head[00:01:10]
On a train through Italy[00:01:13]
This shirt was a blanket beneath the love[00:01:15]
We made in argeles[00:01:19]
This shirt was lost for three whole days[00:01:21]
In a town near buffalo[00:01:24]
'Till I found the locker key[00:01:27]
In a downtown trailways bus depot[00:01:30]
This shirt was the one I lent you[00:01:45]
And when you gave it back[00:01:48]
There was a rip inside the sleeve[00:01:51]
Where you rolled your cigarettes[00:01:54]
It was the place I put my heart[00:01:57]
Now look at where you put a tear[00:01:59]
I forgave your thoughtlessness[00:02:03]
But not the boy who put it there[00:02:05]
This shirt was the place your cat[00:02:09]
Decided to give birth to five[00:02:11]
And we stayed up all night watching[00:02:14]
And we wept when the last one died[00:02:17]
This shirt is just an old faded piece of cotton[00:02:21]
Shining like the memories[00:02:26]
Inside those silver buttons[00:02:29]
This shirt is a grand old relic[00:02:44]
With a grand old history[00:02:47]
I wear it now for Sunday chores[00:02:50]
Cleaning house and raking leaves[00:02:53]
I wear it beneath my jacket[00:02:56]
With the collar turned up high[00:02:59]
So old I should replace it[00:03:02]
But I'm not about to try[00:03:05]
